QUOTE OF THE DAY
If you have made mistakes...there is always
another chance for you...you may have a fresh
start any moment you choose, for this thing we
call "failure" is not the falling down, but the
staying down.
U.S. SENATOR

JOE BIDEN
IS
CARL’S CORNER’S CHOICE
FOR
VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
WITH
SENATOR BARACK OBAMA

Joe Biden
did vote for
Clarence Thomas
for U.S. Supreme Court judge. This was a
serious error in judgement. However, the
American people are not going to find any other
U.S. senator who did not make any mistake.
NO WAR HERO

Senator John Mc Cain
He screwed-up over Vietnam and his plane was
shot down for not obeying orders. McCain likes
to illustrate his moral fibre by referring to
his five years as a prisoner-of-war in Vietnam.
And to demonstrate his commitment to family
values, the 71-year-old-former US Navy pilot
pays warm tribute to his beautiful blonde wife,
Cindy, with whom he he has four children.
But there is another Mrs.McCain who casts a
ghastly shadow over the Senator’s presidential
campaign. She is seldom seen and rarely
written about, despite being mother to
McCains’s three eldest children.

The conversation with
Dr. Miot
is continued by:
Jean H. Charles

(Related to polemic on CARL’S CORNER
of Friday 15 August 2008 and Monday
18 August 2008).
Dr. Miot asked what to do to solve the Haitian
dilemma?
I will try to answer the question, but before I do so, I
would like first address the issue of sensitivity towards
and concern about the race issue in Haiti. Rereading
Thomas Madiou last December in Haiti, I was shocked
or rather appaled at the cruelty of Henri Christophe on
his way from Gonaives to Cape Haitian, when he
ordered the killing of all mulattoes, including women
and children under the pretext that they will never
become true Haitians.
In retrospect, it was maybe the first genocide of the
19th Century. We should have the courage to entertain
a national conversation to delve into the unconscious

soul to try to heal the wrong. The “noirisme”
(blackness) doctrine is well and alive in Haiti, its specter
has denied Louis Déjoie a role in Haitian politics some
fifty years ago, Charles Baker and more recently Senator
Rudolf Boulos is being prevented from serving the
population of the North East of Haiti in spite of his
fervor to do so.
In a previous essay, in Caribbean Net News, I have
presented the dilemma of Haiti and Guyana as the two
fault lines of the Caribbean, where the issue of race
relations and politics is still causing havoc preventing an
harmonious and integrated development of both
countries.
By contrast Trinidad and even Jamaica have realized
that integration in melting their Indian, Chinese,
Portuguese and Black populations. Their full
development is visible in all sectors of life.

Nevertheless, in the Haitian situation, to borrow a
colloquia from Harry Trumann, Jean Jacques Dessalines
is our Dessalines, Henri Christophe is our Christophe,
Alexandre Pétion is our Pétion and Jean Pierre Boyer is
our Boyer. They shall remain our national heroes until
the end of times.
I have put the light on the tyranny of Christophe. It was
appaling.The laissez -graining policy of Pétion was
unfortunate. It is the province of a good parent to
provide a solid education to their children at the age of
their formation, Haiti is still carrying the mis-education
of its earlier age. Dr. Miot and Jean H. Charles are the
prototype of the success story of Haiti. Well versed in
English, French and Creole with a sprinkle of Latin and
Greek, they can and will manage anywhere in the
world.Yet, Haiti cannot continue to have 85% of its
population in the bondage of illiteracy, poverty and
squalor as its lot.
We must reverse the equation, in most developped

countries you find that at least 15% of their population
struggle with poverty, in Haiti, the numbers of those in
desuetude are overwhelming. China with a clear vision
and a strong political will has transformed the lives of
some 800 million peasants Chinese from squalor to
middle class status in one generation ( 25 years). Haiti
has wasted the energy and the contribution of its most
able citizens in the last fifty(50) years. It is
discriminating against its Diaspora (on the social and
political level), against the mulattoes (on the political
level) against the peasants (on the social,political and
economical level).
Creating an Haiti hospitable to all is within our
possibility. It needs to find its own Martin Luther King,
its own Nelson Mandela or it needs to revisit
its very own Jacques Roumain for vision and
inspiration..

