AP NEW YORK — Haitian-American hip hop star and humanitarian activist Wyclef Jean will announce his bid for his native country’s presidency this week, CNN reported on Tuesday.
Wyclef, whose interest in the post has been rumored in recent weeks, will make the announcement on CNN’s “Larry King Live” show on Thursday, the cable network said quoting a source close to the recording artist.
Current President Rene Preval is barred by the constitution from seeking a new term in the elections scheduled for November 28.
The quake-hit Caribbean nation is struggling to emerge from the massive temblor on January 12 that killed 250,000 people and has left 1.5 million homeless.
Preval’s mandate expires in February 2011, but several parties have accused him of seeking to stay in office, adding political tensions to the economic and humanitarian troubles afflicting the impoverished country.
Jean, who lives in New York, is founder of the humanitarian Yele Haiti Foundation and has played a prominent role in securing aid after the earthquake leveled much of the capital city Port-au-Prince.
Widespread allegations of financial mismanagement were leveled at the organization during the crisis.
The quake caused a huge humanitarian disaster in the poorest country in the Americas.
Poukisa tout grimas sa yo?
Mwen deja soufle Lanbi rasanbleman an pou Larevolisyon an Ayiti.
zAFE Wycleff Jean an, se yon distraksyon pou magouye yo kapab detounen atansyon nou sou sa yo ta vle fe a.Malerezman, nou two madre eke nou deklare byen fo ke nou pa p pran na kraponnaj kelkeswa koule akte yo.
Ki radot Wycleff Jean ak Michel Matelly sa a? Ki radot Yvon Neptune ak Anacassis sa a? Ki Lobey Jacques Edouard Alexis sa a?
Mezanmi, komanse mare ren nou sere. Paske tren revolisyon pou Libete-Pwosperite ak Lape a deja demare, Pesonn, Pesonn pa kapab fe l kanpe nan wout.Cha blende Minustah yo pap ka we la alevwa pou ti manchet ak ti bout revolve chime yo. Kominote Entenasyonal la gen foli gaspye lajan nan ovetay, ebyen, chwal pou wa, SAvann pou wa, ya demele get yo.
Komsi, yo fe komandan Raymond Kelley desan Potoprens pou al pale avek Preval, Denis ak Mario Andresol sou zafe dwog ak ensekirite.Bon tekwe se nrg sa yo menm k ap ponpe dwog ak kreye ensekirite nan peyi a? Bon, si blan Merikaen te vle, tekwe nan yon sel ti bout jounen Yo t ap arete Preval, Denis ak Mario epi peyi a t ap pran men li.
Poukisa Meriken pa sispann konsamasyon dwog la lakay li? Paske, se dola vet la ki monnen komes sa a.Gouvenman preval sa a, si nou pa mache pran neg sa yo youn pa youn ebyen n ap pran tan anko pou nou set oblije manche yon dekoukay ki va pi dyanm pase dechoukay Rochambeau te jwenn nan men esklav yo an 1803-1804 la.
Nou deja nan poto nou pa dwe pe kouto. Nou dwe leve kanpe epi mache pran tout asasen ak kriminel k ap simen dey nan peyi a pou Preval ak Rakete milite Minustah yo epi lemond antye pral kouri pote nou sekou kan menm.Nou mache pran anpremye tout kandida ki al enskri nan KEP a.Paske, yo se kolabo k ap souse san pe la epi yo bezwen ofisyalize aktivite kriminel yo pou mache wete lavi tout moun ki pa dako akvek plan Jenosid pep Ayisyen an.
Nou dwe fe dezobeyisans sivil nan tout bagay. Pa peye taks jouskaske Preval kite pouvwa a.Pa patisipe nan okenn brigandaj eleksyon Chanpwel anba banye Preval Minustah.Pa okipe Milet ki soti pou voye pye nan figi pep Ayisyen an. Sele bourik nou, men pa monte l. Sa vle di, klewonnen ke nou vle eleksyon, men nou pap patisipe nan okenn eleksyon avek Preval ak KEP kinad
pe sa a.
Si nou rete dousman, Inite pral manje tout moun ki nan opozisyon an, daye, men yo komanse vide ate neg vanyan tankou Ronald Joseph, militan politik. Se yon avetisman byen kle ke Preval ak asosye li yo voye pou nou. Nou pa dwe kite pou san pitit pep la ap kontinye koule nan move kondisyon konsa. Nou dwe Pann tout moun tret yo nan mitan nou, menm jan konbatan pou libete nan Etazini te fe sam le yo ta p goumen pou Endepandans yo.
Piga nou antere Ronald Joseph jouktan Preval kite pouvwa a. Fe anpil foto,Ronald Joseph ak Robert Marcellot epi manche manifestasyon manch long nan dengonn Preval ak vole grame yo ki konprann ke Ayiti se yon kabrit san met.
Monte brigad epi touye tout asasen yo tout kote nan peyi a. Nou konnen yo two byen pou nou kite yo ap kontinye masakre nou lachman konsa.Mache pran tout chef gang yo depi nan pale nasyonal pou rive nan biwo kazek yo. Nou konnen yo mezanmi. Pa fe lach devan lanmo konsa. Monte moto menm jan ak yo,kouri machin menm jan ak yo,mete geriya sou pye tribo babo, mete peyi a tet anba, ba yo okipasyon nan atrave tout peyi a.
Wyclef has not presented to me a person edified in International Policy. I cannot understand why Wyclef is thinks he can win; in my opinion he has not demonstrated any skills that would qualify him as a candidate for Caribbean politics.
i maybe wrong, but I dont think so. He is not qualified to create a strong educational and civil service policy geared towards sovreignty.
Haiti needs an entire infrastructure restructuring and I think it takes more than a musician who dreams of political leadership to run a nation. It takes a nation driven by political leadership to create sovreignty with economic, and educational prosperity.
