    Les gangs affrontent les groupes d’auto défense

    L’implication des groupes d’auto défense apporte une nouvelle dimension dans la crise sécuritaire en Haïti.
    Depuis une semaine de nombreux résidents de la zone métropolitaine de Port-au-Prince refusent de fuir devant les gangs.

    Les résidents de Solino, bidonville de Delmas, ont été les premiers à se révolter. La semaine écoulée les résidents de Canapé Vert et de Turgeau ont repoussé un assaut du gang de Village de Dieu.

    Depuis Samedi les résidents de Savanne Pistache et de Carrefour feuilles opposent une résistance héroïque à une nouvelle offensive de Village de Dieu.

    D’un autre coté les bandits lancent des représailles suite à l’opération dénommée Bois Calé.
    A Fort Jacques au moins 3 personnes ont été tuées lors d’une contre-offensive des bandits de Kraze Baryè.
    À Fermathe une dizaine de personnes ont été tuées.

    En province notamment à Liancourt des groupes d’auto défense s’efforcent de repousser les bandits trop entreprenants.

    A Chandelle, quartier de Liancourt et à Savien, 3 eme section communale de Petite Rivière, les habitants affichent une ferme détermination. Des affrontements ont eu lieu hier.
    Au moins deux membres du groupe d’auto défense de Chandelle ont été tués hier.

    Les bandits ne sont plus confortables dans leurs exactions. Ils savent que les citoyens n’entendent plus se laisser faire.

  • Le gouvernement veut la sécurité sans la justice expéditive

    Le gouvernement veut la sécurité sans la justice expéditive

    Les autorités haïtiennes plaident pour l’arrêt des lynchages et supplices du collier notamment dans la région métropolitaine de Port-au-Prince.
    La ministre de la justice, appelle à la fin des exécutions sommaires. Elle insiste sur la nécessité d’une bonne collaboration entre les citoyens et les forces de l’ordre. Les présumés criminels doivent être remis aux forces de l’ordre.

    Il faut un apaisement, plaide Mme Milcé. C’est également l’avis du chef du gouvernement.
    Dans son dernier adresse à la nation, le Premier Ministre, M. Ariel Henry, avait appelé les haïtiens à garder leur calme.
    « Tèt frèt », en créole avait martelé le Premier Ministre qui continue d’espérer une aide de la communauté internationale.

    La ministre de la justice espère toujours 6 mois après la demande formelle.
    Interrogée pour savoir si le gouvernement est dans l’attente d’une intervention de militaires étrangers, la ministre de la justice a nuancé « nous sommes toujours demandeurs ».

    Incapable de résoudre le défi sécuritaire, le gouvernement est dans l’obligation d’appeler à l’arrêt de la justice expéditive, une sorte d’épée de Damoclès.

    La crise sécuritaire risque de s’enliser en raison des représailles des bandits susceptibles de provoquer un cycle infernal.

  • L’Ambassade des États-Unis célèbre la Journée mondiale de la liberté de la presse 

    L’Ambassade des États-Unis célèbre la Journée mondiale de la liberté de la presse 

    En prélude à la célébration de la Journée mondiale de la liberté de la presse, (le 3 mai), l’Ambassade des Etats-Unis a accueilli 24 boursiers journalistes, dans ses locaux à Tabarre, le vendredi 28 avril 2023.

    Ces journalistes ont récemment participé à un programme de formation en deux parties, parrainé par la Section des Affaires Publiques en collaboration avec le Service Créole de la Voix de l’Amérique. Le premier séminaire intitulé : « Comment enquêter et approfondir les grands titres » a eu lieu du 13 au 21 août 2022, tandis que le second intitulé « Gestion des médias » s’est tenu du 25 février au 4 mars 2023.

    Dans ses propos de circonstances, le Chargé d’Affaires des Etats-Unis en Haïti, Monsieur Eric W. Stromayer, a souligné l’importance d’une presse libre pour informer les citoyens et tenir les gouvernements responsables.

    Selon M. Stromayer, « les mauvais acteurs cherchent à tromper le public pour leur profit personnel. Ils incitent au mécontentement, à la méfiance et même à la violence. Le meilleur et le seul vaccin contre leur poison est un journalisme précis et impartial ».

