Preval sees Latortue's nationalistic position against MINUSTAH as a pure demagoguery. Haiti's president-elect calls on Brazilian troops in UN mission to stay in Haiti
Visiting Haitian president-elect Rene Preval asked Brazil on Friday to keep its troops in Haiti as part of the United Nations stabilization mission, local media reported. Preval, who arrived in Brasilia on Friday as part of his American tour, asked Brazilian legislators in a speech in Brazil's congress, to support the decision taken by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to keep the troops in his country. Later on Friday, Preval met President Lula and Interim Foreign Minister Samuel Pinheiro Guimaraes. He is to stay in Brazil until Saturday, when he will fly to Chile to attend the inauguration ceremony of new Chilean President Michelle Bachelet . A former ally of deposed president Jean Bertrand Aristide, Preval narrowly gained victory as the candidate of the Lespwa (Hope) party in the country's elections in February, after a two-year-long social and political crisis. Brazil's troops played an important role in the elections, making sure that Preval was declared victor. Preval obtained just short of 50 percent in the first round, and the situation had once become tense as other candidates refused to recognize his victory. Preval is due to take office on March 29, but there are signs that he might postpone his inauguration till the completion of the second round of legislative elections. Haiti's constitution prescribes that the inauguration must take place before a full parliament. Brazil is the first stop of Preval's American tour, which will also take him to Chile, Argentina, and the United States.

Haiti's Preval to meet with Bush posted on: Thu, 9 Mar 2006 PORT-AU-PRINCE, March 9, 2006 (AFP) -
Haitian president-elect Rene Preval announced Thursday he would travel to the United States this month to meet with US President George W.
Bush. Meanwhile, the head of the Provisional Electoral Council said a second round of legislative elections, originally scheduled for March 19, will likely take place on April 23. The delay could postpone's Preval's March 29 inauguration, because the constitution calls for the swearing in to take place before parliament. Preval will visit the United States March 27-28 to meet with Bush and officials from the Organization of American States, World Bank and International Monetary Fund. He will also visit the United Nations in New York. Preval, who was elected in the first round of February's presidential election, departed Thursday on a South American tour to Brazil, Chile and Argentina. Brazil heads the UN Stabilization Mission (MINUSTAH) that was sent to Haiti after then president Jean Bertrand Aristide fled amid an uprising in February 2004.

Why didn't he do this during his first term? Was he just ignorant? Incompetent? Or just not care since Aristide was backing up and Aristide was above the Constitution?

"On A Positive Note"- Part 18 of 50 There have been rumors that Wyclef is preparing to run for president of Haiti in the next 5 years just as Simeus is also preparing for the same with the hope that the legislative branch will approve dual citizenship. Some people say that Wyclef's education is not adequate to make him a competent president, others say his name recognition and good deeds are a "BIG PLUS". People say Simeus has done a lot of good things for the region that he came from in Haiti. But others say that Simeus is in the hands of the Republican Party; therefore, they can't trust him. Anyway let's take a look at these two individuals and you can decide yourself:
About Wyclef Jean