Here is my suggestion to arrive to that end. Hopefully
we will all work towards that goal, by forgetting our
intestine struggles to focus first on those in most needs.
The plan of development for the advancement of
Haitians and of Haiti.

POLITICS
When conservatives rule,
disaster follows.
A journalist takes his second whack at
conservatism with an examination of the Bush
administration.
Posted on Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2008
Miami Herald
BY JOHN MARSHALL
THE WRECKING CREW:
How Conservatives Rule.
Thomas Frank. Metropolitan. 274 pages. $25.
This is the scenario: Conservatives detest big government, so
when they come into power they fill federal positions with
inept and inexperienced loyalists and then proceed to run up
massive deficits. This undermines the government's

effectiveness, spurs more privatization, benefits business
elites and undercuts liberals and their social programs.
This perverse and cynical misuse of American government
power is the centerpiece of Thomas Frank's stinging new
critique. He follows his influential bestseller What's the
Matter With Kansas? with another well-researched and witty
evisceration of conservatism, a new book with expectations
of huge sales in this election year (first printing: 200,000
copies).
The Washington, D.C.-based journalist takes readers on a
dispiriting trip through the strange world of Washington
and its high-glitz suburbs in northern Virginia, from the
depressed halls of the hamstrung federal bureaucracy to the
no-expense-spared lairs of lobbyists and government
contractors ringing the city.
Frank spends probably too much space for those living
outside the Beltway tracking the origins and history of the
conservative movement, its perennial outsider mind-set
(even when in power) and its anti-government activism. It
may have reached its perfect expression with the presidency
of George W. Bush, who, as Frank puts it, ''has grabbed
more power for the executive branch than anyone since
Nixon,'' yet 'actually sees himself as a `dissident in
Washington.' ''

What the conservatives do while in power is the raisond'etre
of The Wrecking Crew and is the strongest portion of the
book, especially when Frank examines the Bush
administration's rampant use of outside contractors
(''outsourcing'') that has taken over many former functions
of the federal government.
This practice has led to the much-noted debacles with
private companies in Iraq and in New Orleans after
Hurricane Katrina (where ``over $100 billion has been spent
but parts of New Orleans remain empty''). Although
conservatives fervently believe that private business is
always more efficient than the feds, the actions of private
companies in these crises has led to what Frank calls ``a ripoff
of . . . massive proportions.''
Just as insidious has been the practice of filling government
positions with cronies and hacks whose only real
qualifications appear to have been their ability to pass
various conservative litmus tests. Thus, in a typical case, the
young man put in charge of reopening the Baghdad Stock
Exchange ''hadn't followed American stock markets'' and
``hadn't studied economics and finance.''

That incompetence and disaster result from such personnel
policy should be no shocker, but Frank contends it is much
in keeping with the conservatives' grand plan; that is, to
undermine the government's effectiveness, thus fortifying
the argument that government cannot be trusted to produce
beneficial results and suggesting that even more outsourcing
is needed.
Frank does not offer much in the way of prescriptions for
change, considering the damage already done not only to the
federal government but also to the American people's faith
in the federal government, especially among the embattled`
middle class.
As he writes, ``The rest of us have been left to mourn for
another nation -- that warm middle-class world that I was
born into: a place where blue-collar workers owned boats
and suburban homes, where government seemed at least
interested in fairness, and where art and learning were
respected as much as accumulation. The wreckage of that
America lies all around us today.''
El Salvador

front-runner
pledges Cuba relations
August 2008
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (Reuters): The leftist front-runner in the
race to be El Salvador's next president said on Sunday he would
reestablish diplomatic relations with Cuba if elected.

candidate of the
Farabundo Marti
Liberation Front

Funes. AFP PHOTO
Mauricio Funes, a former correspondent for
international news channel CNN, is currently
leading polls ahead of the March 2009 election.
Speaking at a convention of his Farabundo Marti
National Liberation Front, or FMLN party, Funes
said, "We are going to open diplomatic relations
with our Cuban brothers and their government."
El Salvador has never had a leftist president, and
the country severed ties with Cuba after the
communist island's 1959 revolution. Funes'
conservative rival is former police chief Rodrigo
Avila of the Nationalist Republican Alliance, which
has been in power since 1989.
The FMLN has shaken off some of its Marxist roots from its days as a
rebel group that battled a series of U.S. backed governments in the
country's 1980-1992 civil war.
Funes also promised to respect private property if elected.