    Lors d’une discussion avec l’attachée de presse de l’ambassade, Mme Kathryn Edwards, les journalistes ont fait un bref compte rendu de ce qu’ils ont appris lors de leur récente formation à Washington, parrainée par l’Ambassade des États-Unis, et des perspectives que cette opportunité leur offre dans leur carrière dans les médias. 

    La ministre de la Culture et de la Communication Emmelie Prophète Milcé a affirmé lors de son intervention que les journalistes peuvent librement exercer leur profession en Haïti. Elle reconnait toutefois que la Presse en Haïti fait face à certaines contraintes notamment économiques à cause de la multiplicité des médias. La Ministre Prophète-Milcé en a profité pour remercier l’Ambassade américaine en Haïti d’avoir organisé cette session à l’intention des journalistes. Ces formations ont le mérite de permettre aux journalistes d’avoir une perspective différente du métier, de sa noblesse et surtout rappelle à la Presse sa responsabilité de publier des contenus crédibles.

    M. Jean Jul Desauguste, journaliste à Radio Télé Métropole, a indiqué que, « Grâce à ces extraordinaires séances d’échanges avec des journalistes expérimentées de la Presse américaine tels : Mister Teen, Sandra Dominique, Jacquelin Bélizaire, Jean Michel Mathurin, Ethan Bruce, Fred Cayimite, Chris Andino, Tom Detzel, qui ont developé les sujets journalistiques les plus récurrents et actuels, nous avons appris que les travailleurs de presse, ont toujours besoin de retourner aux principes de base du métier pour mieux faire leur travail et participer à la construction et au développement de leur pays ».

    Mme. Peguy Bartoli, Administratrice-adjointe à Radio Télévision 2000, a remercié le Bureau des Affaires Publiques pour avoir permis aux participants d’élargir leurs horizons et de parfaire leurs connaissances sur le plan de Management des Médias en Haiti en vue de mieux réaliser leur travail ».  « La formation de la VOA financée par l’Ambassade des Etats-Unis, a été un succès pour nous tous, elle nous ouvre des portes sur le plan professionnel puisque nous ignorions antérieurement certains concepts », dit-elle.

    L’ambassade des États-Unis salue particulièrement le courage de tous ces journalistes, blogueurs et citoyens qui ont sacrifié leur vie, leur bien-être ou leur liberté afin que d’autres puissent connaître la vérité. Et nous honorons le rôle des médias libres et indépendants dans la construction de démocraties durables et de sociétés ouvertes et saines.

    Rappelons que cette 30ème Journée mondiale de la liberté de la presse sera célébrée cette année autour du thème « Façonner un avenir de droits : La liberté d’expression comme moteur de tous les autres droits de l’Homme », un thème qui met l’accent sur la relation entre la presse et la démocratie.

  • Jamaican Student Uses Breadfruit to Create Possible Cure for Acne

    Jamaican Student Uses Breadfruit to Create Possible Cure for Acne

    Jamaica’s Chris-Ann Witter, a Female Youth Ambassador for the Portland 4-H Clubs, has developed what she is hoping will be a new and organic way to treat acne and provide skin enhancement. Witter, 17, is a student at Port Antonio High School, and by using components of Jamaican breadfruit and salicylic acid, has created the Acne and Collagen Crème. She was a participant in the Jamaica 4-H Clubs Portland Parish Achievement Expo 2023, an event that showcased and awarded students from early childhood to tertiary levels from the parish in a variety of competitions and displays.

    Good Read: Hair Growth and Dandruff Prevention Benefits of Jamaican Breadfruit

    Phenomenal discovery while experimenting on her skin

    Witter got the idea for the acne treatment from her desire to find a natural remedy to treat her own experience with eczema. During a speech given at Portland Parish Achievement Day at the College of Agriculture, Science and Education (CASE), where her products were on display, she shared that she discovered through research that breadfruit promotes the production of collagen and elasticity of the skin. It also creates a lipid layer that provides a glowing effect to the skin.

    She noted that breadfruit grows in abundance in Jamaica, but it is not regularly used. By raising recognition of breadfruit as a local, regional, and global crop useful for pharmaceutical and food products, it would benefit the commercial market. The facial cream she developed was given positive feedback the those who sampled it. Witter plans to develop the Acne and Collagen Crème to certifiable standards, which will allow it to enter the local market.

