    Plus de 580 000 haïtiens veulent émigrer aux États Unis

    Plus d’un demi million d’haitiens veulent émigrer aux États Unis. Selon des documents provenant du programme Humanitarian Parole plus de 580 000 haïtiens ont rempli les formalités auprès du service d’immigration des États Unis jusqu’en avril 2023.

    Il s’agit des haïtiens ayant obtenu leur passeports à cette époque. Jusqu’à Mars 2023 la grande majorité des haïtiens, désireux de se rendre aux États Unis, étaient toujours en attente de leur documents de voyage auprès du service d’immigration.

    M. Mésidor spécialiste en question migratoire, attire l’attention sur les modifications apportées au cours des derniers mois sur le processus.
    Il note que c’est la première fois que les règlements sont modifiés rapidement.
    Selon les dernières dispositions la moitié des dossiers sera traité sur la base du principe first in first out et l’autre moitié sur une base aléatoire.

    L’objectif du programme est de réduire le flot de demandeur d’asile sur les points frontaliers. De l’avis de M. Mésidor les services d’immigration ne réalisent pas une sélection des postulants.

    Ce programme dédié au ressortissants de 4 pays, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Cuba et Haïti, a déjà reçu des dossiers de plus de 1 5 millions de personnes. Les spécialistes font remarquer que suivant le quota pour chaque pays les haïtiens pourraient décrocher environ 180 000 visa pour le programme Humanitarian Parole.
    Les violences, les kidnappings et la vie chère poussent de nombreux haïtiens chercher une autre terre d’accueil.

    Dans moins d’un mois le président Joseph Biden devra justifier le programme par devant les legislateurs.

  • Le Premier Ministre promet de rétablir le climat sécuritaire

    Le Premier Ministre promet de rétablir le climat sécuritaire

    Le Premier Ministre haïtien, M. Ariel Henry, se dit confiant que les forces de l’ordre haitiennes peuvent rétablir le climat sécuritaire. Intervenant lors de la clôture du forum sur la sécurité, M. Henry a assuré que des améliorations sensibles seront visibles dans un court délai.

    Sans fournir de détails, le chef de l’exécutif a soutenu que les recommandations des participants au forum du HCT vont dans le même sens que la vision du gouvernement.
    Il explique qu’il n’avait jamais sollicité une intervention militaire étrangère pour réaliser le travail sécuritaire à la place des Haïtiens mais un accompagnement robuste pour les forces de police.

    De plus il est favorable à des débats pour l’intégration des forces armées d’Haïti dans l’effort sécuritaire.
    Le Premier Ministre promet de prendre en compte les recommandations relatives à la restructuration des services de renseignement et à l’augmentation de l’effectif de la PNH.

    En outre il juge nécessaire de mobiliser des ressources financières supplémentaires pour l’acquisition de matériels et d’équipements adéquats.

  • Le  HCT organise un Forum sur la  Sécurité, le Dialogue politique et la bonne Gouvernance 

    Le  HCT organise un Forum sur la  Sécurité, le Dialogue politique et la bonne Gouvernance 

    Le Haut  Conseil   de la Transition  le  HCT  et le Gouvernement ont réalisé ce mardi à l’Hôtel  Karibe, la première Journée du Forum de deux jours sur la  Sécurité, le Dialogue politique et la bonne Gouvernance. 

    La présidente du Haut  Conseil de la Transition Mme Mirlande Manigat  a fait savoir lors de son allocution, que ce Forum débouchera sur une déclaration conjointe sur les étapes à franchir pour la  mise  sur pieds des institutions démocratiques, le rétablissement de la  Sécurité, la réforme constitutionnelle, la formation d’un Conseil  électoral provisoire et l’organisation des Elections pour le renouvellement du personnel politique haïtien.

    Par ailleurs, la constitutionnaliste a pointé du doigt l’indifférence de la Communauté internationale dans la gestion de la crise socio-politique et  sécuritaire que connait actuellement le pays.

     « Il s’agit d’une table ronde de partage d’idées devant inclure même ceux qui sont en désaccord avec les actions gouvernementales », a déclaré l’ancienne candidate à la présidence.

    La présidente d’honneur du RDNP croit, elle aussi, que la solution à la crise doit etre haïtienne .

    Selon elle, ces deux jours devront permettre aux acteurs de produire un cahier de charge qui devrait servir de guide aux dirigeants en vue de lutter efficacement contre le banditisme.

    Ce Forum devrait déboucher sur une déclaration commune de divers acteurs sur les étapes à franchir pour le rétablissement des institutions  démocratiques du pays.

    En réaction, le Groupe de Travail sur la Sécurité GTS déplore que le Haut Conseil de la Transition ait pris la décision d’organiser le Forum sur la Sécurité et la bonne Gouvernance dans le pays sans même en avoir la légitimité nécessaire.

    Selon Ashley Laraque, l’un des membres de cette entité, il serait important pour le Haut Conseil de la Transition d’inviter des personnalités connues du secteur et des institutions universitaires, afin de rendre  plus crédible ce forum.