Dominican Republic
president
begins new term under pressure.
August 2008
By Manuel Jimenez
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (Reuters): President Leonel
Fernandez was sworn in for a third term on Saturday, facing
mounting pressure to steer the Dominican Republic clear of a deep
economic slump threatening much of the Caribbean.
Analysts say Fernandez's deft handling of the economy, and his
ability to pull it out of the severe crisis he inherited in 2004, were
key to the victory of the New York-raised lawyer and academic in his
re-election in May.
Dominican Republic's President Leonel
Fernandez gives a speech after receiving
the presidential sash at the national
congress in Santo Domingo. AFP PHOTO
But Fernandez has since been coping
with fallout from the stumbling US
economy and high global oil and food
prices.
As a result, economic growth is
expected to slow sharply this year as
the import-dependent country is
buffeted by problems including the
soaring cost of energy subsidies, budget
strains and a return to double-digit
inflation.
A drop in remittances from the United States, which is home to most
of the Dominicans sending money back from abroad, is another

problem undermining the domestic economy.
"I think his honeymoon is likely to be short. I think it's probably
over," said Dan Erikson, a Caribbean expert at the Inter-American
Dialogue policy group in Washington.
"I think this is going to be a real difficult period for Fernandez to
navigate."
The Dominican Republic is far wealthier than Haiti, its poor neighbor
on the island of Hispaniola. But many Dominicans struggle to satisfy
basic needs despite a tourism and real estate boom.
Fernandez and his centrist Dominican Liberation Party vowed on the
campaign trail to come up with a "social pact" to address poverty
and expand government programs if he won re-election, Recently
announced fiscal belt-tightening measures, including controls on
spending, don't augur well for poverty reduction, however.
"It limits your capacity to act if you go from buying oil at $60 per
barrel on average to buying it at $110 per barrel," Deputy Planning
Minister Guarocuya Felix told Reuters.
"You might have been able to use that difference to finance social
needs ... It affects people's well-being," he said.
Fernandez inherited a crumbling economy in 2004 when he became
president for the second time. The collapse of a major bank in 2003
had sent inflation soaring, plunging the government deep into the
red and provoking a sharp economic recession.
Fernandez managed to turn things around with the help of loans
from the International Monetary Fund. This time, however, the
country's problems stem largely from external conditions that are
outside his control.
"This is something that has affected the Caribbean as a whole," said
Erikson. "Most of these countries are net importers and net fuel

importers."
Fernandez, 54, was first president from 1996 to 2000 before winning
office again in 2004.

Dear Dave,
The following was posted in English and Haitian Creole on

which will eventually be recorded also on www.fombrun.com

Before Tuesday 26 August 2008 your noble suggestion is being
posted again on CARL’S CORNER to remind voters the
importance of voting on behalf of the Children’s Trust.
Rachel Moscoso Denis and I thank you for your latest note and
we will do our very best to promote voting for the Children’s
Trust next Tuesday 26 August 2008.

Rachel and Carl:
Bonjour.
Thank you both for caring so much and working so hard on
behalf of The Children’s Trust. You are making a difference.
I am deeply worried that many people will go to the polls and
not see The Children’s Trust listed. If so, the children will
lose that vote.
You’ll find below – attached and pasted -- some information
in English and Haitian Creole about this renewal election.

God bless you both for caring.
Dave Lawrence
Backgrounder on The Children’s
Trust
How the August 26, 2008 ballot will read:
The Children’s Trust
Shall The Children’s Trust, the independent special district for
children’s services, be renewed to fund improvements to children’s
health, development and safety including:
• Programs to reduce violence and keep children safe,
• After-school and summer programs,
• Programs to improve the educational quality of child care, and
• Health care teams for public schools; and
• Promote parental and community responsibility for children;
and continue the annual ad valorem tax levy not to exceed one-

half (1/2) mill?
Some of what The Children’s Trust already has achieved:
• Health teams (including a nurse or nurse practitioner and
another person with a master’s in social work) will be in 164
public schools. When we started two years ago, there were just
19 nurses and 24 health clinics in our public schools.
• A neighborhood-based outreach program to link children and
families with KidCare and other forms of health insurance.
• More than 40,000 Miami-Dade children now have higher-quality
after-school and summer care.
• More than $15 million spent this year alone on behalf of children
with special needs.
• A 211 hotline where parents can call 24 hours a day -- 7 days a
week -- in any of three languages (English, Spanish, Haitian
Creole) for information, guidance and services to help children
from before birth through age 18. That could be about afterschool
child care, quality child care, prenatal health, health
insurance and much more.
• Investing millions toward higher-quality, genuinely stimulating
child care.
• Investing millions in a home-visiting program being offered to all
first-time and teenage mothers in Miami-Dade.

