We have to stop begging...

< Previous | Home | Next >

It is with extreme sadness that I look at the situation of our country.

Recently, Le Nouvelliste posted some pictures of the city hall in Port-au-prince and one cannot stop wondering about the conditions of the country.

Haiti cannot keep on living like an international beggar.Two million here or there is not going to get us out of our situation.

We need to have a concerted effort to save the country.

First and foremost we need to generate revenues.Then we can clean up many areas that would have been beautiful if not for the amount of garbage that is left there.

I have said it before and I will repeat it again, the Haitian diaspora can go a long way in helping the country.

It has to be integrated fully in the national life which implies dual citizenship and other advantages.

If we haven't noticed it by now, we will realize it soon that no white men will help us develop our country.

As a matter of fact, you can be sure of the opposite.

They probably delight themselves in seeing us in a state of perpetual confusion.

To conclude, we need to get together and develop our own strategies to develop our country.

I propose an international conference of Haitians living both in and out of the country.

God bless.
