Societal reflection: The behavior of Haitian politicians towards the population
In Haiti, politics is not merely an exercise of power; for many, it has become a refuge, a profession, a personal career where the public interest takes a back seat. For decades, the behavior of Haitian politicians has strayed from their primary mission: to protect, uplift, and defend the people.
Outlines of a youth policy
A different kind of genocide is taking place in Haiti today, a genocide without bullets or machetes, but whose effects are just as devastating. This genocide is the destruction of our knowledge, our traditions, our culture, and our collective identity.
And all this is happening under the impassive gaze — sometimes complicit — of the country's political, economic and intellectual elites.
Haiti: The Silent Genocide of Knowledge and Memory
A different kind of genocide is taking place in Haiti today, a genocide without bullets or machetes, but whose effects are just as devastating. This genocide is the destruction of our knowledge, our traditions, our culture, and our collective identity.
And all this is happening under the impassive gaze — sometimes complicit — of the country's political, economic and intellectual elites.
“Vertières for me is a memory for all, an inspiration for tomorrow”
I speak about what I feel. It's not an absolute truth, but it's my observation, my emotion. I hear and accept criticism, from both sides. Voices from the host community question, some voices from the Haitian-Quebec community express their disagreement. I don't deny these differences. But faced with this gesture—a metro station named Vertières—I feel a strength rising within me that compels me to speak out.
The Haitian people are dying.
Every day, crimes, assassinations, murders, and killings have become part of our daily lives. Added to this are other silent tragedies: those who die for lack of care because our hospitals are closed. Those who choose suicide after suffering the horror of gang rape. Those who no longer have access to ARVs for HIV or essential drugs for tuberculosis. Those who are still dying of cholera.
Returning to the Ruins: Manipulation or Strategy?
The image is relentless: cracked walls, gutted houses, entire neighborhoods reduced to concrete carcasses. This is the current face of lower Delmas, Solino, and the surrounding areas. And yet, in this apocalyptic setting, armed groups are calling on the population to return to live in their neighborhoods.
Haiti under disguised guardianship: time for national reappropriation
On August 20, 2025, the Organization of American States (OAS) presented a roadmap to "save" Haiti. A colossal budget: $2.6 billion. Six well-chosen pillars: security, governance, elections, humanitarian aid, sustainable development, and the economy. An attractive vocabulary, a promise of coherence and synergy with CARICOM, the UN, the Kenyan-led multinational mission, the IDB, PAHO, and so many other foreign actors.
Nature always takes its place
For several months now, a discreet but revealing phenomenon has been attracting attention: Haiti is becoming greener again. Where landscapes had become impoverished over the years due to the massive felling of trees for charcoal production, we are now seeing an unexpected regeneration.
234 years of Bwa Kay Iman: the legacy that binds us
Two hundred and thirty-four years ago, on the night of August 14, 1791, our ancestors rose up at the Bwa Kay Iman to say no to slavery, yes to freedom, and yes to unity. It was not just a gathering, but the founding act of a national consciousness: Haitian Unity.