How many dedicated funding sources for children in this state: Eight,
including some of the biggest counties, e.g., Broward, Palm Beach,
Hillsborough, Pinellas, in addition to Miami-Dade. In total, these eight
Children’s Services Councils cover two-thirds of the children in this
state.
Cost: An owner of a median-assessed-value home (half the homes
assessed higher, half lower) in Miami-Dade County pays $57.88 a
year. This is not a burden on poor people.

Construction qui appartiendrait

Actualités / Parlement
HAITI 2008 / POUVOIR ET EXCENTRICITES
Journal Le Matin
Peut-on tout se permettre
quand on est sénateur ?
La question est fondée, au constat de cette construction qui enjambe
la route reliant Carpentier (dans la région de Port-Salut) à Port-à-
Piment. Les informations ont démenti l'impression première qu'il
s'agissait d'une œuvre d'art. Aussi insolite que cela puisse paraître,

cette photo montre une maison privée qui appartiendrait…au
sénateur Carlos Fritz Lebon.
Ainsi donc, quand on est sénateur de la République d'Haïti en l'an
2008, on peut tout se permettre, même d'ignorer le décret–loi du 5
août 1937 sur les règles spéciales relatives à l'habitation et à
l'aménagement des villes et des campagnes.
Ce décret-loi, que viendra renforcer la loi du 6 juin 1963, stipule en
son article 1 que: « Nul n'a le droit de construire en saillie, en avance
ou encorbellement sur la voie publique ».
Mais il est aussi une loi non écrite que, quand on est sénateur de la
République, on n'est pas n'importe qui. Et que, du haut de ce statut,
on peut se laisser aller à quelques petites excentricités. La nation
n'en mourra pas. Pas pour si peu!

Issa El Saieh
Maestro!
Le Maestro

Michèle Voltaire Marcelin et Issa El Saieh ~ 1990
Un peu plus de trois ans que le Maestro est parti. Un peu
plus de trois ans que je ne vais plus à l'Avenue du Chili. Ce
passage désiré et obligé me manque. Et me manque aussi
son affection à la fois nonchalante et généreuse. Nous allons
voir le Maestro? disait mon père et la voiture gravissait la
pente jusqu'à la Gallerie Issa.
Nous disions bonjour à Normil qui peignait dans l'atelier; à
Lefranc, accoudé à la portière de l'ancienne Lada blanche; à
Titra sous l'ombrage du frangipanier. S'il n'avait pas de
clients, nous retrouvions le Maestro assis près de la fenêtre.
Après des embrassades discrètes, car ce grivois était
curieusement un pudique des sentiments, il demandait à

Josie d'apporter du café et du jus de cerises. Moi, j'explorais
le fouillis habituel, dénichant parfois une nouvelle toile que
je pensais tirer d'une obscurité peu méritée; une phrase
d'Issa suffisait, un tu n'aimes pas lapidaire, pour renvoyer
l'intruse aux oubliettes. De temps en temps, je regardais les
deux amis.
Entre Issa et mon père, c'était d'abord une histoire d'amitié
qui se passait d'histoires et parfois se passait dans le
silence. Je les ai vus désenchantés et ravis et je les ai vus rire
de tout en dépit de tout, parfois d'un fou rire qui me gagnait
sans que je sache pourquoi. Amis de toujours et pour la vie,
ils se prédisaient leurs morts en succession. Le seul point de
contention étant lequel des deux partirait le premier. Ce fut
mon père. Issa le suivit deux jours après.
Pour qu'ils soient inséparables jusque dans la mort, nos
familles se mirent d'accord pour que leurs funérailles soient
chantées ensemble. Je pense souvent à lui et à toutes les
histoires partagées depuis des années.
Merci pour les souvenirs, Maestro!

