Après l’échec du troisième round des négociations les acteurs politiques haïtiens entrent dans une phase d’expectative. La semaine écoulée n’a pas permis d’avancer, l’opposition ayant choisi de bloquer les discussions sur la démission du Premier Ministre.
Le chef de file du parti EDE, M. Claude Joseph, laisse entendre qu’il n’y a d’autres points à l’ordre du jour que la démission du Chef de l’exécutif.
De son côté le Premier Ministre M. Ariel Henry, est disposé à discuter autour des intérêts supérieurs de la nation.
On peut demander ma démission la réalité est autre chose.
Nous espérons un dépassement pour se concentrer sur les intérêts réels de la nation, a martelé le Premier Ministre Haïtien M. Ariel Henry, qui semble faire peu de cas des revendications de l’opposition.
Alors que les négociations en présentiel n’ont rien donné, les protagonistes devraient, en virtuel, reprendre les discussions à partir du 12 septembre 2023.

Les dirigeants politiques haïtiens constituent le véritable problème d’Haïti, assure le spécialiste en relation internationale, M. Pierre Antoine Louis, qui renvoie dos à dos les protagonistes.
Pour lui les haïtiens, qui se battent pour le pouvoir, constituent l’obstacle à un accord politique.
Analysant les revendications de démission du Premier Ministre, le spécialiste juge que la communauté internationale n’est pas assez naïf pour croire que M. Ariel Henry doit le problème d’Haiti.
À son avis un départ de M. Henry provoquerait une grave détérioration de la crise.
On n’aime pas assez le pays, commente M. Louis regrettant l’absence de sursaut patriotique.
Commentant l’échec du troisième round des négociations sous les auspices de la Caricom, M. Louis se désole de l’insouciance des opposants et des gouvernements.
Des millions d’haitiens souffrent dans leur chair parce qu’il y a un petit groupe d’élite qui refusent de trouver une entente, insiste t-il.
À ses yeux l’incapacité des acteurs haïtiens à trouver un consensus peut influencer la réunion du conseil de sécurité de l’ONU du 15 septembre.
Il croit que la communauté internationale peut soit intervenir sans lien avec le gouvernement pour sauver la population soit laisser pourrir la situation jusqu’à une guerre civile. LLM / radio Métropole Haïti

Les haïtiens auront fort à faire à Kingston (Jamaïque) demain mardi 12 septembre 2023 en ligue A des nations de la Concacaf.
Haïti avait fait nul 0-0 vendredi dernier face à Cuba lors de la première rencontre.
Des joueurs ont évoqué le mauvais état de la pelouse qui a constitué un handicap.
Le sélectionneur Gabriel Calderon Pelegrino s’est dit déçu de la défaite estimant que ses joueurs ont créé le danger mais ont été inefficaces devant les buts.
Les haïtiens dominateurs ont été maladroits devant les buts cubains à l’image de Mondy Prunier.
Calderon, ne peut compter sur Nazon et Pierrot, qui n’ont pu répondre à la convocation.
Pour autant le coach a exprimé sa satisfaction pour la solidarité de ses joueurs sans ballon. Face à la Jamaïque ce sera un grand défi pour les haïtiens.
Après une victoire 1-0 face au Honduras, les reggae boys voudront remporter une deuxième victoire pour prendre une option sur la qualification pour les quart de finale.

The Jamaican Howard University Affinity Network (JHUAN) announced today the award of $80,000 in scholarships to 20 students of Jamaican heritage attending Howard University. The twenty scholarship awardees will be recognized at the organization’s annual fundraising event, HUes of Blue, on Saturday, 16 September 2023. The event will be hosted by The Honorable Audrey E. Marks, the Jamaican Ambassador to the United States who is a leading advocate of the program since its inception.
Supporting Jamaican Students Attending Howard University
JHUAN was birthed from the collaborative vision of Howard University’s 17th President, Dr. Wayne A. I. Frederick, and The Honorable Audrey E. Marks, who both sought to enhance support for Jamaican students. Entrusted with this mission, they appointed founding Chairman, Don Christian, to spearhead an organization dedicated to serving the Jamaican student community at Howard University. This encompassed offering scholarships, mentorship, and career development. As the inaugural affinity group of its kind at Howard University, JHUAN has set a precedent, building on a legacy spanning over a century of Jamaican students attending Howard. The primary intent of these scholarships is to bolster the trajectory of Jamaican students at Howard, granting them broader access and opportunities.

