Jan 16, 2023

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Supporters of former rebel leader Guy Philippe have launched protests that have paralyzed some cities across Haiti as they demand the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry.


Demonstrators forced the closures of schools, government agencies and private businesses on Monday in places including the southern cities of Jeremie and Miragoane, as well as the northern city of Ouanaminthe, which borders the Dominican Republic, according to local media reports. Hundreds of protesters also were reported Tuesday in the southern city of Les Cayes, with additional demonstrations expected in coming days.


Philippe, who was repatriated to Haiti last month after serving years in prison in the U.S., said in a message to supporters that he is not plotting a coup but rather looking to transform Haiti, where poverty has deepened and gang violence has increased.


“My revolution is for the people, for the people only,” he said, adding that he does not oppose Haiti’s National Police. “I’m asking police to do their job, to protect the people.”


Philippe served nine years in a U.S. prison following a guilty plea to a money laundering charge. He is best known for leading a 2004 rebellion against former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and masterminding attacks on police stations.


Philippe returned to a Haiti that is crumbling under the power of dozens of gangs blamed for killing nearly 4,000 people and kidnapping another 3,000 last year, overwhelming police, according to the U.N.


In his speech to supporters, Philippe promised that “the suffering is going to be over pretty soon.”

Gangs in Haiti have attacked a community for 4 days and residents fear the violence could spread​

January 18, 2024



PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Gang members have raided a key community in Haiti’s capital that is home to numerous police officers and has been under siege for four days in an ongoing attack, with residents fearful of the violence spreading throughout Port-au-Prince.
The pop of automatic weapons echoed throughout Solino on Thursday as thick columns of black smoke rose above the once peaceful neighborhood where frantic residents kept calling radio stations asking for help.
“If police don’t come, we are dying today!” said one unidentified caller.

Lita Saintil, a 52-year-old street vendor, told The Associated Press that she fled Solino on Thursday with her teenage nephew after being trapped in her house for hours by incessant gunfire.

The homes around hers were torched by gangs, and she recalled seeing at least six bodies as she fled.

“It’s very scary now,” she said. “I don’t know where I’m going.”
Another resident, Nenel Volme, told the AP that he was chatting with a friend near his house on Sunday when gunfire erupted and a bullet struck a bone in his right hand.
“I don’t have the means to go to the hospital,” he said as he lifted his injured hand, which was wrapped in gauze.

It wasn’t immediately clear who organized and was participating in the attack on Solino. The community , which is home to thousands of people, was once infested by gangs before a U.N. peacekeeping mission drove them out in the mid-2000s.
The attack could mark a turning point for gangs, which are now estimated to control up to 80% of Port-au-Prince and have been suspected of killing nearly 4,000 people and kidnapping another 3,000 last year, overwhelming police in the country of nearly 12 million people.
If Solino falls, gangs would have easy access to neighborhoods such as Canape Vert that have so far remained peaceful and largely safe.
“Life in Port-au-Prince has become extremely crazy,” Saintil said. “I never thought Port-au-Prince would turn out the way it is now.”
On Thursday evening, Haiti’s National Police released a statement saying officers were deployed to Solino “with the aim of tracking down and arresting armed individuals seeking to sow panic among the civilian population.” Police also released a nearly three-minute video showing in part officers on a rooftop in Solino exchanging fire with unidentified gunmen who did not appear on screen.

Nearby communities spooked by the ongoing violence in Solino began erecting barricades on Thursday using rocks, trucks, tires and even banana trees to prevent gangs from entering.
One man near a barricade in Canape Vert said that he had been following the protests organized earlier this week by supporters of former rebel leader Guy Philippe, who has pledged a revolution to drive out gangs.
“It’s more misery,” the man, who declined to identify himself, said of Haiti’s ongoing crisis. “We are suffering. The country is gangsterized.”
Amid concerns that the violence in Solino could spill over into other neighborhoods, parents rushed to schools across Port-au-Prince to pick up their children.

“I don’t know if we’re going to be able to make it back home,” said one mother who declined to provide her name out of fear. “There is no public transportation, and tires are burning everywhere. We don’t know what we’re going to do.”

Haiti is awaiting the deployment of a foreign armed force led by Kenya to help quell gang violence that was approved by the U.N. Security Council in October.
A judge in Kenya is expected to issue a ruling on Jan 26 regarding an order currently blocking the deployment.

Police say a former Haitian vice-consul has been slain near an airport in Haiti​


,January 23, 2024


PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — A former Haitian vice-consul to the Dominican Republic was gunned down near an airport in northern Haiti, a police official told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Claude Joazard, a doctor and former senatorial candidate, was killed Sunday near the sole international airport in the northern coastal city of Cap-Haitien, said police spokesman Inspector Arold Jean.
Joazard was a former diplomat to the Dominican Republic town of Dajabon, located near the border that the countries share on the island of Hispaniola.
It wasn’t immediately clear what motivated the shooting. No one has been arrested.
Gangs have been blamed for killing more than 4,000 people across Haiti last year, according to U.N. statistics.

