MARTELLY GOVERNMENT STARTING TO WOBBLE – WILL IT SURVIVE BEYOND OCTOBER SCHOOL OPENING?

   June 19, 2012

June 18, 2012

People are beginning to become disenchanted with Michel Martelly’s government. He promised Security and Education for all Children. Those were the two basic election promises he made and – had he kept them – his presidency would be secure. He also promised to revive the Forces Armees d’Haiti – FadH – and this promise seems to have become forgotten in the fog.

Security has never improved. In fact it is getting worse by the minute.

Yesterday, a mob of people was breaking car windows on Lalue.

A market was burned down.

Over 50 schools, in Cap Haitien have not received any funds – PERIOD!! Since Martelly took office.

Money from cash transfers – committed to education – is being stolen by Martelly people.

Those trying to present projects to his government are pressed for cash bribes. Michel’s wife Sophie is heavily involved.

Cash for positions has become the rule, rather than the exception. Recently, a many offered $250,000 for appointment to the Director’s position at the Cap Haitien airport. He is not qualified, but has a lot of money. Cash  for positions guarantees idiots in place, when qualified people are ignored.

Everyone expects Martelly to see his term to its end.

Foreign embassies are now wondering just how long he will manage to survive.

The real test will come with the October school openings. Already, children are being turned away from school, because they cannot pay. When October hits us, the reality will sink in and Martelly may well be toast.

The government’s ego makes it impossible to help Martelly as the Mayard-Pauls, and others, prevent access to the President.

The Doctor must have access to the Patient, otherwise Death follows.

Martelly will soon be on the slippery slope.

  1. A pledge to recreate an army with only one enemy to engage – the people, to ensure the oligarchy and their partners in the US, Canada and France have their way.

  2. Your name and English structure indicates that you are not Haitian and must assume your comment on the FAdH is based on media coverage and not actual exposure to reality in Haiti.

    The Haitian people – the 9,000,000 unheard people – are the ones wanting a revival of the military. It has played an important part in their lives since the thirties, acting as an arbiter in this society.

    Haiti had law and order when the military existed, without violence. Now we have violence, without law and order.

    The National Police were created by Aristide, who selected each man personally. All of those trained, in Canada and the USA, were fired. It has moved on, since then, without really structuring itself to meet the needs of the people. Badly led, it hosts a large criminal element, although
    there are some hard working, capable members.

    I do appreciate the fact that you have read something and commented upon it.