“As an alumnus who has benefited greatly from Howard University, it is important that we look for ways to support our academic institutions and pay it forward,” said, JHUAN President and Howard Board of Trustee Member, Don Christian. “As JHUAN continues to grow its financial support and broaden its impact, I am honored as a Howard alumnus to support our Jamaican students who have navigated significant challenges to be able to pursue their studies at Howard.”
$254,000 in Scholarship Funds in 5 Years
Since the launch of the scholarship program in 2018, 64 awards have been distributed totaling $254,000 over five years. In 2023, scholarship applications increased by 50% while fundraising has grown at an average of 36% annually demonstrating the critical need for increased financial support. JHUAN’s goal is to raise significant funds at the upcoming HUes of Blue fundraising event to be able to impact more lives.
The $4,000 scholarships were awarded to Jamaican-born students or those of Jamaican parentage with a GPA of 3.0 or higher and enrolled full-time at Howard University. Scholarship recipients include Aaliyah Anderson (graduate student), Kathy Bedasse (graduate student), Damario Berry (junior), Nazarah Bridgewater (junior), Gabrielle Clarke (sophomore), Sarah Cole (sophomore), Alrick Davis (senior), Yashieka Fearon (senior), Aliyah Hamilton (junior), Paul Jones (sophomore), Lori-Ann Knight (junior), Huonna McCarthy (graduate student), Danielle McIntosh (senior), Ashley Medley (graduate student), Shamona Morris (sophomore), Jade Mullings (sophomore), Tabitha Norton (graduate student), Naila Scott (graduate student), Lori-Lee Stennett (junior), and Amanda Wright (junior).
“Through scholarships, students will be able to ease the financial burden and focus more on academics,” says Joanita Ricketts, JHUAN Scholarship and Mentorship Committee Chair. “In addition to scholarships, JHUAN offers mentorships, workshops and webinars covering areas such as financial literacy and career planning. We hope that early exposure will help students gain a better appreciation for life after college and empower them to be better positioned for career success.”

Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha on Saturday met with farmers from Cane Grove, Mahaica to discuss how the government can assist with expanding agricultural production in the area.
The meeting was held at the Virginia Primary School and saw attendance from all categories of farmers as well as representatives from the Neighborhood Democratic Council (NDC) and the Water Users’ Association.
Many farmers who attended the meeting raised concerns over the way resources are distributed among farmers. The minister was told that only a selected few benefit from resources and inputs that should be distributed to all farmers in the area.
It was further disclosed that the persons who benefited from a recent distribution were registered and that those inputs were collected based on the number of persons who registered.
After listening to the farmers’ concerns, Minister Mustapha said that it is the government’s intention to ensure every farmer benefits from the resources available, adding that it is easier to know what is needed if farmers are registered.
Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha engaging the farmers (Photo: MoA/ September 09, 2023)Minister Mustapha said that there were many internal conflicts among the farmers are urged them to work together so that the agriculture sector in Cane Grove can develop. He told the farmers that the country has seen tremendous growth over the last six months and credited the investments made by the government to those successes.
“If we want this community to develop, we have to cooperate. Agriculture is one of the main activities in this area. Only today, H.E. President Irfaan Ali spoke about the growth in the country over the last six months. From January to June, the country grew by almost 59.5%. In the non-oil sector, we had almost 13% growth. Agriculture is contributing to that growth. The investment we’ve been making has contributed to that.
“We’ll continue to make those allocations because we want the country to be food secure. We have to change the way we are doing things so I will ensure our extension arm works along with you to empower you to produce more. I want all the farmers to register with the ministry so we know what resources are needed and how many farmers need inputs to improve their production.,” he explained.
Minister Mustapha also said that farmers will continue to benefit from inputs to support their production. He noted that services like artificial insemination as well as access to quality breeding stock will also be made available to farmers from Cane Grove. He also told farmers who requested drainage works to be done, that the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority will work along with the Water Users Association to have the blocked canals cleared and maintained.
“Rest assured, we will continue to work along with you. I just said that for the livestock farmers, we can assist with AI, breeding animals, and poultry. I can make a commitment here that each swine farmer in Cane Grove will receive a pair of swine to increase their flock. Likewise, we can work with the cash crop farmers to make better planting materials available. We are also working to see how we can get access to cheaper inputs like fertilizers and chemicals. As it relates to markets, we have the New GMC and we can work with you to get markets for your produce with better prices. I want to make a commitment; that we will work with the most vulnerable set in the community to start the Black Giant programme. For those canals that need cleaning, I’ll ask the NDIA to work along with the Water Users. Those persons in Cane Grove who have machines will be given small contracts to clean those canals then awards will be given to continue manual cleaning. The three pumps that you spoke about, I just spoke to the REO and told him to ensure the pumps are operable,” the minister added.
The minister also told farmers that the government has embarked on new areas of production as part of its efforts to lower the food import bill and ensure Guyana remains food secure. He encouraged them to explore producing new crops that attract high market value both locally and regionally.
“We are trying to expand on the traditional crops, but at the same time, we are embarking on new things. In two years from now, Guyana will produce all the corn and soya needed for the livestock sector. Every year, we usually import US$60 million worth of corn and soya. Now, we are planting corn and soya in the Tacama Savannah. We build silos there with the capacity to store 9,000 tons. We did the road and we are in the process of constructing a wharf. We started cultivating high-valued crops and are now supplying the hospitality industry. These are areas that you have to get involved in,” Minister Mustapha said.
Teams from the ministry are expected to return to the area in the coming week to continue farmers’ registration and verification exercises as well as to assess the clogged canals so that drainage works can commence.
Minister Mustapha was accompanied by several programme heads from within the ministry. (Press release from the Ministry of Agriculture)