Widespread Protests Demand Resignation of Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry​


February 5, 2024

haiti-protests-20240205204045.jpg


The streets of Haiti resonate with the echoes of discontent, as the nation finds itself in the grip of widespread civil unrest. Major cities across the country have been brought to a standstill, with protests demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry escalating on Monday. The unrest led to the closure of banks, schools, and government agencies, hitting hardest in the northern and southern regions where demonstrators erected flaming roadblocks, effectively halting public transportation.

Smaller Protests and Clashes in the Capital​

Media outlets reported on smaller-scale protests in the nation’s capital, Port-au-Prince. Here, confrontations with police led to the use of tear gas to disperse protesters who gathered in front of Henry’s office. Among the crowd was presidential candidate and former Prime Minister Claude Joseph, who was observed dealing with the effects of tear gas.

Protests Culminate on a Symbolic Date​

The protests are part of a series of demonstrations planned to span at least three days, culminating on Wednesday, February 7. This date holds historical significance for Haiti. It marks the exile of former dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier in 1986 and the inauguration of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the nation’s first democratically-elected president, in 1991. The protesters have chosen this date as the symbolic deadline for Prime Minister Henry to step down.

Tension Mounts as Haiti Grapples with Unrest​

As Haiti grapples with this significant unrest, the potential for further disruptions to daily life and instances of violence remains a concern. Safety precautions have been advised for those in affected areas. The world watches as the Caribbean nation battles through this turbulent period, with the outcome of these protests poised to shape Haiti’s political landscape.

Attorney for widow of slain Haitian president rejects indictment and says it’s politically motivated​

Feb 21, 2024
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — An attorney for Haitian President Jovenel Moïse’s widow, who was indicted in his assassination, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he believes the accusations against her are politically motivated.

U.S.-based attorney Paul Turner said he was surprised by media reports this week detailing the indictments against Martine Moïse and dozens of other suspects including the former prime minister and the ex-police chief. He also questioned whether the judge’s report is real or has been finalized, noting that Haitian government officials did not contact his client as required and that he and other attorneys are reaching out to them for clarity.
“If there is a genuine reason to talk to Martine … we can make her available if the circumstances were fair and just,” Turner said, adding that she could talk online. “Or we can meet in the U.S. where we know there’s not going to be a safety concern.”

Turner said he believes not everyone involved in the July 2021 assassination at Jovenel Moïse’s private residence has been arrested, and that Martine Moïse, who was injured in the attack, and her children still fear for their lives.
“She categorically denies any involvement,” he said.

Turner also accused the administration of Prime Minister Ariel Henry of ordering the indictment.
“What do they do? They indict their perceived opposition. There is definitely a perception that she would or may run in the future,” Turner said. “Nothing else makes sense.”
He said he has never talked about politics with his client and does not know if she plans to run for office.

A spokesman for the prime minister’s office did not respond to messages asking for comment.
Haiti has repeatedly delayed holding a general election as the country battles a surge in gang violence and awaits the deployment of a U.N.-backed Kenyan police force that has been delayed by legal proceedings in the East African country.
The 122-page report issued by a Haitian judge investigating the killing noted that the former secretary general of the National Palace, Lyonel Valbrun, told authorities that he received “strong pressure” from Martine Moïse to put the president’s office at the disposal of then-prime minister Claude Joseph because he needed it to “organize a council of ministers.”

According to the report, Valbrun also said that two days before her husband was killed, Martine Moïse visited the National Palace and spent nearly five hours, from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m., removing “a bunch of things.”
The report says two days after the president was slain, Valbrun said Martine Moïse called to tell him that, “Jovenel didn’t do anything for us. You have to open the office. The president told Ti Klod to create a council of ministers; he will hold elections in three months so I can become president, now we will have power.”

Ti Klod is believed to be a reference to Claude Joseph, who is also indicted in the case. He has rejected the accusations and accused the current prime minister of “weaponizing” Haiti’s judicial system.

Both Joseph and Martine Moïse are accused of complicity and criminal association, while the former chief of Haiti’s National Police and other suspects are accused of more serious charges including murder.
Emmanuel Jeanty, a Haiti-based attorney for Martine Moïse, said in a letter to a local justice official and shared Wednesday with the AP that if the judge’s report is real, due process was not followed.
Turner added that Martine Moïse is expected to testify at an upcoming trial in the U.S., where federal authorities have prosecuted 11 suspects in the case. At least three of them have been sentenced.
Meanwhile, more than 40 other suspects including high-ranking Haitian police officials and 20 former Colombian soldiers remain in prison in Haiti, awaiting trial.

fukk that bytch. She lied so many times about the event. She said she hid under a bed but the bed is so low nobody could go under it. She said they couldn’t find her. Then she said they found her and broke her arms and shot her in the hip. There was no injury on her at all. She went to the hospital and made a scene and acted like everything hurt.


She then said she wanted to be president. She dropped it when they kept asking for her deposition under oath. Her secretary said the day before the event she changed all locks and got rid of some papers. Jovenel secretary said she told her to do Jovenel office for her.
