HAITI ACTION COMMITTEE UPDATE - July 9, 2018<br>

<div><font size="4">A demonstration by the people in
Port-au-Prince was attacked with tear gas and gunfire. The
US/UN-imposed dictator Jovenel Moise has ordered the police
to "wash" the streets. As a radio commentator stated, this
recent order is clearly a call for brutal repression; the
police only have weapons and they do not have a mission nor
any equipment to "wash" the streets. Various neighborhoods
and communities were reporting shootings of protestors by

<p><font size="4"> According to customers, the two phone
companies in Haiti, particularly Digicel, which openly
campaigned for the former imposed president
Martelly and Jovenel Moise, have been blocking and
interfering with phone communication in the country.
This has also greatly hampered news gathering and
broadcasting.</font></p>
<p><font size="4"> More than ever, there is a pressing need
to support independent media in Haiti that is reporting
accurately from the ground on this powerful upsurge of
popular protest.</font></p>

Lavalas</em> Political Organization
salutes the courage and determination of
the Haitian people who decided to rise
against the misery, hunger, exclusion
and corruption that have been the
hallmarks of this government. With the
skyrocketing cost of living already
intolerable, the government is adding
fuel, gasoline, and kerosene to the fire
to completely destroy any hope among the
population. Enough is enough.</span>
<div>
<p><span>The cauldron of corruption is
tipping, and we need to completely
overturn it at this juncture so that
finally the Haitian people can find
some room to breathe. Stealing
elections is one thing; having a
mandate to protect the well-being of
everyone is another. Stealing
elections in order to continue
stealing from the state coffers is
one thing; providing security for
all Haitians is another. Too much
deception, too many lies. Enough.</span></p>
<p><span>The cauldron of corruption and
lies has been boiling non-stop 24
hours a day. The time has come to
overturn it for Haitians to begin to
see the light of peace. Haiti is for
all Haitians. Why are members of the
police force being exploited and not
getting paid while those who stole
the “PetroCaribe” funds, the
“petrothieves,” are becoming richer,
more arrogant, more cynical,
refusing to hear and see? Members of
the police and government workers
cannot continue to be used for
others to profit.</span></p>
<p><span><em>Fanmi Lavalas</em> is
certain that when the cauldron of
these assassins is overturned, peace
will spread all over the country.
This is why <em>Fanmi Lavalas</em>
is asking the population not to
reverse course, not to demobilize,
not to listen to messages of
deception until the country is
liberated from these criminals.</span></p>
<p><span>All of us who thirst for peace
need to come together as one to
bring about the birth of liberation.
Yes, Yes, after suffering comes
deliverance.</span></p>
<p><span>Alone we are weak</span></p>
<p><span>Together we are strong</span></p>
<p><span>All together</span></p>
<p><span>We are <em>Lavalas</em></span></p>
<p><span>Executive Committee of <em>Fanmi
Lavalas</em></span></p>

for Haiti Action Committee</span></p>
