Yvette Clarke: “Donald Trump and his administration have wreaked havoc on our communities. Affordability, gas prices, and making ends meet are straining the fabric of our economy.” On Apr. 11, 2026, Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke launched her campaign for reelection in New York’s 9th Congressional District. The kickoff, held in Central Brooklyn, brought together supporters, community leaders, and residents from across the district. “We are living through trying times. The very fabric of what our ancestors, our aunties, our grandmothers, and our fathers fought for is at stake. But we are not going to back down,” Congresswoman Yvette Clarke said, “That’s why I am proud to announce my candidacy for reelection to represent New York’s 9th Congressional District.

Au cours des manifestations qui se sont déroulées les lundi 13, mardi 14 et mercredi 15 avril 2026, les syndicats ont proposé un montant de 3 000 gourdes pour le salaire minimum. Face à une série de manifestations organisées par les syndicats — déclenchées par une hausse des prix du carburant, elle-même imputable à l’augmentation du coût des produits pétroliers, laquelle a des répercussions directes sur toutes les dépenses quotidiennes des ménages — les travailleurs à travers le pays réclament sans relâche une augmentation du salaire minimum.

Le mardi 21 avril 2026, le fantoche Premier ministre haïtien, Alix-Didier Fils-Aimé a été reçu par le secrétaire d’État américain Marco Rubio. Les supérieurs du Premier ministre Alix Didier Fils-Aimé l’ont convoqué d’urgence à Washington afin qu’il puisse s’exprimer sur la situation actuelle dans le pays. Il a quitté le pays le dimanche 19 et devrait y revenir le 24 avril 2026. Ses supérieurs ont profité de son absence pour lui donner des instructions concernant les prochaines étapes à suivre. Il est clair que Washington n’a pas besoin d’un président en Haïti ; ce dont il n’a pas vraiment besoin – et c’est ce qu’il a tenté de faire avec Ariel Henry, en installant neuf charlatans au poste de président de transition – ce sont des personnes qui n’avaient d’autre pouvoir que de piller les caisses de l’État. Après cette mission, Washington revient à sa formule d’un pays réduit au...

Overview: Haiti’s Provisional Electoral Council has submitted a revised elections budget after Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé and political actors rejected its initial $250 million proposal as excessive. While reports suggest the new estimate could drop to around $190 million following consultations with international partners, the CEP has not confirmed the figure and continues to defend the original cost, citing inflation, security challenges and logistical constraints. PORT-AU-PRINCE — The Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) announced that it has submitted a revised electoral budget to the Haitian government, following criticism from Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé and political parties that signed the National Pact over the $250 million initially proposed for organizing the elections. As announced, the CEP complied on April 28 with the prime minister’s demands, after he described the initial $250 million budget submitted by the council as “absurd and unacceptable.” The head of government made it clear that he...

A “koumbit” (work crew) in the film Bitter Cane, which will begin streaming on the Criterion Channel on May 1. The Criterion Channel has been described by Raymond Cavalieri of ForeverWatch.com as “A Film-Lover’s Streaming Home.” The subscription streaming platform “focuses on curated cinema — classics, international gems, and influential titles — served with context that helps viewers understand what they’re watching and why it matters.” ​The New York Times describes Criterion as “gathering the greatest films from around the world,” compiling “a catalog so synonymous with cinematic achievement that it has come to function as a kind of film Hall of Fame.” ​Therefore it is a great honor that the feature documentary Bitter Cane, produced clandestinely in Haiti in the final years of the Duvalier dynasty, has been selected to begin streaming on the Criterion Channel starting May 1. A woman factory worker interviewed in Bitter Cane. ​Directed by...

L’avion a atterri à l’aéroport international Jomo-Kenyatta à 18 h 28, le mardi 28 avril 2026, ramenant au pays les officiers restants après un séjour de près de deux ans en Haïti. Le samedi 25 avril 2026, une cérémonie a été organisée, sans faste ni apparat, à la Direction générale de la Police nationale pour marquer le départ définitif des derniers policiers kényans ayant servi au sein de la Mission multinationale d’appui à la sécurité (MSS) en Haïti. Cette mission avait pour objectif déclaré de rétablir l’ordre et d’endiguer la violence des gangs dans le pays. Faut-il signaler qu’un premier contingent était déjà retourné au bercail au mois de décembre 2025 et un second au mois de mars dernier. En effet, de nombreux ministres et dignitaires du gouvernement de facto d’Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, ainsi que de hauts responsables de la Police et des Forces armées d’Haïti, étaient présents à cette...

Overview: Federal plans to expand immigration detention through warehouse conversions face pushback nationwide, including in states with large Haitian populations such as Florida, New York and New Jersey. Plans by federal immigration officials to convert warehouses into large-scale detention centers are drawing mounting opposition across the United States, including in states home to some of the country’s largest Haitian populations. The Department of Homeland Security has spent more than $1.07 billion acquiring 11 warehouse properties as part of a broader effort to expand detention capacity. The initiative, launched under former Secretary Kristi Noem, aimed to create tens of thousands of additional beds for detainees. But since Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin took office, the agency has paused new purchases and is reviewing existing contracts. The pushback has been especially significant in states where Haitian communities are deeply rooted and closely watching immigration enforcement policies that disproportionately affect them. New Jersey:...
