Refuser l'impuissance. Faire circuler l'information. Merci Mme Laurent pour la détermination.
Les pauvres de Cité Soleil sont seuls. Pas de pétitionnaires disponibles pour eux.
Il faudrait que des avocats progressistes haïtiens de la diaspora et étrangers forment un groupe pour défendre les intérêts des pauvres. Quitte à aller devant la Cour internationale si la justice haïtienne s'entête dans son fonctionnement militaro-macoute.

Les petites gens ont peur
il n'y a de justice nulle part.
Il y a des espions partout.
et les grenn-nanbounda n'hésiteraient pas à envoyer dans la nuit leurs ninjas armées jusqu'aux dents
pour éliminer les cibles gênantes.
d'après eux ce serait une "lutte entre gangs ".
Comme vous souvenez-vous, Pinochet avait dit que les assassinats des membres du MIR
étaient commis par les membres du MIR eux-mêmes dans une guerre fratricide.
C'était faux. Ils avaient été assassinés par les militaires chiliens
Mais les media ont véhiculé le mensonge pendant longtemps.
En Haïti, c'est du pareil au même.
Depuis 1957, ça tue les militants, ça tue les journalistes, ça tue les syndicalistes,
ça tue les pauvres , ça tue les intellectuels
-attention à ne pas confondre avec la race dite des zen-tellectuels aux abonnés absents, svp-
et ça prétend que ce sont des règlements de compte.
Avec les 2 frères Izmery, c'était difficile de dire qu'ils s'étaient entretué
ou bien que lors d'une querelle l'un de leurs domestiques les aurait tué.
Il y avait trop de témoins.
L'assassinat de Georges Izmery, un 26 mai 1993
Mais pour Jean Dominique, Jean Marie Vincent, par exemple, c'est ce vieux scénario de
guerre entre gens soit-disant du même bord qui est diffusé.
C'est Lavalas, c'est Dany Tousaint, c'est Aristide, etc.
Mais qui est le véritable auteur du crime ?
En tous les cas, Jean Dominique a été liquidé pour le faire taire, pour créer du désordre,déstabiliser et décrédibiliser le camp progressiste.
A l'intérieur même du camp progressiste, chacun s'est mis à se méfier de son collègue.
Les espions et spécialistes en zen faisaient courir les pires rumeurs
Toujours de source sure , à savoir : " un de mes amis qui est toujours au Palais qui connaît quelqu'un dont je ne peux pas dire le nom sinon ça lui poserait de graves problèmes, m'a dit qu'on lui a dit..."
Un vieux truc ultraduvaliériste de semer la panique à l'intérieur même d'un groupe pour le supprimer.
Rappelez-vous la pièce de Bertold Brecht, sous Hitler les parents discutent à voix basse
du régime et soudain s'apercoivent que leur fils n'est plus dans la pièce. Ils sont persuadés
que l'enfant est allé les dénoncer. Une propagande si efficace que l'enfant pourrait dénoncer ses parents.
Vieille stratégie d'extrème-droite mais toujours efficace.
Puisque le slogan " Aristide est pire que Duvalier " a pu marcher, je dirais même courir.
Et que le règne des Duvalier peut cyniquement être présenté
comme une période paradisiaque
par la crême de la crême
Il est vrai que certains membres d'une certaine élite sont atteints d'Alzeihmer précoce et sélectif.
Alors Christophe Wargny écrit "Haïti n'existe pas " avec raison
Parce que, qu'est-ce c'est qu'un pays sans mémoire ?
Un ramassis d'individus défendant leurs intérêts personnels au jour le jour.
Une colonie.
Dirigée comme toute colonie qui se respecte par des gens de sac et de corde.
Le message de Mme Laurent :
HLLN Statement:
Regarding the allege illegal expropriation of the private property of people in
Site Soley by USAID, MINUSTAH, US Embassy and DYNCORPS
On August 22, 2008, we posted on our Ezili Danto’s HLLN listserve and an urgent appeal, from Haitian human rights lawyer and advocate, attorney Evel Fanfan, in Haiti, asking for international mobilization of help for property owners in Site Soley whose assets were taken over to make way for a new MINUSTAH headquarters in Site Soley, allegedly being built by the private US Embassy defense contractor DYNCORPS with monies from USAID.
According to counselor Evel Fanfan’s appeal, “More than 155 private homes and buildings in Site Soley are being destroyed without even a notice or compensation plan for the owners. This giant cleanup operation is being carried out by the firm, DYNCORPS, the chief agent of the American Embassy in Haiti with USAID as the financing source…”
Upon further investigation, HLLN learned that the subject property owners have complained to the Haitian government, to at least three Haitian officials and apparently have been told by these officials that they are not party to this transfer. There is apparently a "magistra" in Site Soley who has the "case.”
