Could it be that the Government has already made a deal for that goal, and that it is not a deal that will benefit the Haitian people in anyway.

If that's the case than they would not want anyone getting excited about what this gold could mean for Haiti.

Here's Louinel's article.

Thank you Louinel.

GOLD IN HAITI'S FUTURE?

March 25, 2008

I heard a little talk tonight about gold in Haiti's future on Radio Ginen.

I always knew that there was gold in Haiti's past and there will continue to be gold in its future.

The problem is that while the experts are showing excitement over our resources our government remains as if they have nothing to be excited about.

They remain very circumspect about the news as if it does not mean anything to Haiti's development.

We have a nation that feels as if there is nothing to help them hope and see the future optimistic.

Yet we fail to use anything that comes to us positive to help build our national pride and help the people to believe in their land. Perhaps the government may already know that this will mean nothing to the welfare of the people.

This is the only reason we should not speak more enthusiastically about resources in Haiti.

We are so comfortable with international aid that means almost absolutely nothing for poor rural communities in Haiti we cannot even take pride in our potential for wealth.

We will have those communities where gold has been found remaining the same twenty years later while gold is being mined at their gaze. Frankly, I wish to hear some comments on that. Also hear about petrol in HAITI, but government remains quiet about the prospects and what should be done about it. We live in the age when oil is so precious, yet no excitement about the potential discovery of oil in the country.

Our people continue to suffer while awaiting international aid. I wish to hear what will be done to inform the people clearly on the initiatives underway about Haiti's potential mines.
