Closing press conference after Caricom meeting in Jamaica yesterday. Comments and questions from reporters.






Hmm :patrice: idk what to think… will caricom back a hostile takeover by gangs? It wasn’t even the military who took control. I can’t recall any gang ever taking over the government and it led to a good outcome. Fidel Castro? But he wasn’t a gang in my opinion.

Plus there are many different warring gangs in Haiti…. This is a tricky situation…even the Haitian revolution’s toussaint was well trained and studied … 🤔

I think I get your point.
But read some of the older posts. The representatives of Caricom had meetings IN Haiti with Henry and the opposition political people a few times already.
The actual Caricom leaders met with Henry face to face and rivals( via zoom ) a few weeks ago. Nobody budged.
Because Ariel is a buffoon, he telegraphed his movements and people knew he left the country. With NO security plan in place or protection for his supporters.
Running to BEG entranger to come in and fix the problem, thinking that as long as America recognizes him as the leader, he's good.

Sensing their chance, the gangs unleashed more havoc...Henry's supporters were left high and dry.
During the talks yesterday, all parties involved saw him for the weak imbecile that he is, including those who backed him previously.
Stalling until strangers came in to fix the problem doesn't work anymore, and he doesn't have the resources or leverage to re-enter the country without those outsiders.
Caricom and others are negotiating with the same opposition and Henry supporters that they've been mediating with before. Not the gang members.

She was there in 2011 with Jean Claude Duvalier.
Their son Nicholas lives/spends most of his time in Haiti.
Thanks, wasn't aware of this. Made my skin crawl to see him and Aristide* resurface after the earthquake.
I fully expected baby doc to get shot in the head in public. The kids of his victims were surely there at the time. Perhaps the shock and mourning from the catastrophe distracted people. Didn't think anybody could travel freely around Haiti with the Duvalier last name. Wow.

* I think I remember Aristide proclaiming that he was the legitimate leader in Haiti, because of how he was removed and his term was never served.
Leadership in Haiti is such an embarrassment.

Haiti's politics is even more confusing than Congo's.

No it isn't. Congo's conflicts stem from its Eastern neighbors (Rwanda Uganda Burundi indirectly Kenya and TZ as well) with the backing of the international community (US, EU, Canada, Australia etc) combined with the corrupt weak illegitimate (in power through massive election fraud) political leadership to pillage the country's resources in the eastern DRC (i.e lithium and other strategic minerals required for the energy transition and decarbonization) all because foreign entities do not want to pay market price. Really that simple.

Leave DRC alone and a lot of these "problematic" countries alone, voila they wouldn't be the "basket case" countries that they are perceived to be or be labeled as "incapable of democracy"

I bet you Haiti is not as complex as ppl make it seem. From my experience, the perception of complexity in a lot of "problematic" regions is done in order to make the problem unsolvable which means accepting the status quo (continued chaos) or some kind imperial power or imperial backed power to restore "order".

Not familiar with Haiti's politics but that's my take. A lot of these "complex" political problems are not that "complex".
