Ane 2009 Fek Derape, Gad Kot Ameriken Retounen déjà 259 Ayisyen

Nan yon ti bato a penn 25 pye de longue, 100 ayisyen kip ran chans kite peyi d’Ayiti pou yo al pran chans yon an peyi lot bo dlo.

Herezman, yo pat gentan rive louyen ke Gad Kot Ameriken te pose la pat sou yo e voye yo retounen lakay yon an Cap Haitien.

Bato ayisyen sa pat gen asse manje dlo,ekipman sovtaj pou tout moun sayo. Se posib ke si yo pat sove yo yo tap peri nan lanme carayab la.

Janvye fevrye se sezon bon jan vent donk se posib ke nou fek kare we boat people paret sou nou e avek bagay yo ki pa finn tro bon nan peyi a, yon nouvo gouvenman Demokrat ki pral komanse la, tout moun ap pran chans yo, politikman e ekonomikman.

U.S. Coast Guard|by PA3 Barry Bena

MIAMI - The Coast Guard Cutter Seneca returned 100 Haitian migrants to Cap Haitien, Haiti, after the Coast Guard Cutters Bear and Seneca rescued them from their grossly overloaded vessel in the waters northeast of Cuba.
While on a routine Caribbean patrol, Bear crewmembers detected the 25-foot sail freighter on radar. Once on scene, Bear crewmembers discovered a total of 100 Haitian migrants aboard.

The Seneca was diverted from its patrol to assist the Bear. To minimize safety concerns in the event the vessel capsized or migrants fell overboard, Bear and Seneca crewmembers provided each migrant with a personal flotation device prior to transferring them from the overloaded vessel to the cutter.

The Coast Guard has increased its patrol presence in the Caribbean during the winter season when strong winds and larger than normal waves can create extremely dangerous conditions for migrant voyages. These overloaded and unseaworthy vessels can quickly lose stability and capsize sending migrants into the water. Frequently, migrants do not have personal flotation devices and do not carry sufficient supplies of food, water and medicine. These factors can create an extremely dangerous and potentially deadly situation for migrants who make the ill-advised decision to take to the sea.

Seneca crewmembers provided food, water, shelter and basic medical care to the migrants prior to returning them to Haiti. The Coast Guard has repatriated 259 Haitian migrants since Jan. 1.

Bear is a 270-foot medium endurance cutter homeported in Portsmouth, Va.

Sa du anpil lèw wè konpatriyôt nou yo ap kité péyi a nan kondisyon sa. Yo riské vi yo nan 2 ti moso planch, yo pa pè ké lanmè ak reken manjé yo, paské yo réyalizé sa yap subi nan peyi dayiti pi mal ke sa. Aksyon sa yo ta dwé fè apèl ak konsyans moun kap dirijé péyi a. Mkonnen yo pa ka fè mirak, men yo ta dwé fè minimôm omwen pou moun yo ta ka viv tankou moun.

Mwen ta swété ké responsab peyi a ta fè ou jan pou édé maléré yo, paské sé paské pa gen lavi ki fè yap koui kité péyi yo ak fanmi yo pou yal riské vi yo. Mpa konn pou tout moun, men sa fèm mal anpil. Sak pi rèd la, mèm si yo voyé yo tounen, yo fèk kômansé pran bato
