Haiti Uprising Rekindled After Latest Corruption Report


2019-06-09-Demonstration-in-PAP.jpg

Thousands marching through the Haitian capital on Jun. 9, 2019.

Thousands took to the streets in towns and cities around Haiti on Sun. Jun. 9 to demand President Jovenel Moïse’s resignation and the prosecution of those responsible for looting about $2 billion from the government’s Petrocaribe Fund.

In Port-au-Prince, after two buildings and several vehicles were burned, a police spokesman said gunfire killed two demonstrators and wounded four, and that a policeman was injured by a thrown rock. But opposition figures and radios reported at least seven killed and over 100 wounded by gunfire from police and government-aligned gangs.

“Two protestors were killed on the Champ de Mars, two in La Plaine, and another three in the area around Delmas and Belair,” said Yves Pierre-Louis, the news director of Radio Timoun, housed at the Aristide Foundation for Democracy. “And that doesn’t include several young people who have not returned home and are now disappeared. Dozens of people were arrested.” The police say only 12 people were detained.

FOR TWO DAYS, PORT-AU-PRINCE WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY PARALYZED BY A GENERAL STRIKE…

In addition to the capital, large demonstrations also shook Cap Haïtien, St. Marc, Jacmel, and Gonaïves. Barricades of burning tires, cinder-blocks, old beds, car bodies, and even billboards blocked streets around the country, including several rural arteries.

In Port-au-Prince, demonstrators threw rocks at the French Embassy on the Champ de Mars, charging it supports Moïse. Nearby on Rue Capois, demonstrators also vandalized the King of Kings Supermarket and broke some windows with rocks on the Cine Triumph.

Then on Mon. Jun. 10 and Tue. Jun. 11, Port-au-Prince was almost completely paralyzed by a general strike which shut down public transportation, and most businesses, banks, schools, factories, and government offices. On Monday, in the relatively affluent town of Pétionville in the hills above the capital, some banks and businesses opened in the morning, but, seeing no activity, they closed around noon. On Tuesday, a few of the assembly factories in the SONAPI Industrial Park opened. Prensa Latina reported that public transportation was still mostly stopped, but “several shopping centers, pharmacies, banks, gas stations, and restaurants did resume their services.”

According to Pierre-Louis, “for these first two days, we can say the strike succeeded close to 100%.”

In February, Haiti was “locked down” (the protestors’ term) by massive demonstrations for 10 days. That uprising demanding Moïse’s departure has been rekindled by the release of a second report on May 31 by Haiti’s Superior Court of Auditors and Administrative Disputes (CSCCA), in which Moïse’s companies are accused of bilking the Venezuelan-oil-fed Petrocaribe Fund of about $2 million.

The over 600 page report also details vast corruption under the government of Michel Martelly, Moïse’s PHTK predecessor and mentor.

Journalists Targeted

Meanwhile, several attacks on journalists have rattled the media.

On the evening of Mon. Jun. 10, an unidentified gunman fatally shot journalist Pétion Rospide near the National Theatre as he was driving home from work at Radio Sans Fin, which he founded about a year ago with former Radio Caraïbes journalists Yvenert Foeshter Joseph and Israel Jacky Cantave.

Prior to the 2004 coup d’état, Rospide had been a member of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide’s security corps. He was arrested by de facto authorities after the coup and spent several years as a political prisoner in the National Penitentiary, despite a vocal campaign for his release. From 2008 to 2011, he was a journalist and distributor with Haïti Liberté newspaper, before starting a small car rental business and becoming an activist behind the founding of the consumers defense group Active Solidarity with the Struggle of Haitian Consumers (SALCONH) with Joseph and Cantave.

In recent broadcasts on Radio Sans Fin, Rospide had been critical of Pres. Moïse’s corruption and police brutality against demonstrators. He had commented on a recent viral video of police stoning a man face down on the ground near the home of Pres. Moïse in Pelerin 5.

Rospide’s murder took place in the 3rd Circumscription near Portail Léogâne where another regime critic, journalist Vladimir Legagneur, disappeared on Mar. 14, 2018, allegedly at the hands of pro-government gangs which are powerful in the area.

Also on Monday, men torched three jeeps belonging to Radio Tele Ginen, which is viewed by the population as a pro-regime outlet, and stoned some of its journalists.

Richardson Jourdan, a journalist with Haitian National Television (TNH), was also attacked by a crowd on Fri. Jun. 7.

Government Unmoved

Despite the specter of a reinvigorated revolt, the government says it will stand its ground. Jean Michel Lapin, the acting prime minister, said Monday that Jovenel would serve out his five year term which began in February 2017.

Moïse himself has repeated on several occasions that he will not step down but is willing to negotiate with the opposition, which has rebuffed the offer.

MOÏSE HAS SAID THAT HE WILL NOT STEP DOWN BUT IS WILLING TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE OPPOSITION, WHICH HAS REBUFFED THE OFFER.

Even Lapin has not been ratified yet, after three failed attempts to hold a Senate session to hear his General Policy, due to the determined efforts of four opposition senators: Evalière Beauplan (PONT), Antonio Chéramy aka “Don Kato” (VERITE), Ricard Pierre (Piti Dessalin) and Nenel Cassy (Fanmi Lavalas). Division and wrangling for influence and bribes among regime allies has also contributed to the non-ratification.

