Haiti News and Politics
I am so very sad about this news - https://ayibopost.com/fraudes-electorales-abus-sexuel-scandales-a-leglise-episcopale-dhaiti/. The Episcopal Church in Haiti had a seminary for years in Haiti - already well established when I was there 40 years ago... Just as they have one in Sto Dom - the one called "the Cathedral" - the Union Church in Gazcue.. which serves as a sorta "main line Protestant English" church. They use the US Military "prayer" book - which is also the "Episcopalian" one - as is the US "National" Cathedral in DC. The Church in Haiti used to run under the NY Diocese as does the one in Sto. Dom....
I could not watch it through... None of those panelists have any credibility to me... sorry.
Relevance was only that a request for asylum is only valid from those escaping from imminent danger - Haitians moved from Chile and Brazil etc en masse when the Biden administration took office, thinking that they had a chance to be admitted... but they were safe where they were - many had working papers - etc. So they were NOT eligible for asylum interviews and were deported back to Haiti. Thus perhaps - hopefully - discouraging other Haitians from leaving safe havens that they had found in other countries from trying to enter the US.
The UN has set up "sanction list " and a "committee" to decide who should be on it/ (I imagine this is going to take a long time -- the only name that is really agreed on is BBQ - and the reports from the ground is that there are NO credible reports of BBQ EVER having kidnapped or raped anyone - unlike leaders of many of the other gangs.
Lots of the smaller accounts that I follow are having a lot of fun with that saying things like "oh Good - now he will not be able to take vacations in the South of France"
This Haitian/Anerican is quoted often and seems to have a lot of credibility -

Annie, this link works better: https://ayibopost.com/fraudes-electorales-abus-sexuel-scandales-a-leglise-episcopale-dhaiti/
That logic would apply to the majority of those seeking asylum. Mexico is considered a safe third country.
He isn't a Trumpet; he was in the employment of the US government long before 45. He seems credible based on his experience in Haiti, and his over knowledge, whether you are in disagreement with him or not. Sounds like you have a personal bias that isn't based on his knowledge base.
Jean-Charles Moise urges Haitians to arm themselves with machetes in preparation for a “revolution”

Some friends of mine in Haiti have mentioned this guy. Milot is the town next to the Citadelle. I was there many times before he was mayor. His wikipedia article lists Castro as one of his "philosophical and ideological influences." If that's what they want, fine. But it will only further isolate them from the rest of the world.
Yes - perhaps I misspoke - He is simply a loose cannon-
He was recalled by Trump
https://www.lusakatimes.com/2020/01...ng-of-us-ambassador-daniel-foote-from-zambia/
who then sent him to Haiti as "special envoy" as Congress had requested one be appointed
And one may remember that Trump once referred to Haiti as one of the s--t--le countries??
so.. then he quit
over Biden's policies?
and
has resigned
and now confined to speaking up for the "Haitian People"
on
"Al Jazeera"
which is not in most cable packages
not gonna discuss US immigration policies on this thread
perhaps on the other Haiti thread???
it was An Aside
Back to a back and forth
I had with Windeguy a few days ago
RE
the fact that Wyclef Jean
was produced by Paul Simon
whom I consider one of the best musicians of my lifetime
so I started to listen to his (wyclef's) music
A great sadness is over the hearts of most Haitians
over the death of this great musician of this young muscian
who collapsed on stage in Paris
at age 41
a few days ago
the young Haitians over on Twitter
are very grateful that YouTube has removed all ads
from all of his videos
Slightly more credible than the Washington Post or NY times, LOL. Haiti is a sh-thole country under the definition the phrase was being used to describe.