     L’entrepreneur rappelle que  le GTS demeure un groupe de réflexions apolitique sur les questions de sécurité et de gouvernance qui, depuis près de deux ans, a déjà formulé au gouvernement de nombreuses propositions qui sont restées sans réponse.

    Notons que des militants et représentants d’organisation de base ont tenté de perturber le déroulement du forum.

    Questionnant le bienfondé de cette initiative certains invités disent ne rien attendre de concret du forum.

    Ils estiment par ailleurs que le seul but de la démarche est de justicier l’enveloppe allouée au Haut Conseil de la Transition.

    Il faut souligner qu’aucun délai n’est prévu pour la présentation des propositions qui seront formulées . La finalité  de cette activité est de réduire la violence sur tout le territoire particulièrement celle des groupes armés.

  • Dubai Looks to Jamaica For Partnership on Tourism

    Dubai Looks to Jamaica For Partnership on Tourism

    Jamaica’s Minister of Tourism Edmund Bartlett and the Undersecretary of Foreign Trade and Industry in the Ministry of Economy in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Abdulla Al Saleh, met to discuss ways to facilitate greater cooperation between Jamaica and Dubai in regard to tourism.

    Ministers Seek Areas Of Cooperation

    The ministers met at the UAE Ministry of Economy, the entity that oversees tourism in Dubai, an oil-rich nation in the Middle East. They discussed potential areas in which cooperation in tourism would benefit both countries and their citizens.

    Dubai Looks to Jamaica For Partnership on Tourism

    Collaboration on Tourism to Benefit Both Nations

    As a result of the meeting, Jamaica and Dubai reached the conclusion that they could collaborate in tourism, with Dubai supporting Jamaica in regard to the development of the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) market, and Jamaica providing reciprocal support in terms of resilience and sustainability, expansion of human capital programs, product development, and marketing. He added that Dubai Ports, one of the world’s largest, is seeking partnerships around the globe and that Jamaica would be a good starting point for the initiative.

    UAE Outpost of Jamaica-Based tourism Resilience/Crisis Management Center Discussed

    Also explored during the meeting between Bartlett and Al Saleh was the critical issue of the potential establishment of a UAE outpost of the Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre (GTRCMC), which is based in Jamaica. An outpost in the UAE would be the GTRCMC’s latest satellite location; it currently has offices in Kenya, Jordan, and Canada.

    The GTRCMC’s mission is to help with the preparedness, management, and recovery of tourism destinations from crises and disruptions that have an impact on tourism and endanger global economies and livelihoods. It operates in an international context characterized by new challenges and opportunities to improve tourism destinations and ensure the sustainability of global tourism.

    Additional Discussions Slated For Later In 2023

    Further discussions will occur to formalize the discussed arrangements via a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) when Jamaica and Dubai join other nations at the 28th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 28) from November 30 through December 12, 2023, in the UAE.

  • No Time To Talk Music, These Jamaican Entertainers Open Up About Domestic Violence & Spousal Abuse

    No Time To Talk Music, These Jamaican Entertainers Open Up About Domestic Violence & Spousal Abuse

    An unfiltered conversation about the rising incidences of domestic violence within Jamaican communities was the central focus at the celebration of life for Ricky Trooper’s daughter Brianna McKoy on Saturday, May 13.

    An understandably emotional Trooper cried numerous times during the broadcast hosted by Garfield “Chin” Bourne.

    Rivalry Aside for An Important Cause

    “I wanted to do something special for Ricky Trooper, despite our rivalry. It’s amazing how The Creator brings us together in mysterious ways,” says Chin. “Both Ricky Trooper and I saw a huge value in highlighting his daughter’s death. I am sure it has helped others cope with the pain of their situations.”

    Multiple Perspectives on Domestic Violence

    Sound Chat Radio expanded on Ricky Trooper’s circumstances with a curated discussion on domestic violence. Panelists included New York State Senator Kevin Parker, Leslie Jones Esq., Sharon Brown and Dr. Marie Labranche. The diverse guest line up brought their range of legislative, legal, human resources and family therapy expertise to the passionate conversation, respectively.

    Law That Protects Survivors of Domestic Violence

    In a key moment, Senator Kevin Parker discussed the New York State Phoenix Act, a recently passed Domestic Violence bill he sponsored. Namely, the bill defines Coercive Control as a felony offense, as well as extends the statute of limitations for prosecuting intimate partner violence. The New York State Phoenix Act is one of 10 bills passed by New York State Senators to improve protections for survivors of domestic, sexual violence in wake of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

    “I hope to change the way people view sound system culture and its key players,” says Chin. “It’s critical that we get involved in the issues that plague our communities, with Domestic Violence being a fight we must join.”

    The impassioned night closed with a balloon release, which again brought Ricky Trooper to tears. The selector was overwhelmed by the memorial and the many sounds, fans, community members and special guests, which also included Nesbeth and QQ.