Wyclef Jean (born October 17, 1972 in La Plaine, Haiti) is a rapper, producer, and member of the superstar hip hop trio The Fugees, known now for a series of high-profile hit singles. Born in Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti, Jean moved to Brooklyn when he was nine, then to Northern New Jersey, where he began playing the guitar and studying jazz in high school. In 1987, Jean, his friend (so close they told people they were cousins, growing up) Prakazrel Michel (Pras) and his classmate, Lauryn Hill, formed a group called the Tranzlator Crew before becoming The Fugees. Wyclef worked as a cabdriver. The Fugees signed to Ruffhouse Records and released their debut, Blunted on Reality, but the album was panned and sold poorly. Their eclectic follow-up, The Score, however, sold over 17 million copies worldwide and turned the trio into international superstars. Jean soon announced plans to begin a solo career with 1997's Wyclef Jean Presents the Carnival Featuring the Refugee All-Stars (more typically called simply The Carnival). The album's guests included Hill and Pras along with Jean's siblings, the I Threes (back-up vocals for Bob Marley), Neville Brothers and Celia Cruz. The album was a major hit, as were two singles: "We Trying to Stay Alive" (adapted from The Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive") and "Gone Til November" (recorded with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra). Jean went on to work with artists including Santana, Tevin Campbell, Cypress Hill, Bounty Killer, Whitney Houston, Destiny's Child, Sublime, Simply Red, Mya, Sin�ad O'Connor, Kimberly Scott, Mick Jagger, Canibus, The Black Eyed Peas and Eric Ben�t. The Fugees remained in limbo during this time, with the follow-up to The Score being continually postponed as all three members cultivated solo careers. Jean's second solo album was The Ecleftic: 2 Sides II a Book, recorded with guests Youssou N'Dour, Earth, Wind & Fire, Kenny Rogers, The Rock and Mary J. Blige. The critical reception was mixed, with many calling the album scattershot and too far-ranging to be cohesive. Jean's third album, Masquerade, was released in 2002 and sold well, though critics frequently panned it. His fourth album was The Preacher's Son, an album that Wyclef considered a continuation of his first album, Carnival. In 2003, Jean produced rapper Jin's first single Learn Chinese. In 2004, he released his fifth album, entitled Sak Pas� Presents: Welcome to Haiti (Creole 101) (released in the United States by Koch Records). A freewheeling album that is something of a return to his Caribbean roots, most of the songs on the album are in his native language of Haitian Creole or Kreyòl. He also covered Creedence Clearwater Revival's song "Fortunate Son" for the soundtrack of The Manchurian Candidate. Jean also produced and wrote original songs for the original soundtrack to Jonathan Demme's 2003 Documentary "The Agronomist", a film about the legendary Jean Dominique, an active man of the people of Wyclef's homeland, Haiti. In the same fashion, Jean crafted the music for the documentary Ghosts Of Cite Soleil [1], in which he found himself on the phone with a young and notorious gang leader in Haiti wishing to leave the life of violence and follow Jean's footsteps and pursue a career in rap. In 2005, Jean earned a Golden Globe nomination for his track entitled "Million Voices" featured on the soundtrack to the film Hotel Rwanda. Jean has been active in his support of his native country and created his own foundation Y�le Haiti[2] to provide humanitarian aid and assistance to Haiti, which is currently the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. Y�le is a non-political organization intended to empower the people of Haiti and the Haitian diaspora to rebuild their nation. "The objective of Y�le Haiti is to restore pride and a reason to hope, and for the whole country to regain the deep spirit and strength that is part of our heritage." -Wyclef Jean Television Appearances
Performed "If I was President" on Chappelle's Show season 2. This unreleased acoustic song is a social commentary against war spending, media bias against voices of dissent and asks America to "tell the children the truth" about Christopher Columbus, Marcus Garvey, John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King. However the album version of this song didn't include the truth mentioned previously. Its chorus goes: "If I was president, I'd get elected on Friday, assassinated on Saturday, and buried on Sunday"
Appeared for a second time on Chappelle's Show in a parody of "Making the band" with P Diddy. 2005. Appeared on Season 5 of The Apprentice. Did a rap, "Rubbleman", with the winning team, Excel, as their reward for winning task five.
