Aloske Paul Farmer e Brian Concanon mande nou pou nou lobby gouvenman Obama pou'l sa fe bon chanjman pou Ayiti.
Chanjman ki rele chanjman tout bon vre.
Lot moun a di Bondye papa ki chita Washington pa foure bouch yo nan zafe Ayiti!!
Yon bagay ki vreman impossib!!
Men mesye sa yo pa gen je pou we ke, Washington ap toujou foure bouch yo nan zafe nou.
Se nou ki pou ranje nat nou pou pinez sa yo pa mode nou

Revelasyon

THE INAUGURATION of a US president committed to reversing "the failed policies of the past" provoked sighs of relief around the world. Few were more relieved than the citizens of Haiti, because few have suffered so much from failed US policies.

But Haitians are still waiting to see whether the "past" that is to be reversed extends beyond the illegal and destructive policies of the last eight years to include over two centuries of US policies that have failed both our oldest neighbor and our highest ideals.

Our treatment of Haiti was bad enough during the Bush administration. We imposed a development assistance embargo in 2001, because we did not like the elected government's economic policies. The embargo stopped urgently needed government programs - a Partners In Health study found that cancelling water projects in just one city had a devastating impact on health in the area. In 2004, US officials forced Haiti President Jean-Bertrand Aristide aboard a clandestine flight to Africa and placed a Bush supporter from Florida at the head of Haiti's government. Thousands were killed in the ensuing political violence. Years of hard-won progress toward democracy were erased overnight.

But our mistreatment of Haiti started earlier, as soon as Haiti became independent in 1804, when we refused to even recognize the new republic run by freed slaves. We invaded Haiti in 1915, to ensure repayment of a debt to Citibank. We propped up ruthless dictators in the name of fighting communism. In the 1980s, we decimated Haiti's agricultural base by forcing subsidized US rice on Haitian markets.

These policies failed Haitians terribly. They cost thousands of lives lost in political violence. Millions more suffered because Haiti's governments could not or would not provide clean water and basic healthcare. The policies have also failed the United States, by requiring us to mount expensive military interventions, respond to repeated waves of refugees, and deal with the drugs that transit easily through an unstable Haiti on their way from South America.

Haitians are hoping that America will reverse the failed policies of the past.
Their hopes are grounded not just in President Obama's promise, but in their own country's brief, but successful, experiment with democracy from 1994 to 2004, and in America's important contributions to that success.

Haiti's democratic interlude included contested elections, and struggles to provide basic justice, education, and healthcare - the predictable challenges of a poor, emerging democracy. But it also included Haiti's first transfer of power from one elected president to another in February 1996, and its second in February 2001. Democratic progress included extending AIDS retroviral therapy to rural areas that had never before had a simple clinic. It included two historic trials that brought powerful figures from Haiti's former army and current police force to justice.

These successes were due, in part, to US government investments. US troops intervened to restore the constitutional government in 1994. USAID helped craft Haiti's successful application for financing from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. US judges, prosecutors, and police officers trained their Haitian counterparts, and we helped equip Haitian courts with basic legal resources and materials.

We now have a historic opportunity to work with Haiti's current constitutional government to build a stronger, more prosperous Haiti.
Seizing this opportunity will require restraint, and faith in democracy: We will need to allow elected Haitian leaders to make their own policy decisions, even if we would have decided otherwise.

We will also need to invest in democracy. Three days' spending in Iraq or two weeks' interest on the bank bailout could fund Haiti's entire government for a year. Prudent, depoliticized investments in Haiti's democracy will yield dividends of prosperity and stability to Haiti, and will save US taxpayer dollars in the long run by reducing the flow of refugees and drugs to our shores. Perhaps most important, by helping rebuild a better Haiti, we will show the world how, in President Obama's words, "we are ready to lead once more."

Paul Farmer ak Brian Concannon genlè fè w pè wi.
De nèg sa yo se te opozan fawouch koudeta ak koudetayis 2004 yo.

Genlè mesye yo ap made pou OBAMA demare kat ke mesye BUSH yo te mare wi

Genlè mesye yo ap made pou OBAMA demare kat ke mesye BUSH yo te mare wi

Avek Obama ki vinn Prezidan, moun espere ke li pra’l chanje tout bagay ke Bush te fe pandan 8 tan ki sot passé la.

Wi Obama komanse ap fe 2 e 3 chanjman, men se pa tout bagay ki finn fet ki kap chanje dijou o landemen e gen evenman ki inchanjab. Yo fet yo fet net.