    Jamaica’s next great agricultural engineer

    Witter, who is planning to pursue a career as an agricultural engineer, represents a new generation of individuals who are applying science and innovation to agriculture in order to increase production, enhance resilience, and improve livelihoods. These young people view agriculture as a means to create wealth and a more sustainable future. Agriculture presents considerable opportunities for youth to engage with agriculture to improve national development, she said, noting that young people should become more involved with agriculture and pursue activities related to it as the sector “can be very profitable.”

    Grow Smart, Eat Smart

    Witter supports the “Grow Smart, Eat Smart” campaign of Jamaica’s Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, and she grows bananas, plantain, peppers, and yams, along with other crops in her home garden. She is also involved with raising animals. She joined the Jamaica 4-H Clubs while in primary school and in her role as Female Youth Ambassador plans to focus on promoting the activities of the organization and remaining an active member.

    As April has been designated Farmers Month, Witter wants the stakeholders in the agricultural sector to acknowledge the critical role they play in the lives of all Jamaica’s citizens. She wants farmers to realize that it is an honor for them to provide food for the country and to know that the country is depending on them to sustain its citizens.

  • Life imprisonment for cattle farmer who killed, burnt worker’s body over stolen goat

    Life imprisonment for cattle farmer who killed, burnt worker’s body over stolen goat

    opted to plead guilty and confessed to killing 21-year-old Mahendra Ghanie between October 02 and 06, 2017, at Number 55 Village.

    At the sentencing hearing, the court heard from a probation officer that the “senseless killing” caused unnecessary trauma and grief to the victim’s family.

    Persons from Ramsaywack’s community labelled him as a “bad character” since his behaviour was “unpleasant.”

    Ghanie’s parents and brother gave their victim impact statement in court and expressed their disappointment in the judicial system.

    The victim’s mother recalled how Ramsaywack killed her son and chopped him up “like fish meat” before burying him.

    “Since my son’s death, I’m not feeling good. I always getting high pressure. I really miss my son, Mahendra….Day and night I does cry for my son,” the victim’s father said in his statement.

    Ramsaywack’s attorney, Latchmie Rahamat in her submissions to the court said that her client is the prime candidate for rehabilitation since he teaches other inmates the block-making trade behind bars.

    The defence called three character witnesses, who said that while they don’t condone his actions, begged for a second chance because he could offer more to society.

    The Judge, however, said that she was not impressed with Ramsaywack’s character witnesses since there is nothing in his personal history that excuses his conduct for taking a life. She also highlighted Ramsaywack’s lack of genuine remorse.

    “In my view, a person who treats a fellow human being in the manner in which this accused treated the deceased, ought to be deprived of the right to interact with other members of society, for an indefinite period,” Justice Ramlall said.

    She emphasised that such a heinous crime warrants a life sentence with the possibility of parole after 25 years. The Judge said that Ramsaywack’s decision to take a plea was “tactical” after he heard the evidence before the court.

    Ramsaywack’s 22-year-old son and their worker, Mohanlall Sewsankar were indicted for accessory after the fact.

    However, his son and accomplice were freed of the crime due to insufficient evidence. According to reports, Ghanie left his home on October 2, 2017, after he was contacted by his employer, Ramsaywack.

    Ramsaywack became annoyed after confronting Ghanie about stealing the goat, which Ghanie denied.

    He then hit Ghanie in the head with a piece of wood and beat him to the back of his head and foot, causing him to fall on his face.

    Ghanie was then tied up with a piece of rope and dragged into the yard behind Ramsaywack’s house.

    Ramsaywack and others lit a fire using coconut branches, shells, and kerosene and dumped Ghanie’s body into it. The next day, Ramsaywack noticed that Ghanie’s body was not completely burnt, so he rekindled the fire.

    On October 5, 2017, Ghanie’s mother went to Ramsaywack’s home in search of her son, when she observed the accused acting in a suspicious manner.

    Ramsaywack was arrested that same day and admitted to the crime. He took the Police to the area where some of Ghanie’s bones were found.
