Overview: USAID’s dismantling under the Trump administration could pause aid programs in Haiti, impacting health and humanitarian efforts. While some see risks, others believe this shift could push Haiti to reassess its reliance on foreign aid. “We’re shutting it down.” Those were the stark words of Elon Musk, director of the Department of Government Efficiency and CEO of Tesla, referring to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), in an audio recording of himself he posted on his social platform X Monday evening. “What we have is just a ball of worms. You’ve got to basically get rid of the whole thing. It’s beyond repair,” Musk said.  The Tesla CEO’s comments, referencing plans with President Donald Trump, initially suggested a complete shutdown of USAID. However, emerging details indicate a shift toward dismantling the independently operated agency and attempting to place it under direct federal control. Just hours before thousands of...

L’insécurité qui s’abat sur certaines villes du pays, notamment Port-au-Prince, la capitale, n’est pas tombée du ciel. Pour comprendre ce qui se passe actuellement et surtout le phénomène d’insécurité grandissante, il faut se rendre compte qu’il s’agit d’une terreur instaurée par les classes dirigeantes et les pouvoirs tutélaires pour combattre la classe prolétarienne. L’histoire de la lutte dans toute société et ce, jusqu’à aujourd’hui, est celle des luttes de classes. Quand on examine la dynamique de la lutte dans la société haïtienne, il faut d’abord considérer les rapports de production. La bourgeoisie possède les moyens de production,  mais elle ne peut rien faire sans la classe des travailleurs qu’elle exploite. Examinons le niveau de développement des forces productives, le mode de production et les classes sociales en lutte qui ne sont autres que la bourgeoisie et le prolétariat. L’aggravation sans précédent de la misère du côté des travailleurs a orchestré...