Issa El Saieh (22/02/1919 ~ 02/02/2005)
Issa El Saieh est né le 22 février 1919 à Petit Goâve, de
parents originaires de la Palestine. Initié à la musique dans
une fanfare de lycée à Boston où il joue de la clarinette en si
bémol, il devient un passionné du jazz.
A son retour au pays natal, il joue quelques années comme
clarinettiste et saxophoniste dans la formation musicale
"Jazz Rouzier". En 1942, ce visionnaire fait appel aux
musiciens les plus doués et les plus compétents de son
époque pour créer l'Ensemble Issa El Saieh. Avec le
trompettiste Antalcidas O. Murat devenu arrangeur et
orchestrateur, cette nouvelle formation sera à l’avant-
garde d’une musique haïtienne en quête de nouvelles voies
après la domination des rythmes importés.
Ce sera le premier ensemble à accorder une place

considérable au folklore haïtien dans ses productions
musicales. Issa fera appel à Ti Roro et Ti Marcel, deux
géants du tambour, comme forces motrices de sa section
rythmique. Le trompettiste Serge Lebon et le pianiste
Emmanuel "Tonton" Duroseau viendront aussi le
retrouver pour présenter aux mélomanes d’horizons divers
des oeuvres de qualité.
De prestigieux musiciens comme Guy Durosier, Raul
Guillaume, Victor Flambert, Hilaire Dorval et Ernst
"Nono" Lamy apporteront aussi leur contribution. 10 ans
plus tard, "l’Orchestre Issa El Saieh" sera classé comme
l’une des meilleures formations non seulement d’Haïti,
mais aussi de l’Amérique latine.
En 1949, en vue d’introduire l’idiome BeBop par une série
d’ateliers de travail avec ses musiciens, il intégrera des
musiciens de jazz au rayonnement international dans sa
formation musicale: l’un des plus remarquables musiciens
de la tradition du swing au bop, le saxophoniste ténor et
arrangeur américain Budd Johnson ; le pianiste de be-bop

Billy Taylor ; l’excellent arrangeur et trompettiste de Saint
Thomas, Bobby Hicks et le pianiste et arrangeur cubain
Bebo Valdés, son frère spirituel.
« L’âge d’or de "l’Orchestre Issa El Saieh" se situe entre
1947 et 1952. Sa formation se produisait alors
généralement les samedis soirs à Cabane Choucoune, à
Pétion-Ville et, de temps en temps, dans d’autres boîtes de
nuit », commentent Louis Carl Saint Jean et Mats
Lundahl.
Etant toujours prêt à venir en aide à ses pairs et ayant
toujours rêvé de faire connaître la musique haïtienne à
travers le monde, Issa a été un mécène musical, aidant à
l’acquisition d’instruments pour diverses formations
musicales et gravant des vinyles qu’il distribuait
gratuitement à ses clients, selon Ed Rainer Sainvil.
Après avoir consacré près d’une vingtaine d’années de sa
vie à la musique, au milieu des années 1950, Issa El Saieh

s’adonnera à l'acquisition de la peinture, et deviendra plus
tard un galeriste renommé. Il est mort à Port-au-Prince le
2 février 2005, à l’âge de 85 ans.

REMARQUES DE CARL
Merci, Michèle.
J’ai bien connu le Maestro Issa El Saieh dans ma jeunesse ayant grandi
aux sons de sa musique. Je n’ai que de bons souvenirs de lui qui
renaissèrent quand il rencontra, à l’automne de sa vie, ma fille aînée

aussi artiste, et concerné pour le bien-être de cette dernière et pour
son art, il m’en fit part avec une chaleur d’âme accompagnée de
sincères et fraternelles affections.
Chère Michèle, aujourd’hui, te voici, la fille adoptive du COIN DE
CARL, rappellant ces bons moments de ta vie, passés avec le Maestro.
Hommage mérité.

