Ex-premier could outstrip Wyclef in Haiti election-Added COMMENTARY By Haitian-Truth

By JONATHAN M. KATZ (AP) – 3 hours ago

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Another potential powerhouse emerged Wednesday in the race for Haiti’s presidency as the ruling party nominated ousted ex-Prime Minister Jacques-Edouard Alexis to lead the earthquake-ravaged nation.

The backing of President Rene Preval’s newly formed Unity party could push the former premier’s prospects ahead of the international star power of Haitian-born, Brooklyn-raised singer Wyclef Jean.

Alexis was nominated late Tuesday at a Unity meeting, presidential Chief of Staff Fritz Longchamp told The Associated Press.

The two candidates were pictured side-by-side on the front page of Port-au-Prince’s Le Nouvelliste newspaper the next day under the headline, “Alexis designated, Wyclef decided.” Jean says he will declare his candidacy Thursday night in an English-language interview from Haiti broadcast primarily in the United States.

The winner of the Nov. 28 election will be faced with monumental tasks including rebuilding a capital destroyed by the magnitude-7 earthquake and dealing with an estimated 1.6 million homeless.

Before Jean’s impending announcement, first reported Tuesday by AP, political observers in Haiti were most closely watching to see who would be chosen to carry the standard of the president’s party.

Preval, who is barred by the constitution from running, created Unity last year. It quickly absorbed Cabinet ministers, the presidents of both parliamentary chambers and almost half the members of the lower house with promises of helping to finance their upcoming campaigns.

Alexis was brought on in 2006 as Preval’s No. 2 and head of government, tasked with uniting a fractious Cabinet after the ouster of former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and two years of gang warfare under a U.S.-backed interim government.

Alexis was ousted by the Senate in April 2008 as Port-au-Prince melted down in a week of food riots that killed at least seven people including a U.N. police officer. He has since been largely invisible in Haiti, popping up now and then at speaking engagements in the United States.

Candidates have until Saturday to register. Scores are expected to seek the presidency, from small-town mayors and businessmen to other former heads of government.

All must be approved by an eight-member, presidentially approved electoral council that will verify constitutional requirements including having resided in Haiti for five consecutive years leading up to the election and never having held foreign citizenship.

COMMENT: HAITIAN-TRUTH.ORG

Alexis is a  criminal. He was a criminal, during his first term as Prime Minister under Aristide. He was a criminal when he was Minister of Education, a time in which he stole a lot of money provided by Canada for schools. He then took this stolen money and bought two expensive homes in Canada – with the stolen Canadian government money.

The Canadian government then refused him a visa unless he explained how he bought the homes.

He stole a lot when he was Prime Minister under Preval and was then fired for incompetence, as a smoke screen to cover other things.

Then, during the period of Pierre Louis as Prime Minister, Alexis stole 12 armoured SUVs and took over $500,000 per month from the Primature – the Prime Minister’s office and she never said a word.  Michele Pierre-Louis was not only incompetent, she was a criminal with Alexis.

Alexis was heavily involved with the cocaine trade and still deals in powder.

I am surprised that Preval named him as candidate for his party. Alexis will betray Pre val.  He carries a great deal of resentment  towards Aristide/Preval.

  1. Alexis avek ekip Prosper Avril la, se kanse k ap detwi peyi Dayiti.Bon, pagen moun nan peyi a anko vre. Epi mwen pa kapab konprann poukisa Amerikem soti pou fe nou gwo abi sa a?
    Eske se pou Ameriken evalye karate pepm Ayisyen pou yo we eske se vre nou se moun oubyen nou se bourik Lagonav?
    Nan denye desizyon sa a, lemond antye we epi verifye, ke Preval ak tout konpayel li yo se Malandren sal.

    Koman pou nan dat 12 Avril 2008, Preval ak asosye li yo,peye pou mete deyo anpil milye moun pou krazem brize tout byen yo jwenn sou pasaj yo, pou rive dechouke Alexis kom premye minis ki pi kriminel, pi vole, pi magouye,chef kidnaping, asasen gran jounen,ansyen SD nan Kazen Dessalines, Wa Masisi devan Bawon Sanmdi, Gwo machann dwog, ansanm avek preval, epi jodi a, se menm Preval anko ki deziye Alexis kom kandida pou vin rasanble tout sekte? Komsi, vakabon sa yo pran tout Ayisyen pou enbesil menm jan avek yo ak Moun ki nan kominote entenasyonal Rakete yo?

