Ce que nous observons sur le continent américain, c’est la décision des États-Unis de dicter et de déterminer les politiques des pays qui le composent. Il ne s’agit plus simplement pour certains pays d’être indépendants ; ils doivent constamment rester sur la défensive pour ne pas hypothéquer leur souveraineté nationale, même lorsqu’ils ne manifestent aucune hostilité envers cette puissance et que rien ne s’oppose au maintien de relations de bon voisinage. Ce que recherchent les États-Unis dépasse la simple tradition diplomatique : c’est leur volonté qui doit triompher, imposée par une domination politique et économique totale. Les États-Unis ont toujours exercé une influence leur permettant de s’ingérer dans les affaires de certains pays et de s’emparer de leurs ressources locales. À Miami, Trump a créé le club ultraconservateur « Bouclier des Amériques », officiellement pour lutter contre le trafic de drogue et les réseaux criminels. Toutefois, ce club vise un...

Le secrétaire général adjoint de l’OEA, Albert R. Ramdin, en conversation avec le Premier ministre Alix Didier Fils-Aimé dans la cour du Palais National d’Haïti Le ballet des délégations étrangères — qu’elles viennent des Nations unies, de l’OEA ou de la CARICOM — qui ne cessent de se succéder dans le pays n’a pas pour but de régler les affaires haïtiennes. Ces émissaires sont dépêchés par leurs chefs d’entreprise pour accomplir une mission spécifique : confirmer la tendance régionale à l’accession au pouvoir de dirigeants défendant des idées réactionnaires et conservatrices, et militant pour le maintien de l’ordre impérialiste. C’est ainsi qu’il faut comprendre l’arrivée en Haïti, le dimanche 16 août 2026, du secrétaire général adjoint de l’OEA, Albert R. Ramdin, et de la secrétaire générale de la Communauté des Caraïbes (CARICOM), Carla Barnett, à la tête d’une délégation déclarée de haut niveau pour une mission officielle prévue du 16...

Ils sont tous complices ! Haiti Liberte Dans la mascarade électorale sous l’égide de l’impérialisme américain, dont le premier tour est prévu pour le 13 décembre 2026 selon le calendrier publié par le CEP, 17 groupements et 88 partis politiques ont été agréés pour participer au scrutin. Mais qu’est-ce qui a changé dans le pays entre 2021 et 2026 pour justifier cette fièvre électorale inquiétante et la vaste propagande publicitaire déployée par le CEP ? N’est-ce pas là une façon de revenir à la case départ de nos malheurs ? Sur quelles nouvelles bases la société entrevoit-elle la possibilité d’un avenir meilleur à l’horizon fin 2026 ? Y a-t-il eu un tournant ? Un moment où la société accepte de s’engager dans une autre voie, avec une mentalité différente, une vision différente ? Si nous ne le faisons pas, c’est parce que vous vous complaisez à voir les Haïtiens être...

0 A 20-year-old robbery suspect has been remanded to Dodds Prison after the prosecutor told the court that a firearm was allegedly used in the offence and another suspect is still being sought. Javonte Rashide Marshall-Jordan of Martindales Road, Bannister Land was not required to plead to the indictable offence of robbing Shane Drax of $1 600 on Saturday.

Marshall-Jordan’s attorney Senior Counsel Angella MItchell-Gittens urged the court to find that her client was a suitable candidate for bail....
