Titre en français Une nation abandonnée par ses gardiens.
by Max A. Joseph Jr Haitian Times

It seems that the group is of the opinion that speaking ill of the occupation is tantamount to rejecting the precepts of western civilization, which they so admired. As an ensemble, they have long rejected the concept of Negritude and instead established themselves as fanatical protectors of western orthodoxies in Haiti, a country essentially African, superficially westernized and, as fate would have it, condemned by geography.
