​

I. RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF NATIONAL ARMED FORCES & THE EVACUATION OF ALL FOREIGN, OCCUPYING, MILITARY POWERS IN HAITI; INDISPUTABLE SOVEREIGNTY OF HAITIAN LAND, SEA, AND AIR.

​

     A nation's sovereignty and the dignity of its people is dependent upon the existence of a national armed forces. The advocates for democracy in Haiti, who are so in love with the 1987 constitution, are hypocrites for opposing the re installation of the national, legally recognized military of the land that is the FAd'H. The constitution clearly states that this institution shall be the guardian of sovereignty of the land of Haiti. This very constitution was brought to life underneath FAD'H. When aristede at the behest of his 'padrone' bill clinton, demobilized the national military in 1995, he committed a constitutionally illegal assault and desecration of the up most treasonous nature upon the land of Haiti.

 

     The repressive actions of the military during the past do not justify demobilization. A military or police force can and should be reformed when corruption exist but the function they serve are essential for the defense of any society. The demobilization of the FAd'H was the pretext for the almost 23-year occupation of Haiti by foreign military powers which has brought rampant sexual abuse of children, men and women throughout Haiti as well as the dreadful mass contamination of Cholera. The mercenary MINUSTAH and other foreign private security groups exist in Haiti to protect the bourgeois and their business interest, while subduing any potentially threatening popular political uprising. Our nation was founded upon a military struggle. And it is a military that gave Haitian people a right to existence during the nineteenth century, a period of European global dominance in the world.

​

      The "Agents of Evil' in Haiti namely the numerous NGOs, bill clinton, and the mercenary army known as the UN soldiers, through the medium of sell-out, 21'st century slaves that are Haitian politicians, have been venomously pursing (as well as succeeding in) the destabilization of Haiti in a grand scheme to ultimately revert and reduce the world's first black republic to a state of "NEO-COLONIALISM"

​

     In this time of great peril in my beloved land of Haiti only the true Haitian nationalists will be able to rebuild the country, not the international community who operate in Haiti according to their business interest with standards and practices more indecent and exploitative than the mafia. It is truly a most urgent time for Haitians to take true control over their nation and there-by take control over their futures. This cannot be accomplished with the presences of foreign mercenaries in our country. VIVE FORCES ARMEES D'HAITI. VIVE LE REPUBLIQUE D'HAITI.

​

II. DEVELOPMENT, EXPANSION AND PROTECTION OF DOMESTIC AGRICULTURE & IRRIGATION; GUARANTEED MEAL FOR EVERY HAITIAN CITIZEN.

​

     Haiti, like many third-world nation has an agriculturally-based economy. Since colonial times our strategic advantage is our fertile land, and tropical climate that is most suitable for agriculture. Food is a basic necessity for life on earth. Food and water are essential for all humans to live and should be protected, accessible, and free for all creatures on Earth. The Earth was created for all creatures to cultivate and live upon.

 

     Since the start of the foreign occupation of Haiti that began in 1994, bill clinton and multinational food corporations lobbied for and have successfully destroyed most of Haiti's domestic food industries while supplying Haiti with an excess of GMO subsidized rice, corn, beverages, sugar, meats and other commodities. These foreign commodities bankrupted domestic food producers in Haiti while putting an unnecessary financial burden on Haiti's limited treasury to feed a starving population.

 

     Haiti's strategic economic advantage as a Caribbean nation is the production of wholesome, organic, agriculture on a local, communal, and national scale to FIRST ensure that each citizen is guaranteed a bowl of rice and to THEN export the excess for profit.  Clean water supply & irrigation are both critical and intertwined to the nourishment, health, and agriculture of any society; so they should be developed and protected with equal importance. 

​

III. DEVELOPMENT OF INEXPENSIVE, ACCESSIBLE, AND RENEWABLE ENERGY THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE NATION.

​

     Energy is the force of life and of civilization. Electricity in all regions of a country is a hall mark of modernization that enables development, education, transportation, communication, and a host of other activities of a nation to occur at a faster rate. In this age Haiti is still dependent on oil, and fossil fuel consumption which creates necessary and unbearable strain for both Haiti's treasury and ecology. Buying oil even at a subsidized prize (as with Petro Carib funds from Venezuela) cost the government of Haiti millions to keep the country functioning. Poorer Haitian's who don't have alternatives to heating their stoves burn charbon (the wood of precious trees that are chopped from Haiti’s depleting rain forest).