Jan Ayisyen remen di a: si yon poul pond yon ze, lap preske inpossib pou refoure’l an dan vant poul la.
Nan fosse, poul la kap mouri, e ze a kap kwaze.


M' si ke Dr. Farmer ak avoka Brian pral pale de evenman fevrye 2004 la e efe negatif ke sa gennyen sou ekonomi peyi a.
Yo pral mande petet pou Aristide tounnen, pou MINUSTAH ale. Pou tout sak te fet sou Bush la defet.

Opinyon pa’m se ke ambassade Janet Ann Sanderson byen ke se Repibliken li ye, lap fe yon bon travay nan peyi d’Ayiti san pati pri. Mambzel la toupatou e li pare pou ede pep Ayisyen le yo nan bezwen. m'fe madam nan konpliman pou bon travay ke li fe a e nou ta souyete ke ranplasan lan ta fe yon pi bon travay anko.

Si demokrat yo voye mambzel ale, n’si ke Obama pral voye yon nan mesye Black Caucus li yo e bagay yo kap vire an cowboy. Paske neg ameriken pa memm jan ak nou memm neg ayisyen.
Se possib ke Demokrat yo voye yon Ayisyano-ameriken tou. Nou pa jamb konnen.

Fok m di an passan ke USA pa pran yon desizyon san ke yopa konsilte Kanada, Inyon Europeyen, Brezil etc..

Apre midi a ve 5PM rete branche sou www.HaitiJustice.org, and www.PIH.org.

Non,Revelasyon

Depi kilè Etazini pa pran desizyon san li konsilte Kanada ak Inyon Ewopeyen?
Lè w ap pale de Inyon Ewopeyen an se de la Frans w ap pale?

Adye!
Lè Kanada te etabli relasyon diplomatik ak Kiba ,gouvènman Etazini an pa t dakò non;lan epòk lan yo te panse ke se anbago an Kanada ap desere e se sa ki rive ,paske apre mi Bèlen an te tonbe ,san tourism Kiba pa t a k ap siviv non.

Mwen si ke OBAMA ap ranplase madanm m lan ,menm jan BUSH te ranplase BRIAN DEAN CURRAN lan.

Aristide pa t yon menas pou enterè ameriken ,se CURRAN menm ki te di l e misye se te yon diplomat eksperimante ki te pale Kreyòl tankou rat ,menm jan ak FARMER AK BRIAN CONCANNON.

CONCANNON menm pale kreyòl tèlman byen ke kreyòl misye pi bon pase de nèg tankou VICTOR BENOIT ou byen MICHA GAILLARD (lol).

Nèg tankou Farmer ak Concannon genyen yon sèten enfliyans.Mesye sa yo genyen plis ke 4 an depi y ap voye monte kont koudeta a.
Sitou FARMER ,ki marye ak yon ayisyèn ,mwen kwè tou ke w te ka wè misye lan "60 minutes"
Mwen pa kwè y ap mande pou ARISTIDE retounen sou pouvwa a ,men y ap mande pou Aristide tounen.

Epitou Revelasyon,

OU DI KE NEG-AMERIKEN PA MENM JAN AK NOU AYISYEN.
Depi kilè?
Kouman nou ye menm ayisyen?
Nou tankou franse ?
Petèt se sa w vle di ,kouman nou ye la a menm?
Adye .
Noumenm ayisyen nou genlè inik ,se sa k fè nou pòv konsa a?
Paske mwen te wè gen nèg ki ta p di ke nou pa menm jan ak lòt nwa lan Karayib yo;yo te di sa lè KARIKOM t ap pwoteste kont koudeta a.

M’di ke neg-ameriken pa memm jan ak nou neg Ayisyen paske nou gen youn seten nayivtè lakay, yon laisser aller, yon atitid kavalye’r ki fe nou konprand ke le nap negosye avek yon « brother » parey nou, nou kap relax e si nou fe erre, yap femen je sou sa nou panse ke yo kap mwen di avek nou, nou kap bloffe yo, domi sou yo pli fasil ke blan. Se youn pesepsyon ki fo e ki kap banou anpil problem.

Sa pap siprand mwen ke mesye diplomat black caucus yo, si yo vinn an Ayiti kap pli di avek nou ke Repibliken kankou Madam Janet Ann Sanderson. Yo kap fe nou plis egzigans e met kompa sou nou pou nou avance e pou nou bay randman.

Nan ekip diplomat kap vinn ranplase ekip repibliken yo en Ayiti, sa pap siprand mwen si gen ayisyano-ameriken ladan yo.