    Mezanmi, pito Preval te vini avek Charles Suffrard oubyen Acra ki t ap mezire sak diri avek li nan pale nasyonal pandan ke palmante gangste yo t ap imilye Jacques Edouard Alexis nan palman an jou 12 Avril 2008 la?

    Kidonk, moun kominote Entenasyonal sa yo avek Preval pran tout pep la pou fatra? Alexis pa t ka remet anyen kom premye minis,yo voye l ale menmsi yo te kite l nan primati a pou plizye mwa pou li te fin siyen anpil chek zonbi nan mago ke Venezuela te prete peyi a,apresa, pou li te byen antrene ekip madanm Pyelwi a ki te dwe pran larelev pou yo te ka konnen byen le yo resevwa lot lajan, nan ki tiyo pou yo fe li pase pou al chita nan akawont Preval ak asosye li yo.

    Sa vle di, pep la se zonbi, eke depi yon nonm konnen pou ki gwoup blan peyi a ye, ou gen dwa pou w fe sa w vle ladanl,menmsi yo pran poz ke se nan eleksyon anpil milyon dola vet ke zenglendo yo ki swadizan se pep la ki chwazi yo pou dirije li?
    Men, poukisa yo pa kapab fe sa lakay yo tou? Komsi, se yon kondisyon yo tabli pou yo kapab piye peyi a pi byen?

    Alayo malonet? Kidonk se gwoup asasen sa yo menm ki kalifye pou mennen bak peyi a nan touwon san fon an pou yo? Komsi, vakabon sa yo se brav yo brav konsa? Komsi, pa gen pesonn nan peyi a ki gen dwa pou pete lobo pou rive di yo sa se twop ato?

    Gade ki jan ke IRS mete dosye Wycleff Jean deyo paske li te gen pwoblem nan peye taks? Komsi, peyi Dayiti se yon savann, eke Preval avek bann vole yo pa dwe bay rapo sou ki jan yo t ap jere byen peyi a depi ti konkonm t ap goumen ak berejen? Alexis, Bellerive, elatriye, te toujou ap piye peyi a, men, pesonn pa gen dwa konnen si yo te volo oubyen si yo pa t volo byen peyi a?
    Paske depi yo voye posyon pa blan yo pou yo anvan yo fe gagot la, tout bagay byen. Bon, kote egzanp demakrasi sa a soti?

    Oukonnen moun yo pa serye? Peyi sa a, moun serye pa dwe rete ladanl non?

  2. Alexis is a thief, as minister of education, he redirected a lot of aid from the State University of Haiti to His Private University Universite Quiqueya. Dozens of computers, and technical material necessary for internet installments. There was a project to put internet in all the 11 state faculties, Alexis included his Private University Quisqueya as a recipient of the project and directed all the resources to them.

  3. Haiti is a faillure. A place rules by the worst of thugs.We often say that the haitian government has no competency … That is a big mistake. If the gogovernment is incompetent it means that it exists. The correct term is non-existant. I am so ashame to Haitian these days, I will get my pride back one day. I am pissedoff we should have been the last peuple libre. Those thugs running the country have no shame. Because they call themselves Haitians I want to be haitian no f#####g more. Un president qui est un drunk, des senators qui sont des bandits dont leur amis se sont des kidnapers. Des ministres mediocre qui ont pour mission d’ellimination total la morale d’un peuple. Qu’est ce qu’on droit faire.. je demende a tous les haitiens de se mettrent debout pour dire “ase mezanmi”. Le probleme en haiti c’est pas un probleme des americains; le probleme est haitien. On a besiondes haitiens qui aiment leur pays. Le tempt est la pour dire a tout le momde qui nou sommes. Nous sommes pas des imbes malgres que notre so call government nous a markettte comme ca.
