The political situation of Haiti

For a longtime , Haiti faced with some plitical troubles whitch make it go back from day to day. I can say since 1806 these troubles began after the death of emperor Jn Jacques Dessalines who was the liberator .The politic becomes unstable in Haiti, in 1807,the country divides in two Republics Petion in West and Christophe in East , So at that time the situation was getting worse and worse .

According to the constitution, a president had to pass five years but from 1913 at 1915 we had four presidents one after another . The new was spreading in the world because our political leaders were very greedy for the power and until today . Everybody wanted to be president ,on july ,27, 1915, the president Vilbrun Guillaume and Oscar Etienne were assasssinated and the day after ,july 28 in the same year ,the Americans arrived in Haiti. So Haiti was occupyed  by the USA from 1915 to 1934 the country a little peace for a period of nineteen years.

The Americans left the on August ,21, 1934 and in 1941 after Stenio Vincent ,the problems start over with Elie Lescot who would like to change the constitution in order to continue his government and the power was at the benefit of the mulats because Lescot was a mulat .That made people become very unhappy and they manifested against him . Lescot was obliged to leave the contry. So, the situation was going on in the way before. the presidents after Lescot had almost the same though.

After that , the situation became worse and worse because there were many others presidents who passed in a few time Until Francois Duvalier became president in 1957 . Duvalier etablished in Haiti an hard regime like the king Louis XIV in France. He passed fourteen years and when he was about to die ,he gave the country to his son Jean-Claude Duvalier in 1971 who had the same way to his father to lead the country. In 1986 , Jean-Claude was obliged to leave  the the country because the people were unhappy the way jean-Claude lead the country. The country went back from day to day in the political situation with the government” provioire”.

At that time ,Aristide began to think for his part. In 1990, after Ertha Pascal Trouillot, Aristide became the president of Haiti.He came with the democracy in Haiti . He was very apreciated by the people . He govened with his general Roul Cedrace who after two years  foced Aristide to leave the country. Aristide left the country and went to USA where he planed to come back in Haiti.

On October 15,1994, Aristide went back to Haiti in order to continue his mandate . After two years , Rene Preval became president and he gouvern the country for five years . At that time he gave this memo“naje pou soti”. So the Haitians became very angry with him.Then , Aristide is one more time elected president,when he just came , the people were very happy with him . They though he was the messia according to his words. But in 2004, a man named Cubain ” Amio Meteye” was assassinated, and according to his supporters (advocates) , Aristide was one of his killers ,so the people manifested against Aristide above all (especially) Gonaives and he was obliged to leave the country  and he went to South Africa.

So  Haiti always stay in the same situation until today because there is not a link among our political leaders in order to solve this problem. without that we will stay in this situaton from today at the end .

Only I advice to the political leaders to try to put them together ,please have mercy for our Haiti, our first independent nation in Latina america. Please , get ride of all pride in order to save this young nation, in order to save Haitan people in misire, in inability of all.

Thank you ,GRace! Grace! Grace!