A presidential adviser, Renald Lubérice, now says that Lapin should withdraw. This could be a harbinger that Moïse will jettison the highly uninspiring Lapin for another candidate. But Lapin dismissed Lubérice’s statement, saying it was just the opinion of “a citizen” and that he has “100% sincere cooperation” with Moïse.

As Repression Rises, So Does Anger

On Monday morning, either Dimitri Hérard, the head of the Security Unit to Guard the National Palace (USGPN), or one of his security detail fatally shot a motorcycle taxi driver on the airport road.

The shooting provoked outrage among the moto-taxis that swarm Haiti’s streets. Like angry bees, they chased Hérard’s cortege back to his house in Delmas 31 before being dispersed by police with tear-gas.

The incident captures the escalating nature of the crisis. With every killing, the masses become more enraged.

“If Jovenel and his acolytes continue to be hard-headed in trying to keep power, Jovenel will be responsible for everything that happens, the country will shut down until he falls,” wrote the Konbit of Political, Union, and Popular Organizations on Jun. 7. “Strikes, mobilizations, and petro-blockages are going to spread across the nation… The Konbit calls on organizations, parties, and political groups to work to find a quick entente on an alternative to replace Jovenel. Put all personal interest aside.”

I had to remind myself what happened in the 2010-2011 elections.

Haiti's election: a travesty of democracy | Mark Weisbrot

2010–11 Haitian general election - Wikipedia

The deadline to file candidacy for the elections was August 7.[11]

The list of presidential candidates was to have become official on August 17 after the nine-member provisional electoral council was to announce the eligibility criteria.[12] However, the election commission postponed its ruling until August 19 because of disagreement on the electoral law which stipulates that candidates must hold a Haitian passport and have five consecutive years of residence in Haiti, among other requirements. This was to affect Wyclef Jean, Jacques Edouard Alexis, and Leslie Voltaire.[13]

The absence of the Fanmi Lavalas (FL) party was notable because of its popular support. Peter Hallward[14] explained: "The final FL list of candidates was endorsed by the party leader (Jean Bertrand Aristide) by fax, but at the last minute the CEP invented a new requirement, knowing FL would be unable to meet it: Aristide, still exiled in South Africa and denied entry to Haiti, would have to sign the list in person."

Scenario for PHTK
May 1. 2019

cover-top-1.jpg

Only one thing is certain, it is the business of Jovenel Moise and his clique PHTKiste in power.

The lastest events have just highlighted with clarity all that we have never ceased to reveal in our columns that banditry and insecurity operating in the country are programmed by the ruling classes allied with the imperial forces to better rule on the population. Today, following the assassination of Carrefour-Feuille's bandit leader, Jean Sony, better known as Tije at Delmas 83, the population of this area feels relieved and the power draws from it politically.

The gang leader Tije executed by the police

To hear the Secretary of State for Communications, Eddy Jackson Alexis, the entire government is pleased with the well-orchestrated elimination of Tije , a criminal mercenary who makes the law; but what the population does not know, this bandit is a creation, a product of the system. He is not the first and he will not be the last as long as this system exists.

Admittedly, Tije was twice victim, the first is the fact that the system had converted this mechanic profession criminal criminal to solve its own goals. The second to have murdered under the feverish excuse of always, that is to say, exchanges of gunfire with the police to sleep naive.

Gracia Delva

Why the government of PHTK, a den of legal bandits with Sonson Lafamilia, Gracia Delva, Yuri Latortue, Joseph Lambert, Arnel Joseph to name but a few, since they are numerous, he chose to erase Tije instead of mastering him to question him about the origins of his arsenal of weapons. Is it to erase some tracks? The physical elimination of Jean Sony must not clear the power, since he is accomplice of the banditism just like Arnel and Tije.

Jovenel Moise and Guy Philippe

Did President Jovenel Moise not circulate during his election campaign with the mercenary Guy Philippe? Did not his predecessor of the same ilk, Michel Martelly, still work with Roro Nelson and Sonson Lafamilia? The Haitian population must understand the issue and that the enemy, the real is not really Arnel Joseph and Jean Sony since they are only instruments in the service of a system working under the orders of other leaders some of which even killed judges.

In addition, the senator of the Artibonite Gracia Delva, has just been expelled from his party Ayiti An Aksyon (AAA), Yuri Latortue a former ally of the PHTK. Organizations defending human rights and society have also called for the lifting of Senator Delva's immunity.

Michel Martelly and Roro Nelson

Police announce that gang leader Arnel Joseph has been injured during a police operation. The timing of the actions of the power is very questionable. Why all this effort now, and not before? This whole scenario is for national consumption.

Only one thing is certain, it is the business of Jovenel Moise and his clique PHTKiste in power.

@loyola llothta @Jesus is my protector can someone explain to me how this corruption has even started or allowed to have proliferated? Like, there's NOTHING in place in Haiti to stop blatant corruption? Like how does these guys get in power? It seems like the ones making decisions are the ones in power whom won't check themselves.
Only @loyola llothta or @intruder v6.1 can answer that.