Caracas, 17 de agosto. El presidente de Venezuela, Hugo Chávez,
informó hoy que su par ruso, Dimitri Medvediev, desea enviar una
flota naval al mar Caribe.
“Rusia nos ha informado acerca de la intención que tiene de visitar
Venezuela, es decir, de la intención de que una flota rusa venga por

el Caribe”, dijo Chávez durante su alocución dominical en el
programa televisivo Aló, Presidente!
Chávez, quien precisó que la visita de la flota sería “de amistad y
trabajo”, aseguró haberle dicho al presidente Medvediev que “si van
por el Caribe los recibiremos”.
Esta versión sobre el envío de una flota naval rusa al Caribe se suma
a la información difundida el 21 de julio pasado en el sentido de que
Cuba podría albergar una base para el reabastecimiento de
bombarderos estratégicos rusos.
Venezuela y Rusia han incrementado la cooperación militar y han
firmado contratos de armas por cuatro mil millones de dólares en
los últimos años, incluidos fusiles Kalashnikov, helicópteros
militares y aviones cazabombarderos, según la fabricante de equipos
bélicos rusa Rosoboronexport.
“Nos hacen mucha falta aquí, tenemos los helicópteros, los aviones
Sukoi y estamos ahora evaluando la compra de submarinos rusos
para vigilar nuestro mar territorial”, comentó Chávez.
El presidente reiteró, por otra parte, su respaldo a Rusia en el
conflicto en la región separatista georgiana de Osetia del Sur y
sostuvo que el presidente de Georgia, Mijail Saakashvili, es un
“títere de Estados Unidos”.
Asimismo, el mandatario dio a conocer que el primero de noviembre
China lanzará un satélite de comunicaciones que construyó por
pedido de su gobierno.
El satélite Simón Bolívar, que ocupará una órbita asignada al
gobierno de Uruguay, tendrá su base de control en el estado central
de Guárico.
“Es un satélite geoestacionario que nos independizará de las
trasnacionales de la comunicación”, dijo Chávez, quien dijo que el

aparato servirá a la emisora multinacional Telesur y podrá dar
servicio a otros países de “Indoamérica”, según la expresión del
gobernante, que señaló que los conceptos de Latinoamérica e
Iberomaérica fueron impuestos con una óptica europea.
Finalmente, informó que viajará a China en septiembre para
fortalecer las relaciones bilaterales. Ambos países han firmado
varios acuerdos de cooperación en diversas áreas.

BADÈ !

PA KAL FONBWEN
PAKAPALA !
Se liv, jounal, odinatè, ak tripotay ki fè de
mwen yon kronikè, yon istoryen nan Kwen
Kal-la nan radio, televizyon ak entènèt pou
listwa ofysyèl ak la ptit istwa peyi d-Ayiti ki
chaje ak pikan. Anvan se te yon kronikè plim
a la men mwen te ye pou jounal Haiti-en-
Marche, an franse, epi Haitian Times an
angle. Mwen te fè yon bout wout ak yo tou le
de.

Kwen Kal la vil Miami-an parèt anpil
fwa nan radyo ak televizyon nan kanton
Broward ak Miami Dade, nan gwo inivèsite
leta la Florid, nan entènèt, epi nan Libreri
Mapou, sant kilti pèp ayisyen vil Miami. Nap
mennen.
Gen bagay mwen pral pale sou listwa
anpil ladan-nou konnen, men, gen lot
moun vil New York ak lot kote ki mandem
pou mwen fè kèk jako tolokotok, sa ki
vle di repete sa mwen te bay deja.
Noblès oblij. Gen lot moun peyi Canada
ki di-m yo pa fò nan kreyol, yo paka li
istwa kreyol mwen yo nan sit entènèt-la,
poukisa mwen pa bay yo-li sou radyo.
Noblès oblij.

Istwa peyi d-Ayiti se depi plis yon 200
lane e se esperyians pèsonèl mwen tou,
mwen viv, nan la ptit istwa peyi-nou, nou
vle mwen retounen avè-li, avè-nou, ak
anpil zen sa-yo ki pa ekri nan oken liv.
Map ban nou-li ti gout pa ti gout . Ma-p
seye divèti-nou, ak chans pou mwen
enfome nou.
En menm tan ma-p rete nan sa mwen
kwè ki se la verite, tèt kale, men-m si
pafwa la verite ap yon chimen jennen. Ki
jan blan franse-an di anko? ? « Toutes
les vérités ne sont pas bonnes à dire. »
Sa se yon lot filozofi.
Nan pwen jouda limanite pa dekouvri ak
jouva jouvyen. Mwen pwal voye monte
nan lang ayisienn-lan avèk nou, pa
sèlman paske, kreyol pale kreyol
konprann, men se yon lang majorite pèp

