You can be assured that the forces that have been entering and leaving Haiti have been consistently wasting their time. You can take the gang members one by one, and remove them from circulation, and new “gang members” will emerge naturally, spontaneously and automatically, who apparently are nothing more than new fighters for causes that suddenly are not established with clear agendas or we do not want to recognize them.
Rebels without a cause, clandestine fighters, warriors financed by unconfessed interests, or townspeople willing to give their lives for a common cause, call them what you want, but unfortunately, that saying that “when the dog is dead, the rabies are over”, it seems that it does not define any objective of occupation and combat by the neo minustaf, which does not stop having defeats, it seems that in this direction they imitate Vietnam.
It seems that deep down, supranational ideas are what guide the events of not only Haiti but the island, and therefore, the history of “gangs or whatever they should really be called, will not end at least in this 21st century, especially in this era of the new Drake of the Caribbean. Who is not satisfied with Venezuela now threatens Cuba.
One thing is what the press captures and submits to public opinion as news, and another is the event that continues to develop with its own agenda. There are two parallel stories that are brewing in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Sometimes I believe that despite everything that is sold such as violence, gangs, death, underdevelopment, extreme poverty, there are signs of more significant advances of a people who are tired of the bandits who have governed them for decades, something that has not yet happened in the Dominican nation.
When you have already hit rock bottom, the only alternative you have is to begin to rise and it seems to me that this will begin to happen in Haiti, and not because of the invading troops, but by the Haitian people themselves.
The historical courage of the Haitian people and don’t get me wrong, no one can ignore it. Their beliefs, their historical leaders, have left a legacy that has suddenly become prostituted, but definitively, the Haitian people will not give up in their attempts to provide themselves with governments that respect themselves and them. Saving the differences, the same thing happens in the Dominican nation.
The crisis in Haiti is the same crisis that we can see in any town in Latin America and the Caribbean. We do not have to go far, Dominican Republic, you want a crisis of reliability, institutions, credibility, patriotism, values and corruption than the one experienced today in the country.
Well, in the same way you can take, country by country, Latin America and the Caribbean and you will find the same examples, where “democracy” has shown that it has not served to represent its people with dignity.
That those who have come to power in each country have done the same thing, vulgarly deceiving their people, with corruption to the point of being beyond their power, misgovernment everywhere, illicit enrichment, drugs at random. And societies increasingly less committed to the national interest.
So, in the case of Haiti, although it appears to be the most advanced crisis in the entire American continent, perhaps it is the people that is closest to having a prompt solution of greater sustainability, since they have already gone through the worst processes, and have known how to hit rock bottom and remain in that quagmire for a long time.
A different situation awaits many people in America, who still do not know the socio-political dimensions of their own crises. Countries that have managed to have 5 and even 10 presidents in less than 10 years, countries with presidents openly persecuted by the justice of their people. Widespread institutional disasters in most towns in America.
This speech, this narrative does not cling to leftist ideas, nor do they purposely attack issues related to the new right. They simply try to tell the story of the disasters and mistakes that the politicians and parties that have governed our people have achieved, above all they have consistently tired their nations.
Do an exercise, country by country, and you will notice that the bandits have taken over public affairs and that almost all people are tired of the deception and abuse of their politicians and their ruling parties. Partyocracy has failed in America and I do not doubt that this will be the case in the other continents of the world.
We see the fate of the Haitian people with optimism. Not an interventionist optimism, but one that adheres to the right of self-determination of peoples, and that will definitely at any moment make the Haitian people the absolute master of their own destiny.
The immigration issue is the only issue that puts these two peoples who will inexorably share the island into conflict. Historical and cultural reasons and reasons that betray the thinking of true Haitian and Dominican nationalists always try to create a breeding ground to politically capitalize on this issue.
Personally, we have had positions that have ranged from medical assistance to women in labor, regardless of their nationality, to the actual closure and guardianship of the border, to defend clear limits. Not with that poorly made wall, but respecting the historical pillars that territorially delimit both nations.
The stories of both peoples are respectable and invite us to take off our hats and make historical reverence. For a people like the Haitians who knew how to overcome the issue of slavery in the face of great empires. And before the courage and gallantry of the Trinitarians, who knew how to establish and defend national sovereignty and independence.
In the Haitian case, in our opinion, “it is not worth it that the dog is dead, because the rabies will continue,” until the Haitian people themselves are empowered and given the governments, laws and society they deserve. What a thing, the same thing happens in our beloved Quisqueya!