  • Hunt continues for ‘Smallie’; woman, boat captain remain in custody

    Hunt continues for ‘Smallie’; woman, boat captain remain in custody

    well-planned escape, law enforcement officials are continuing their search for notorious convicted killer and death row inmate, Mark Royden Williams.

    In a brief update on Wednesday, the Guyana Police Force Corporate Communications Unit said that the female, who visited Williams before his escape and the captain of the boat he used to flee, remain in Police custody.

    Investigators also questioned two prison officers who were in charge of Williams at the time of his escape.

    Williams called ‘Smallie’, in a daring daylight ordeal and assisted by men with high-powered weapons, escaped from the Mazaruni Prison on May 19. This is the country’s maximum security penitentiary.

    A day later, the GPF announced a $10 million reward for any information that can lead to Williams’ arrest.

    The convicted mass murderer escaped while being escorted back from a visit with the aid of heavily armed accomplices in a speedboat. The escort party was fired upon with AK-47 automatic rifles by men inside the boat alongside the Mazaruni River.

    The boat and its occupants, including Williams, proceeded upstream, past Itaballi landing, while Prison guards and Police in support undertook pursuit.

    Williams was convicted of murders stemming from the Bartica massacre in 2008, when he, along with other gunmen, ambushed and killed twelve (12) persons, including three (3) policemen. Additionally, he had been sentenced to death in September last year over the killing on January 23rd, 2008, of Guyana Defence Force member Corporal Ivor Williams.

    Royden Williams had previously escaped from the Camp Street Prison on July 09, 2017, but was recaptured on October 10, 2017, on the Weldaad Public Road, West Coast Berbice.

    They were going to do a photoshoot for his son’s birthday.

    Police said after the family arrived at the photo studio, Atthon parked and went to purchase some beverages for his family.

    While he was returning, Police said he was approached by two men, one of whom was armed with a gun.

    The armed suspect then shot the victim and they both escaped.

    Atthon was taken to the Woodlands Hospital and was later transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital. His condition is listed as stable.

  • Mahdia tragedy: Mother of girl in ICU clings to hope, finding comfort in faith

    Mahdia tragedy: Mother of girl in ICU clings to hope, finding comfort in faith

    Lazeena@newsroom.gy

    Thirteen-year-old Sherana Daniels of Micobie, Region Eight, is currently in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Georgetown Public Hospital after suffering injuries in the devastating fire at the Mahdia Secondary School female dormitory on Sunday night.

    She is among 12 girls who are still patients there; seven others have since been discharged.

    Sherana and her sister Trishana, 16, and stepbrother David, 12, are enrolled at the school and would only return home at the end of the school term. But on Sunday, mere hours before the inferno, Sherana called her mother, saying she wasn’t well. Her mother, Cleste Samuels, promised to collect her the next day.

    Then, Mrs Samuels was told there was a fire at the school. She immediately tried contacting persons in the area to find out where the girls were but most people did not know.

    At some point, Trishana contacted her mother using a teacher’s phone and told her that she was alive but couldn’t find Sherana.

    It was previously reported that Sherana died in the fire and she was counted as the 20th victim.

    The fire has destroyed the entire female dorms of the Mahdia Secondary School in Region Eight

    “I couldn’t believe that because it was just the afternoon [Sunday] I talk to her. She told me she was getting a fever.

    “I tell she, ‘Baby I will come for you tomorrow [Monday].’

    “I am a sweeper cleaner for Micobie; I was going to get my little salary and I tell she, ‘I will come for you and bring you home.’ It hurt me because I told her that I going and collect her to bring her home. It’s very hurtful.”

    Two phone calls later, the mother received relatively good news – Sherana was alive. Doctors managed to resuscitate her and so, the death toll from the fire reduced to 19.

    Anxiety was still there though, not knowing the extent of her injuries. She was told her daughter was in a “serious” condition and had to be taken to Georgetown.

    Her other daughter was sent to the Mahdia district hospital and is receiving treatment.

    “I go yesterday midday to her, I touch her and I told her, ‘Mommy come for you. God will protect you…I want you to go home with me when I am going, I am not going home until you get better’.”

    Mrs Samuels said that her children were raised in a religious household and they were encouraged to take every educational opportunity. She did not anticipate such a tragedy could happen at the school.

    “I does always send them and let them spend out their term. I does see some people children come home and it does hurt me to see their children at home and my children at school until school closes [but] I does tell them I sending you to school to learn something for yourselves and now this is what happen,” the distraught mother told the News Room.

    The aftermath of the horrific fire at Mahdia

    The devastating fire started after 23:00 hrs on Sunday night and continued into the wee hours of Monday morning. Authorities have confirmed that 18 girls and one boy died in the fire. The girls were students while the boy, 5, was the son of the caretakers of the dormitory. Investigators also found that the fire was maliciously set by another student.

    The school housed girls from Mahdia, Campbelltown, Micobie, El Paso and several other villages in the North Pakaraimas in Region Eight.