                     

      The deforestation of Haiti hampers food production and causes massive devastation during hurricanes due to the mudslides that arise from the loosened soil of deforested land. Haiti as a Caribbean nation has an abundance of sunshine, as well as substantial wind power in the mountain regions. Efforts should be made to repair the Peligre Dam in Hinche, but given the scale of the energy needs of Haiti and the environmental impact of dams, priority should be given to the mass development and application of solar technology in Haiti. 

​

     Solar technology is very developed and accessible in the world. It is capable of powering industries, homes, public buildings, and irrigation systems throughout Haiti. A coordinated development of solar power in Haiti would enable each citizen and society at large, to have access to inexpensive, clean and renewable energy.

​

​

IV. FREE AND ACCESSIBLE EDUCATION FOR EVERY HAITIAN CITIZEN. 

​

     Education empowers a society because it gives citizens the ability to comprehend and utilize information about their self, world, and their government. Through knowledge a citizen can understand the issues facing their society and the consequences that the actions of their government yield. Knowledge gives one the ability to understand and change the conditions of one's life. Lack of education is one way slaves in the New World were kept oppressed. The military and administrative training given to Jean-Jacques Dessalines and academic education of Toussaint L'ouveture contributed to the first successful slave rebellion in the world and the creation of the first Black republic on Earth. 

​

     Currently, education is not accessible to many due to the cost of even public education, and the existence of suitable infrastructure and funding to pay teachers. Haitian masses are also hampered by educational systems and government institutions that communicate only in French a language spoken by approximately ten percent of the population.  Creole is the language of the masses and should be the language that both textbooks and government laws are published in.

​

     It is through compression and knowledge about life, government, and self that one can find solutions to one’s problem. Knowledge and education are among the most valuable and important aspects of life and should be free and accessible to all; they are the ultimate tool of liberation.

​

V. FREE AND ACCESSIBLE HEALTHCARE FOR EVERY HAITIAN CITIZEN.

​

     Healthcare is a right to life in any civilized country. Disease and illness affects all members of any society due to the random and yet inter-connected nature of life. In a society that values and cares for life, healthcare to each human regardless of income is as fundamental and necessary as food, education, shelter, and freedom of self-determination. If the intent and political organization is there, Haiti even with its hampered economy can implement and develop universal healthcare throughout the island. Cuba is an excellent example of an agrarian economy that centralized its resources during the mid 20th century, to develop a world renowned health care system accessible to all Cubans. Cuba developed their socialized healthcare and educational systems while withstanding the devastating effects of the US trade embargo. In many regions of Haiti, from the countryside to the metropolitan, people develop serious illness from treatable conditions simply because they do not have access to basic health services and institutions. Health and well-being is fundamental to every creature, human, and society.

​

VI. ESTABLISHMENT OF DUAL- CITIZENSHIP FOR ALL HAITIAN DIASPORA. 

​

     The Haitian Diaspora that are located throughout the United States, Europe, and the World are an invaluable resource to the development of Haiti. Within the Diaspora are countless lawyers, doctors, nurses, teachers, political activist, artists, engineers, and countless professionals. All of whom can utilize and apply their knowledge in their respective trade to train and empower Haitians with much needed professional skills, technology, and finance.

​

     The education and exposure to political systems within the United States and Europe gives many Diaspora a global political perspective and its relation to the present Haitian government, that some of the masses in Haiti might not perceive. This lack of global perception on part of some of the masses, enables the election of puppet leaders in Haiti, who are aligned with neo-colonial policies and financial elites both within and outside of the country.

​

      The Haitian Diaspora are citizens of developed countries that are heavily vested in Haitian affairs, such as the United States, Canada, and France; and they can lobby and advocate, and challenge policies of their government on behalf of the Haitian masses. One reason that the puppet governments of occupied Haiti routinely oppose the passage of dual-citizenship while many nations enable and thrive from it; is because they and their colonial masters feared the threat posed by educated Haitians running for office in Haiti who shared the same blood with the people, and understood the neo-colonial exploitation occurring in Haiti, but could not be bought off with money, status or very importantly...an American visa. 

