Perhaps Michel Andre should join Reginald Boulos, in the States.
Their moves against President Jovenel Moise have fallen on deaf ears.
The massive majority of Haitians are sick and tired of these games.
Their government has been blocked. International funding cannot be released. Schools cannot open. Foods supplies are diminishing. And people like Reginald Boulos and Michel Andre persist in their stupidity.
We were pleased to the various PNH units transfer the “Headquarters” to Place St. Pierre, effectively neutralizing Michel Andre’s entire plan.
Unfortunately, there have been deadly events, around the country. Burning public markets has always been an Opposition practice, even though it hurts those they claim to support. With each attack, poor people lose their merchandise and have to start again.
Unfortunately, Boulos and Andre are simply doing what comes naturally to a politician in an impoverished 3rd world state. And given the top-to-bottom corruption at every single level, and in every single activity, I suspect any other Haitian would do the same thing: steal the money, enrich themselves, and everyone else can just go away. That’s what happens when your have a primitive country full of corruption: eventually it just seeps in, and every single person tries to get on in the take – or, even worse, just to survive. But while this set up might please a few at the top, the pervasive corruption culture has a frightening effect of keeping a very poor 3rd world country to stay that way – permanently. The government can’t fix this situation (so Haitians should stop asking), and the people generally don’t care either – they’re just looking for the next chance to hustle or steal. If it were possble to fix (unlikely), it would take a complete culture shift including people at the top and the bottom. Sadly this is an intractible problem and way too hard to sort out.
