The international community: the Saint-Graal very much sought after by Haitian politicians
3 min readThe social and political crisis in Haiti is escalating. The terrorized population does not know where to turn. In the meantime, in complete disregard of popular concerns, the politicians of both extremes, obsessed with power, go to conquer the international community, the sacred jewel to guarantee them the direction of the country.
Jovenel Moïse seems more and more reassured by the support of the international community. Despite the strong resistance of the opposition, it does not shake. Not showing great interest in dialogue with the extremists of the opposition, he does not stop to hold the speech of foreigners, namely: the inter-Haitian dialogue to resolve the crisis. Like his opponents of the opposition, the foreign card is extremely valuable to him. For good reason, he had called for help from the OAS to play arbitration in the crisis following the systematic refusal of the opposition to dialogue. More recently, he informed a foreign mission coming to the presidential security and, even closer, he asked for humanitarian aid to be sent to Haiti accompanied by logistical means.
A remarkable fact to note in the foreign policy of the executive is the vote of non recognition of the legitimacy of the elected Venezuelan president. A decision that has angered the population including the political opposition. Despite the burden of petrocaribe on his head and his relatives PHTK, the president to ensure his rear made the most unpopular choice by arranging the side of the United States. Maybe one of the factors that still guarantees the consolidation of power. He is probably not the only one to be convinced of this support, the opposition believes it hard. Moreover, she keeps calling the members of the Core Group to leave the tenant of the National Palace, she believes, becoming an obstacle to the popular struggle. And with this in mind, they also from the opposition also initiate the same conquest not only by always responding to invitations from foreigners but also organize meetings in the diaspora to bring back to their cause some congressmen and executives of the Trump administration.
On the other extreme, the radical political opposition does not stand out from this strategy. It seems that the international community is the essential element in the seizure of power in Haiti. Firm on their positions, political opponents swear in their lives not to meet the tenant of the national palace. However, they met no less than three times in the space of two months representatives of this community in question. This week again, in particular, this November 20, 2019, they are still expected in a meeting with a senior officer of the Trump administration coming to discuss a possible resolution of the crisis. If they constantly refuse the hand of the head of state, they accept without hesitation the invitation of the American Embassy.
Indeed, the Haitian solution so urged by the international community to always remain the least of the worries of the opposition as well as the power. On both sides, they are courting foreigners to support their antagonistic projects. Those on the one hand, to maintain the power and on the other hand, to dismiss the president in office and to take possession of the state. The people in this scenario, who are called to remain mobilized, are nothing but a means used to achieve the satisfaction of their values.
The hour is serious, the outcome of these meetings scheduled with the American delegation will be determining in the resolution of the crisis. Behind the scenes, there is already a plan to impose on Haitian actors. Such a plan rejected by the opposition, which demands before the letter the inclusion of the departure of Jovenel Moise in the discussions. If foreign emissaries do not consider this option, they risk returning empty-handed, threatening opponents to power. But would they really be able to resist the « whites »?
It should be noted that the content of his types of discussions has always remained secret. The protagonists in their malice have always communicated to the press information puffed. The last meetings with CoreGroupe clearly illustrate this aspect. In the meantime, actors from the two poles are contacted for exchanges and the population, for three months, remains under the locks of an opposition that swears by the departure of the head of state attached to the respect of his mandate.