​

      Every year the Haitian Diaspora contributes BILLIONS of dollars directly to the Haitian economy by sending their families money, food, and often times cars and clothing. If the diaspora was organized in a unified progressive party these funds could be utilize by a true nationalist government in Haiti to finance the government and accomplish the much needed infrastructure, energy, health, education projects without the need for foreign aid and the strings that come attached with it.

​

    Given the continued exploitation and genocide committed by foreign soldiers and aid workers in Haiti, it is the moral right and obligation of the Haitian Diaspora to replace the foreign NGO state in Haiti so that the masses can become truly empowered. The diaspora are Haitian people, and the masses are the families of the diaspora. No other group or organization on Earth has that cultural and family lineage with the Haitian masses.  When unified as a single progressive group, The Haitian Diaspora with their access to technology, education, finance, resources, and training; are truly capable of rebuilding the Republique D'Haiti.

​

​

VII. GOVERNMENT/ CITIZEN OVERSIGHT AND REGULATION OVER THE NATIONAL ECONOMY, TRANSPORTATION, AND COMMUNICATIONS.

​

     A major factor to maintaining sovereignty as a country, is for the people to have control over certain industries and factors of national life that are both critical to the national security and functioning of the country as a whole. By placing government regulation over the national economy (protecting domestic agriculture, and keeping competition fair) and placing regulation over the roads, railroads, national transportation, and communications; a society with a responsible government in place ensures that through represented leaders. the public, rather than private companies, have control over the day to day running of the nation.

​

      Currently Haiti's communications are owned by foreign companies whose priority are profits rather than providing the best and inexpensive service for the masses. The political biases and interest of these companies affect the whole country because they can affect how and what information is given to the people.

​

          Regulation and the oversight of the economy by a responsible progressive government is needed to ensure the protection of the interest of the Haitian masses over those of the Haitian and international corporate elites. The "NEO LIBERAL" but truly NEO-COLONIAL economic policies instituted by clinton and maintained by the puppet governments of Haiti has led to the corporate exploitation of Haitian labor, destruction of Haiti’s domestic agriculture industries, unfair trade and leverage over Haiti's economy given to the Dominican Republic, privatization and stealing of fertile land from peasants, and the systematic disenfranchisement of the poor masses of Haiti; all of this amounts to nothing short of ECONOMIC APARTHEID

​​

VIII. MASS INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT ON LOCAL AND NATIONAL LEVEL TO ENSURE GUARANTEED HOUSING TO ALL; NATIONAL URBAN AND RURAL PLANNING.

​

     Decent infrastructure is critical for the national economy and basic quality of every individual's life. The improvement of roads, civic buildings, and homes is necessary to provide citizens with shelter, access to needed institutions, and protection from natural disasters. Each citizen needs a home that has access and proximity to a livelihood, and essential resources such as roads, schools, stores, and healthcare and sanitation and sewage services. For this to be accomplished a responsible government needs to regulate urban planning laws to prohibit the unsafe construction of bidon-villes (chanty-towns) in inhabitable regions, while first providing decent government housing for those who would be displaced or affected by government zoning laws or construction. Special attention and care should be maintained concerning the balance of industrialization and the preservation and cultivation of arable land. 

​

     The rural towns and large cities of the departments should be developed so that the population can be decreased from the capital. Each village and town and city in Haiti should have an equal amount of government care development, and maintenance. Currently the capital region from Port-Au-Prince to Peition-Ville holds almost half of the nation's population. This is because the access to many institutions, most developed infrastructure and potentials for economic livelihood have been historically centralized; first in the capital city of Port-Au-Prince, and now within the financial elite's enclave of Peition-Ville. Decent infrastructure, and housing, protection from natural disasters, and public sanitation is attainable in Haiti. The development need not be to the extent of downtown Manhattan, so long as each citizen can live in decency and safety.

​

*IX. RESTORATION AND PRESERVATION OF LOCAL AND NATIONAL RAIN FORESTS, ECOSYSTEMS, RESOURCES AND MINERALS. 

​

     The preservation of Haiti's national forest is critical to the nation's ability to both feed itself and protect itself from natural disasters. Everything within the ecosystem is interrelated. Trees play an important part in any ecosystem. They provide abundant amounts of oxygen for humans, cool the temperature, are host to a multitude of species and lifeforms, they help other vegetation grow, and strengthen and hold soil with their root systems. Because of Haiti's energy needs a large part of the population uses wood that is cut from Haitian rainforest to cook their daily meals. This has led to a dramatic deforestation of Haiti's original rainforest. Due to deforestation, hurricane and floods tend to cause mudslides which destroy human lives, homes, and crop land on a massive scale. These mudslides wash away fertile soil from mountains leaving the land barren because the roots of strong trees are not there to hold the soil in place. Because of these facts, priority should be given to the reforestation of Haiti with respect to the country's ecosystem and historical species. The reforestation should be balanced and integrated with both urban industrialization and agriculture uses of land, as trees are vital to both types of environments.

