The Architects of Chaos

In Haiti, chaos is not a simple consequence of events, but a carefully crafted product of actors whose decisions—or lack thereof—worsen the crisis every day. At the head of this orchestration of failures is the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT), led by architect Leslie Voltaire since October 2024. Presented as a temporary solution to get Haïti out of its impasse, the CPT quickly proved ineffective and incapable of responding to the country’s urgent challenges.

A successful eighth outing for the Wednesday of the Monferrier Dorval chair

On Wednesday, October 24, 2024, in the premises of the Office of Citizen Protection, on the road to Bourdon, the 8th Wednesday outing of the Monferrier Dorval chair took place. As a reminder, the Wednesdays of the chair are one of the initiatives taken within the framework of the Monferrier Dorval chair of constitutional law, established on March 12 by the Council of the State University of Haïti (UEH). The rector, Mr. Fritz Deshommes, is the technical director. Professor Henri Marge Dorléans, former Minister of Justice, is the scientific director, and the dean of the Faculty of Law and Economics, Me Eugène Pierre Louis, holds the position of both technical and scientific vice-president. It should also be noted that the two main objectives of the chair are, on the one hand, to promote the memory of Professor Dorval, then President of the Bar Association, who was cowardly assassinated in front of his house, near that of the presidential couple at the time, on August 20, 2020. On the other hand, it is about promoting the work he had undertaken in the country, as a professor of constitutional law, around the need to make a constitutional change to facilitate effective governance and better institutional management of Haiti.

Haïti / Ganthier: I Let You In, an Ode to Modern Relationships by Igens VIL

The Meaning of the Essence of Love The commune of President Boniface Alexandre and Martial CELESTIN produces a talented artist. Yes, Ganthier stands out as one of its best representatives on the international scene. "I Let You In" is a title that lays bare the complexity of heterogeneous relationships around the world. This opus, both provocative and touching, awakens the mind, body and soul. I am deeply moved by the way in which the artist Igens VIL, a true emblematic figure of Ganthier, evokes intense emotions and provokes reflection on the issues of contemporary romantic relationships. Each verse of this composition, co-written with Dayvin Kaponda, contains profound messages about tolerance towards others, our aspirations and ambitions, the true foundations of authentic love. It is the very essence of life. Despite the tumults of daily life and the inevitable misunderstandings in human relationships, he reminds us that “in my life, there is always a me; I have tried everything. Even if it means taking a step back, I am ready to do it. And if it means, I will get down on my knees”. The singer, who spent a large part of his adolescence in Galette-Chambon, the first communal section of the commune of Ganthier, is now active in the French music industry. He eloquently and skillfully addresses the complex triangle of sentimental relationships: sacrifice, tolerance and communication. This remarkable work deserves to be heard everywhere; it inspires faith, reflection and action. Gensbe, known as Igens VIL, deserves awards for this song. Guitarist, singer, composer and academic in France, he embodies a rare mix of talents for a young Haitian engaged in these demanding fields that require time, sacrifice and a lot of energy. Today, Gensbe is at his peak and never gives up. More songs are in the works for you, dear listeners. Subscribe to Gensbe on YouTube and other platforms. He is without a doubt one of the best Haitian artists among the big international names. I’ll let you in.

Haiti: Is buying votes to be elected a form of corruption or political strategy?

The democratic political system requires the active participation of citizens in the management of the city. Everyone freely expresses their opinion for harmonious management of society. Generally the choices are made from the organization of free and honest elections. However, sometimes candidates use diverted means to achieve their ends. Can we consider this act as a form of corruption or a political strategy? In a democratic society, the organization of elections at regular intervals is an imperative. Managers are generally elected by the majority of voters, which ensures them a certain legitimacy within the framework of government management. Today, more and more, around the world, the elections are controlled by economic power. This sector gives a lot of silver to candidates who often buy the media services in order to have certain visibility through mass communication means (radio, VAT, Internet, etc.) and do without constraints Many very expensive trips, which require enormous capital. By the way, the possibility that a candidate with low financial means of being elected is increasingly reduced in Western societies. Despite everything, it is illegal to buy the votes of the voters. It is an act of corruption that should lead to criminal sanctions. No society can tolerate this practice which could hamper the degeneration of the democratic system and, consequently, of the electorate system. Civil society and human rights organizations must be vigilant in order to avoid these harmful drifts in the democratic system. In fact, the temptation to bribe the voters in order to access elective positions must be denounced as an act of corruption. In doing so, will lead to political dissenting between duty, and law, because citizens are called upon to freely choose the leaders of the city. Ultimately, the organization of the elections must be the fruit of consensus between the various groups of the social system. Managers must be chosen according to their ability to provide adequate answers to the problems of the company. They can still benefit from powerful financial means from other partners. But, giving voters directly money is a condemnable detective act which reduces the autonomy of action and thinking of voters. In this sense, the latter’s vote must reflect the desire to choose or build a fair, fair and favorable company.
