Should Aristide be allowed back? Did he Steal the 2000 Elections?

Part 8 - "Should Aristide be allowed back?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noL8L5DziaQ


In this segment, RAM weighs in on whether the exiled former President of Haiti should be allwed to return to his homeland.

Aristide was first elected December 16, 1990 and overthrown in a CIA-backed military coup, the evening of September 30, 1991. As one of several conditions for his return to Haiti in 1994, then U.S. President Bill Clinton and "Western" allies demanded that the 3 years he spent in exile be counted as part of his 5 year presidential mandate. As the Haitian Constitution forbids two consecutive terms, he could not run in the elections organized under his presidency in 1995. The next opportunity for him to run was in November 2000.

Part 7 "Did Aristide Steal the 2000 Elections"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W5LN64eldk



In this segment, RAM tries to recall how things unraveled in Haiti 10 years ago. The May 21, 2000 Legislative Elections and the November 26, 2000 Presidential Elections are put in context. Aristide Haitian and foreign foes claim these elections were rigged in favor of the exiled former President's Fanmi Lavalas (FL) party.




Part 6 -- "It was a coup, I participated!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxh8J6HCe4w

In this segment, RAM explains his rationale for taking part in the February 2004 coup d'état that toppled the government of president Jean-Bertrand Aristide. He claims to have attended coup-plotting meetings in Washington. I asked him whether, now in 2010, he has any regrets. Can you guess his answer?

The full interview, including the English segments (Part 5 forward) will continue to be posted on Youtube over the coming days.

N.B.: The first segment (parts 1-4) is available in Kreyol and covers a range of topics that may help shed light on current events unfolding in Haiti, as the nation braces for the final days of Y2010.

this guy is full fo sh...... will he accept to live in exile when the Constitution of his country forbids that?He has the nerve to say that some people should go with him.I am surprised that you continue the interview after he said such non sense..Who is he?Does the american government have the right to decide who should live in haiti and who should not ?I dont'understand the purpose of this interview.

Wozo,

An reyalite, chita pale sa a fèt yon mannyè bridsoukou. Mwen prèske pa edite anrejistreman an. Reyaksyon ou etone m, paske mwen kwè sa RAM di yo merite pou nou ta reflechi sou yo.

Tankou mwen di sa deja, mwen gen anpil respè pou RAM paske sa mande kouraj pou yon moun denonse gang "fanmi" k ap souse peyi a tankou se yon plantasyon kolonyal depi dikdantan. Se pa jodi a misye ap riske vi li nan mete yon seri koze deyò, keseswa sou entènèt osnon nan interview li bay.

Sa deranje mwen tou, lè mwen remake misye gen lè pa konprann li abize privilèj kòb ak koulè ba li nan sosyete nou an. Ki lakòz li kapab pote kole ak yon gwoup moun nan reyinyon Washington pou yo defèt eleksyon 7000 reprezantan leta Ayisyen. Men, si nou ta jije RAM pou defo sa a, fòk nou ta jije prèske tout klas Ayisyen priviliejye ki te chwazi mache nan menm lojik la. Epi, apre nou fin jije, kondane..... fòk nou gade nan glas tou wi!

Sa mwen vle di, sè ke li enpòtan anpil pou nou pratike sa nou preche. Si nou vle byen viv youn ak lòt, fòk nou aprann kominike youn ak lòt. Sa vle di, fòk nou fòse tèt nou koute son ki deranje zòrey nou.

Chita pale sa a mwen fè ak RAM nan pote anpil leson pou mwen. Li fè mwen sonje doulè ki te nan konvèsasyon mwen te genyen ak Lilianne Pierre-Paul, nan ane 2002 lè nou te rankontre Montréal epi li t ap choute gwo boulèt dèyè gouvènman Aristide la, ak tout kalite bri kouri. Se menmman parèyman lè mwen rankontre jenn gason Bèlè k ap plenyen ki jan Lòlò (Boukman Eksperyans) rale zàm sou yo nan manifestasyon GNB....epi mwen pran plenyen pou di se pa vre Lòlò pa yon nèg ki pratike vyolans...epi orezime konklizyon mwen sè ke si nou pa aprann pale. Si nou pa aprann koute....lapèrèz mele ak enkonpreyansyon ap lakòz malè mennen malè nan lavi nou.

Mwen panse anpil moun te rantre nan kabwèt GNBis la ak tout bònfwa yo...jodi a, se ògèy sòt ki fè yon gwo kantite nanpopilasyon an pa ka aksepte se MOUN nou tout ye. Pa gen ni zanj, ni dyab nan mitan nou. Menm sila yo ki pi devègonde pami nou yo, gen mwayen pou nou ta jere devègondaj yo a, si nou te itilize bon zouti, bon prensip, bon estrateji.

Nan tout salmannaza k ap pase ak seleksyon 2010 yo, mwen ka di ou se chita pale ant MPP (Chavannes Jean-Baptiste) ak Baz Fanmi Lavalas, Jean-Henry Céant reyisi fè a ki pi enpresyone mwen. Pa paske mwen kwè Céant ap genyen seleksyon an. Men paske misye montre bon chimen an.

Nou ap toujou gen mak nou pote ki fè nou kenbe yon frè nan kè....men li lè li tan pou nou rekonèt mak ki sou po frè a tou epi pou nou travay pou nou sispann voye kout manchèt tankou moun fou.

RAM rann nou yon gran sèvis lè li pale klè konsa a. Sa mwen espere, menm jan mwenmenm sa te afekte mwen sensèman lè mwen aprann nouvèl manman misye ki chape anba goudougoudou....menm jan mwen te kontan wè misye peye anplwaye li yo kòmsadwa....menmjan misye te apresye travay Lafimen an...menm jan nou toulede te ka apresye epi respekte imanite youn lòt la....mwen kwè konpatriyòt sa a gen kichòy li ka aprann mwen, epi se posib mwen te ka aprann li kichòy tou. Pètèt misye deja wè lòt manm gwoup RAM yo pa gen mwayen vwayaje ale Washington pou yo kapote gouvènman limen li ta renmen kore.

Alèkile misye ap mache ak kouzen li Sweet Micky. Se chwa pa li. Mwenmenm, mwen pa pare pou mwen aplodi yon nèg ki desann pantalon li nan figi Ayisyen epi ki ap ranni tout lasent jounen lè se ak Ayisyen parèy li l ap pale, epi ki konfòme li devan jounalis blan. Men, èske mwen ka kont RAM ki deside sipòte kouzen li?

Alèkile bagay la tounen yon koze Fanmi toupatou.

11 FANMI yo ap dirije plantasyon an
RAM ap kore pwòp fanmi pa li.

Èske Lavalas la limenm ap rete san Fanmi?

Granmoun yo ta di: Sa ki la ka wè!