​

     Related to the preservation and restoration of our national rain-forest, is the protection of valuable minerals located in Haiti. The current international neocolonial occupation and apartheid being conducted against the Haitian masses is due to interest in OIL, GOLD, IRIDIUM, AND OTHER VALUABLE MINERALS located in the mountains, land and waters of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The mercenary occupying UN soldiers MINUSTAH exist to suppress political and populist uprisings in Haiti. As with other third world nations with a valuable commodity these corporations are fighting a strategy by using their economic and political leverage in Haiti to maintain a puppet government that together with the bourgeois, are willing to allow foreign corporations to mine Haitian land with no impunity, regulation, or compensation to the Haitian people. Substantial efforts have been made by foreign corporations to acquire and privatize the most attractive, valuable, arable, and mineral-rich land regions in Haiti. 

​

     A prime example of this privatization effort is the Martelly government’s effort to allow a foreign mining mogul legal rights over the La Gonave island in the main gulf of the nation. The La Gonave island is a beautiful vast piece of public land that is home to thousands of Haitians who would be displaced and or impoverished due to mining in the region. 

​

     Another example of the theft and invasion of Haitian land is in the northern parts of Haiti near Fort Liberte where the clintons stole massive amounts of land to build a useless industrial park dubbed the Caracoal park. Far from providing any real employment for the poor of Haiti, as its creators claimed, the industrial park instead provides sweatshop labor for a small number of Haitians while destroying valuable arable land of Haitian farmers. The real reason this land was taken by the clintons was because of the region's proximity to gold deposits. hilary clinton's own brother-in-law was given a gold mining contract in Haiti to show the extent of this corporate scheme. bill clinton's destruction of Haitian domestic agriculture was an excellent pretext to remove farmers from their land, since they are competition for land that the neo-colonial powers seek to mine, exploit and destroy.  

​

     Mining as a practice destroys the land and internal structure of mountains and hills. The explosives and chemicals used as well as the practices of mining companies are notorious for destroying wildlife, agriculture, the lives, and the lands of the native people of the region the mining takes place. Workers are often exploited, overworked, diseased, injured, and killed, without regard or compensation from the mining companies. Mining in Haiti would not benefit the masses, any more than it did other third world nations exploited by foreign interest. The status quo underneath this system is that the people's rights are suppressed by a strong puppet government which is backed financially and military by a bourgeois and foreign neo-colonial interests.

​

     Land is sacred to the Native people of the Americas, Africa, and the world in general. As the descendants of the very people who SLAVED, WORKED, FOUGHT, and DIED for the land of Ayiti, it is our GOD GIVEN right to protect it from oppressors, so that it remains vital and capable of nourishing Haitian children for generations to come. The land of Ayiti exist for the masses; not for the financial interest of neo-colonial powers who have continually tried to destroy the country and people of Ayiti.

      

X. SUPPORT FOR ALL WORLDWIDE MOVEMENTS AND STRUGGLES FOR LIBERTY AND SELF-DETERMINATION.

​

     The struggle for liberty ad self-determination is world-wide in scale and has been present throughout all ages of humanity. The individuals and groups behind the great revolutions and social movements of history share a common regard for human life and liberty. They often determine their action in part due to the influence and knowledge passed on from other activists from around the world. The Haitian revolution was influenced by both the American and French revolution. The Haitian revolution created a free Black republic that Simon Bolivar could utilize for support, training, soldiers, and equipment to liberate vast regions of South America from slavery and European colonial rule.

​

     Today many nations in Latin America, Asia, and Africa especially are faced with the same struggles of neo-colonial military occupation, economic exploitation, and day to day brutality. Since the neocolonial corporate powers that exploit Haiti and other poor nations are international in nature, the resistance against them must also be international, in order to be effective in the long term. For this reason, the Alliance for Haitian Democracy supports all worldwide movements and struggles that fight for liberty and self-determination.
