PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Haitian President Michel Martelly says he’s determined to move forward with a controversial plan to bring back the army to the Caribbean nation.
The leader says he will rebuild the force even if he doesn’t have the support of others. Martelly says the army will be a modern force that doesn’t hatch coups, but instead responds to natural disasters and guards the border and seas.
The government’s plans to restore the military came to light two weeks ago after The Associated Press obtained a document that outlined the force’s objectives.
The plan comes with controversy because the military was once used as a tool for abuse and coups before it was disbanded in 1995.
Martelly made the remarks to reporters Thursday. __________________________________________________________________
Well said Mr. Collins!
President Martelly I am overjoyed to read of your intent to restore your military. Your first act should be to throw all UN forces out of country, along with every corrupt politican from foreign countries, mainly America.The men of past have only helped destroy this nation, and have allowed wicked evil men to come in and rape and stuff their pockets with the trophies that belong to Haiti. I fully understand how lack of accurate information never reaches the populace. You must do your best to get the information out to all. Deal with the traitors, and back biters, liars, in a way the remaining men will understand. President Martelly there are men that you can reach out to, not the 2 past so called leaders. You have taken on a difficult task, but if you keep your hands clean (no blood), and a kind heart, and a love of your people you will make it.Be careful who you put your trust in. Stay away from Clinton and that group.Raise up leaders amongst your own.Visit some of the Chritian schools, and other facilities. Perhaps you will find wisdom amongst Gods people.