ayisyien renmen, se vre lang nasyonalla.
Pale franse pa vle di lespri, sa se la
verite, pa konprann mwen mal, tande.
Franse se yon bèl lang men rayi chen di
dan-l blansh, kreyol-la se jaden papanou.
Rasin mwen se vil Gonaives e mwen fèt
vil Potoprens nan yon ti-peyi tèt chaje ki
rele Ayiti. Depi lè mwen te yon ti-kat kat
gen de souvni mwen paka bliye.
Yon gran filozof ki te rele Ulysse te konnen
di: ? Vini zanmi mwen yo, li pa twò ta pou
nou bati yon nouvo sosyiete. An nou shasheli,
lè nou jwenn li an nou goumen pou-li .Pa
lage-li. »

Yon jou, kon jodi-a, laveni dèyè dò mwen ak
76 lane sou tèt mwen. Pou nou tout lavni se sa
ki pwal fèt e ki apre yon-tan va sa nou rele le
pase, sak te fèt, bon ou move, ak tout
konsekans yo, anvan-n mouri.
Gen sa ki gen chans, kon mwen, ki ka viv ak
souvni-yo. Gen lot ki fè anpil pou peyi
d-Ayiti, ki mouri anvan lè yo, moun pa jan-m
rekonèt-yo, la vi pat bay yo chans sa-a. Jan
zuzu franse-an konnen di:
» Oh ! Combien d?actions, combien
d?exploits célèbres, sont demeurés sans
gloire au millieu des ténèbres. »
Pwemye fwa tonton Sam okipe peyi
d-Ayiti sete mitan mwa juye lane 1915
rive pou mitan mwa out lane 1934. Lane
1934 te wè kreasyon La Gad Dayiti apre

lan meriken bat dèyè yo epi remèt nou
peyi nou.
Tonton Sam te prevni eta majò nouvo Gad
Dayiti-an, se pa pou li te mele nan politik
gouvènman-an, ki te nan men sivil-yo.
Prezidan Stenio Vincent, yon milat, chèf
peyi-an depi lane 1930 rive lane 1941,
pèp la vin konnen kon Papa Vincent,
profite pou li pran woulib sou lwa blan
meriken sa-a ki te deklare militè pat gen
dwa mele nan politik.
Papa Vincent fè yon plebisit ki transfere
otorite, tout sa ki pou te wè ak ekonomi
peyi-an, ki te nan men pouvwa lejislatifla
nan pouvwa exekitif, kote Vincent sete
sèl kok ki te chante.

Papa Vincent, yon milat, te grandi nan la
mizè e li pat twò alèz ak milat rish yo. Li
te renmen pran-yo nan shimen jennen.
Li fòmen pwop ti gwoup milat pa li ki te
sou zod-li. Li bay jenn nèg nwè-yo
opotinite pou okipe gwo job nan leta kon
Dumarsais Estimé, pitit yon abitan ki te
gen kob, li nonmen nan kabinè-li, minis
ledikasyon nasyonal. « Titim » jan yo te
rele Dumarsais ta chita yon jou li menm
sou chez boure-an.
Lane 1935 Vincent foure nan gagann
mesye lejislatu-yo yon nouvo
konstitisyon ak yon lot plebisit. Plebisit
vle di yon referandom kote se swa dizan
pèp-la ki te ale vote pou chanjman sa yo.
La Gad Militè Ayiti-an te gen kon chèf
yon nèg nwè, kolonel Démosthènes
Pétrus Calixte. Tout solda-yo te nèg
nwè, men, preske tout ofisye komandan
yo ki te ansèkle kolonel Calixte sete nèg

wouj, sa yo rele milat. Se konsa sytèm
rasis sudis tonton Sam, ki te okipe peyian,
ak anpil militè blan kou wouj ladan-li
ki rele « red neck », te fome la gad
Dayiti.
Papa Vincent fè yon plebisit ki transfere
otorite, tout sa ki pou te wè ak ekonomi
peyi-an, ki te nan men pouvwa lejislatiflan,
nan pouvwa exekitif, kote Papa
Vincent sete sèl kok ki te chante.
Lane 1935 Vensan foure nan gagann
mesyie lejislatu-yo yon nouvo
konstitision ak yon lot plebisit kote sete
swa dizan pèp-la ki te ale vote pou
chanjman sa yo.
Nouvo konstitisyon 1935 sa-a kanpe
Papa Vincent kon yon gwo zouzoun ak

