Haiti - Petit-Goâve : Position and proposals of the League of Pastors on the crisis 22/02/2019 09:57:28
Excerpts from the note of Pastors of Petit-Goâve : "It is with great sadness that the League of Pastors of Petit-Goâve notes the collapse of Haiti : the people are starving; there is no water, the hospitals are dysfunctional; life is expensive ; the school can not function normally; there is no electricity; the country's economy is deteriorating; violence is being waged against lives and property, both public and private, and insecurity is in full swing. The League of Pastors of Petit-Goâve condemns, with all its strength, the acts of violence perpetrated throughout the country and recognizes that the people have the right to demonstrate in accordance with the Constitution in order to demand respect for their rights to nutrition, health and education. [...] The League of Pastors of Petit-Goave learns, also with amazement, that many people have been shot dead on the national territory. It takes the opportunity to present her sympathies to the victims of the demonstration on February 13 in Petit-Goâve https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-26927-haiti-flash-udmo-agents-shoot-at-the-crowd-in-petit-goave-at-least-15-wounded.html while the Population claimed its fundamental rights. The League finally notes that the fundamental problem of the Haitian people is and remains a problem of unity and solidarity. The absence of these two key elements constitutes an obstacle to the development of Haiti. Therefore, the League of Pastors of Petit-Goave makes the following proposals : 1) All the vital forces of the country must unite and organize an inclusive national dialogue with a view to finding a "Modus operandi" capable of taking the country out of the abyss; 2) Justice must adopt measures against criminals and against all those involved in the squandering of State funds including PetroCaribe funds that could have been used to improve the situation of the Haitian people. The Bible says : 'Justice raises a Nation' ; 3) Immediate steps must be taken to lower the prices of basic necessities. The people can no longer; 4) The Haitian state must boost national production, particularly agricultural production, so that the people can feed themselves. In this sense, the League hopes that the friendly countries of Haiti, the USA, Canada, France and China with modern agricultural techniques will help Haiti in this area. Thus, the people will consume what they produce and cultivate what they consume [...]" HL / HaitiLibre / Guyto Mathieu (Correspondant Petit-Goâve)
