March 2024 in Nairobi.
The inheritors of the great first independent Black republic anywhere in the world has come to an inflection point. This is do or die for the second, third fourth, fifth, sixth time. Haiti is at the brink yet again, The Government there needs to make a decision before the world decides that this is too complicated or expensive to deal with and simply argue for containment.
What is containment? The world including her Caricom allies could decide that the simplest thing with Haiti, is to put American and Canadian and British and French warships around the island and not allow anyone to leave. Just bottle them up on the island and say when you have exhausted yourselves we will come and help you.
There have been two years at this trying to find a solution following the assassination of their then President. We are still no closer to a solution.
At a Caricom meeting in Guyana last week, with the US, the British and Canadians and French, with Caricom, they banged heads together and got the interim Prime Minister to agree once again, he will not run, nor his government. They got him to commit to general elections not later than 31st August 2024.
Now it’s the turn of the Opposition in Haiti but they are fixed on the Prime Minister must leave.
As if to back this up, Barbecue, the gang leader shot up the airport and caused flights to be canceled there with the stated aim of preventing the interim Prime Minister from coming back into the country from Kenya where he was finalizing a deal to get the Kenyan troops to come in and restore order.
So it’s now over to the Opposition in Haiti to step up to the plate. They have run out of excuses. They must agree to the date for the general elections, restore a united front and let’s get Haiti back in shape.