It is clear that no mayor or ‘magistra’ in Site Soley has the legal right to unilaterally confiscate private property whatsoever and hand it over to foreigners. So, the question is: who within the Haitian government had the legal authority and authorized the demolition by DYNCORPS and building for MINUSTHA and US Embassy on the property of Haitians who did not transfer their land titles and are still the legal owners of the expropriated properties?
Who in the Haitian government authorized this taking of private property for MINUSTAH and foreign use and do these buyers or lessees not have the duty to not only 1). disclose to the owners how they came to claim title to these private lands, but also 2). to make sure that the authority from whom they rest
their rights and title actually has the LEGAL authority to transfer said private Haitian property to them and for the use being made of it? MINUSTAH, DYNCORPS, US Embassy, USAID cannot break ground and take possession of private property in Haiti without the legal right to do so. What are MINUSTHA, USAID,
US Embassy and DYNCORPS basing their titles to occupy these lands upon? Upon
whose authority?
There is a Haitian law and procedure for decreeing certain private property state property. We shall soon publish this Haitian law. Suffice it to say it requires due notice, hearing and compensation to the property owners. The owners in this matter have not had any notice whatsoever, and certainly no compensation before DYNCORPS, the private US Embassy defense contractor, began demolition of their property.
“Rev. Eddy Michel, a preacher at the Christian church, The Apostles' Foundation, one of the institutions that is a victim of this operation, said he was, " completely astounded to find out about this cleanup operation with no warning, no explanation, or plan for compensation on the part of City Hall, MINUSTAH, or the American Embassy which together are authorizing, securing and financing this work." Lebon Isaac, Senior Pastor of the church says he is "the legal property owner of this piece of land on which we have been building the church since 1994", and, he reports, "this is the case for several other neighbor owners". (See Evel Fanfan’s August 22, 2008 appeal, copied below).
This is an urgent matter for the Haitian government to address. The demolition must stop, and the people living in the community must be heard on this issue before USAID may fund whatever it is going to built behind the MASSIVE walls that are currently being built on private property by DYNCORPS. Whoever it is,
within the Preval government, who has the legal oversight over the actions of MINUSTHA, USAID, DYNCORPS, US Embassy must step into this breach, call for a stop to the demolition and constructions in Site Soley “taking place in front of the Place D'Arme.”
These foreigners – MINUSTAH, USAID, DYNCORPS and US Embassy may should not be above the law while telling all in sundry they are in Haiti to institutionalize law, transparency, justice and democracy. They appropriate Haitian law mandates that the owners of the land and buildings cannot be divested of their interests without the due process of law, and proper compensation. At the moment these Haitian owners allege their properties are being illegally taken. This charged must be answered, not only by the Haitian government, but by MINUSTHA, USAID, DYNCORPS and US Embassy - all are obligated to show they have legal authority, legitimate title and have followed the proper legally mandated procedures for divesting these owners of their legal titles in the subject lands.
These, uhmmm, "buyers/lessees" have a duty to be sure they are contracting from a seller ABLE to make the transfer, before their personal defense contractors, DYNCORPS, start bulldozing private HAITIAN property and building a massive, massive wall, right in the middle of a defenseless Site Soley community that has no idea what's happening.
Finally, I note that we are aware that many of the property owners are hesitant about protesting this gross and flagrant violation of their civil rights and existing Haitian laws. It took a lot of courage for these poor resource-less Haitians from Site Soley to ask for our help in the international community because their adversaries are powerful and many fear 'y ap mete yon bagay sou do m' - that these internationals will simply label them as "bandits" or "gangsters" and they'll be disappeared or thrown into jail with indefinite detention for expressing outrage and dissent over abuse of their rights.
Remember DYNCORPS, who is financially benefiting from demolishing these properties and building this massive compound, is a powerful private Defense Contractor with authority from the absolutely powerful US Embassy, USAID and MINUSTAH forces in Haiti.
We ask that everyone stay tuned and please call Attorney Evel Fanfan directly as he indicated in his appeal, as well as Rev. Eddy Michel of the Apostles' Foundation, to help in whatever way you can and to show your solidarity.
These Haitian men are facing down very powerful forces and the solidarity of truly caring people, the world over, is immeasurable in times like this. When one knows not the manner of retaliation that may be exacted, the suffering, irreparable damage, if not death that may come about from this simple appeal for help and for simply asserting their human right to tell their story to you and ask for your help and solidarity. Your solidarity is critical. Human lives are at stake.
We urge all major media and international news outlets to not remain silent and to please cover and report on this story as soon as possible.
