*Fanmi Lavalas Press Statement, November 16, 2024*

Along with all of Haiti’s victims, Fanmi Lavalas is waiting for the new 
government at the crossroad of security.

The population is expecting security and not empty promises.

Too much blood has already been spilled.

Too many people have already died.

Too many families have already been chased out of their homes.

Too many tears have already flowed from the eyes of the Haitian people.

It is not for this that our Ancestors achieved the victory of the Battle 
of Vertieres on November 18, 1803.

Because our Ancestors genuinely loved Haiti, they sacrificed their lives 
to liberate us from the system of slavery. Unfortunately, the insecurity 
and violence of today is the offspring of the same system of slavery.

To continue this struggle for liberation, it is imperative that all 
patriots, not the “pocketbook” patriots, come together. After the 
failure of the first transitional government, this new government must 
clearly demonstrate that they are not pocketbook patriots who have 
come to bathe in corruption, but that they are patriots who genuinely 
stand against the violence of the programmed insecurity as well as the 
food insecurity.

On November 18, 1803, for the flag of victory to be raised in Vertieres, 
our great-grandparents put the interests of country before power.

Once again today, to accomplish the tasks of returning all the victims 
to their homes and establishing security to organize free and fair 
elections, we must put country before power.

Together, for all of us who have this patriotic blood in our veins, 
Fanmi Lavalas stands with you so that life can blossom again everywhere 
in the country.

Alone we are weak, together we are strong, all together WE ARE LAVALAS.


Komite Ekzekitif Fanmi Lavalas,
