*Fanmi Lavalas Press Release October 12, 2022* [unofficial translation 
by Haiti Action Committee]

Haiti is going through one of the most difficult periods in its history. 
But this grave situation has begun long before today. The country, 
specifically the majority population, the main victim, has been 
suffering greatly as a result of one coup d'etat after another, meddling 
by the International community, corruption, impunity and a government 
that is in the service of the economic mafia.

We must remember that since the kidnapping/coup d'etat of February 29, 
2004, the occupation of the country has caused more corruption, more 
massacres in the popular/working-class neighborhoods, more impunity, 
more hunger, more misery, more actors in the economic sector who have 
allied themselves with gangs that are increasing the digging of graves 
daily. Many billions of dollars were spent for the occupation, and for 
what? The situation has continued to worsen, as we all can attest. This 
calamity is the result of the 2004 coup.

While the cholera epidemic has re-surfaced to kill more people, 
prisoners are dying of disease, starvation and mistreatment day and 
night. When it comes to the excessive cost of gasoline, it has fallen 
upon us like a deadly bomb.

If we do not overturn this cauldron of misery, there will be no better 
life for Haiti. The solution for Haiti is in the hands of Haitians. The 
mobilization against the system of corruption must not stop. All of us 
who are opposed to a foreign military intervention, let us put the 
well-being of our Country before any ambition for political power or any 
ambition for economic power.

All of those honest forces who represent the economic and political 
strength of our country, the time has come for us to sit down with 
respect for each other.

Yes, the time has come to find together how we will stop the machine of 
insecurity that is spreading death everywhere in the country. Yes, it is 
not too late!  The future of Haiti is in our own hands, Haitian People.
Together, let us safeguard our dignity.

*Alone we are weak, Together we are strong, All Together, WE ARE LAVALAS *

*Executive Committee of Fanmi Lavalas*