otorite pou revoke mesye palemantè-yo
ki te nan lejislatu-an, lè lide-l te di-li, refè
tout tribinal ak jij pa-li, epi dwa pou li te
nonmen pami yon total de 21 senatè 11
ladan-yo, ak lot dis-yo li te gen dwa
chwazi e rekomande pou la chamb
depite vote pou yo. Vincent te sèl abit
ekzekitif, lejislatif, ak la jistis.
Anplis, nouvo konstitisyon-an te bay
Papa Vincent dwa dirije peyi-an pa
dekrè, sa ki te vle di pou kont-li, lè la
chanb ak sena pat an sesyon. Pouvwa
lejislatif ak pouvwa judisiè-an, sete 2
pope twèl anba kontwol pouvwa
ekzekitif-la ak diktatè Sténio Vincent, sèl
kok ki te chante.
Se pou nou di Sténio Vincent te fè kèk
bon enprouvman nan infrastrukti peyi-

an, men li pat pèmet oken opozisyon
kont gouvènman li-a. Li mete baboukèt
nan dyol jounalis ak spikè radio epi li
gouvènen Ayiti Toma konsi sete jaden
papa-li pou benefisye yon ti klik
komèsan ak kèk komandan militè, moun
pa-li, anba shal. Jan blan franse renmen
deklare : « Plus celà change, plus c’est
la même chose. »
La ptit istwa. Mwen te gen sèlman twa
grenn rekolt kafe sou tèt mwen lè senatè
Charles Fombrun, papa mwen, ki te youn
nan jenn senatè prezidan Vincent te revoke,
akoz li te kritike nouvo konstitusyon lane
1935 lan ki te bay Papa Vincent tout pouvwa.
Minis enteryè Vincent, Joseph Lanoue,
ale di yon zanmi papa mwen li te
resevwa lod prezidan Vincent pou mete
Fombrun anba kod. Zanmi-an di

Fombrun gaye kow-li. Pye kout pran
douvan. Charles Fombrun kouri pran
azil nan konsila peyi Kiba vil potoprens.
Lè sa-a, pat gen anbasad.
Vincent pat kontan ak papa mwen paske
Fombrun te kritike tèt kale nan sena
nouvo konstitusion 1935-la, ki te bay
prezidan peyi-an, yon sèl nèg wouj, tout
kalite pouvwa sou tout moun. Pèson pat
gen dwa mande Vincent de ki prevyen.
Se pousa li te revoke senatè vil Gonayivla.
Militè bot sire ak chèf biro
envestigasyon kriminèl, Lietnan Jacques
Étienne debake lakay mwen nan mitan
lan nuit, aveni N bòw Pont St. Géraud
chimen dè Dal nan vil potoprens.

Yo fouye tout kay-la jouk nan grenye pou wè
si senatè Fombrun te kashe-la. Lietnan
Jacques Etienne te gen nan pye-li de gwo bot
sire mawon. Mwen te genyen 3 grenn lane
sou tèt mwen e mwen te wotè bot li-yo. La
polis menm gade anba kabann.
Papa Vincent ki te renmen pale bon zuzu
franse te gen yon jan li te konnen fè
minis li-yo ri nan lang kreyol-la lè li te
konnen deklare pli bèl envansyon
limanite sou la tè sete kabann, « ou ka
domi sou-li, ou ka fè lanmou sou-li, ou
ka kashe anba-li lè medam-yo vle twop
atò. »
Ala kontan Sténio ta kontan jodi-a pou li
ta pwan plezi-li sou gwo « king size » yo.
Li ta bay prezidan Kennedy ak Bill
Clinton konpetisyon.

Futu Papa Doc-la Francois Duvalier, jenn
gason lè sa-a, te komanse a-p aprand
politik kraze zo nan obsève politik Papa
Vincent. Futu Papa Doc-la te an
fomasyon e se la li pran non « Papa »an
li te renmen anpil depi kon senp doktè,
« Papa Doc » nan bwa peyi d-Ayiti.
Mezanmi, makak wè, makak pwal fè.
ZANMI KREYOL MWEN YO se la ma-p
rete pou jodi-a. Na pale denmen si
Granmèt la vle.