Also in 2005, he played a gang leader who leads his group on an assault on the station house in Third Watch. Wyclef, Pras, and Lauryn Hill reunited as The Fugees for an event that was filmed and released as "Dave Chapelle's Block Party" (2006). _________________________________
About Simeus: Dumarsais M�c�ne Sim�us (also Dumas Simeus) was born in 1939, is a Haitian-born and U.S. naturalized businessman from Texas. Simeus has returned to Haiti to be a candidate in the first presidential election since the ouster of Jean Bertrand Aristide. Early life
Simeus was born in Pont-Sond� in Haiti's Artibonite Valley. He is the eldest son of illiterate peasant rice farmers. He grew up working the land in Haiti to feed himself and his 11 siblings. In 1961 His family sold some land so he could fly to the United States to pursue a college education at Florida A&M University. Simeus transferred to Howard University in Washington, DC where he earned a degree in Electrical Engineering. In 1970, he became a US citizen. [1] Then in 1972 he earned an MBA from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. Career
He worked his way up the corporate ladder. He was a financial analyst at Rockwell International and KB Home. A director of Latin American Operations for Bendix, general manager of Hartz Pet Food, France and VP of International Business Development at Atari. [3][4] He would quickly rise in the corporate world, becoming a for several U.S. companies; president of Beatrice Food, Latin America; and eventually president and chief operating officer of TLC Beatrice International Food. In 1984, Simeus started working for TLC Beatrice International Holdings Inc., the $2.1 billion, black-owned food processing and distribution company. He served as President and CEO for two years before leaving in 1992 to buy and run his own business. In 1996, with $55 million financing, Simeus bought Portion-Trol Foods from Flagstar Corp in Mansfield, Texas and renamed it Simeus Foods International Inc. Simeus Foods, based south of Fort Worth manufactures value added food products for national multi-chain restaurants and large institutions like El Pollo Loco, Denny's, T.G.I. Friday's and Burger King in the United States and Canada.[5] Simeus Foods Intl. now generates $155 million a year. In 1999, Simeus established The Simeus Foundation, a non-profit foundation to provide medical care, education and clothing to Haitians. In October 2004-February 2005, he served on Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's advisory board for Haiti. The group made a series of recommendations for Haiti's security, economic development and disaster preparedness. Also in 2004, as Chairman of the organization, Simeus helped launch PromoCapital, Haiti's first investment bank. Simeus is the chairman of RepresentAction, an association, forum and special interest advocacy group. RepresentAction is devoted to research, analysis, strategic planning, communications, campaigns and actions designed to promote the legal, fiscal, economic, social and political agendas and rights of Haitians overseas within Haiti. A group of about 40 U.S.-based Haitian business and civic leaders haved pushed him to run for president. Made Political Donations to
Top 100 Donors/Individual Financial Contributors to Eddie Bernice Johnson for Congress - $1000 Awards and Recognition
2000 - Outstanding Entrepreneurship Award, The Institute of Caribbean Study
2003 - Distinguished alumnus, The University of Chicago Graduate School of Business Run for Haitian Presidency
After months of speculation, Simeus decides to make a run for Haitian Presidency in August 2005. Simeus' political platform includes making it easier for companies to invest in Haiti, promoting jobs, and rooting out corruption by making government accountable. Simeus said "I want to create a Haiti where people are proud to stay because there are opportunities." ... "I want a Haiti where there is access to capital for the average guy, for the poor guy who was born in a hut like I was born in." During his campaign he runs into a few challenges. His status as a dual national has become a challenge. Simeus says he still has Haitian citizenship despite taking the US Oath of Allegiance, which renounced all other citizenships. The Haitian Electoral Board disagreed. Eventually this matter was taken to the Haitian Supreme Court. The Haitian Supreme Court recently ruled that Simeus could place his name on the ballot, but he still faces election council challenges to his candidacy and a threat of prosecution alleging false candidacy claims on election papers. Article 135 states a presidential candidate must "be a native-born Haitian and never have renounced Haitian nationality," and have resided in the country for five consecutive years before the election. Another challenge is his public acceptance. On a campaign rally, he was cordially received in Solino, a crumbling and crime-plagued neighborhood of the Haitian capital Port au Prince. But when his tour reached the Bel Air neighbourhood, a stronghold for supporters of ex-president Aristide, dozens of angry men and women rushed onto the streets, hurling rocks and chunks of concrete at Mr. Sim�us's car, forcing him to flee.
His lack of public acceptance may have to do with his extensive ties to the Bush administration. Simeus served on Jeb Bush's Haiti Task Force. Simeus is a major Republican Party donor. His campaign manager, Robert Allyn, worked on the campaigns for George W. Bush, and Mexico�€�s president Vincente Fox, in the Bahamas and in Indonesia. On Sep. 27, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, 6-hour visit to Haiti, publicly and pointedly called on Haiti�€�s interim government to hold �€�"inclusive�€� elections. Rice pressed de facto Prime Minister G�rard Latortue for Sim�us to be readmitted to the race. On Oct. 11, the Supreme Court ruled in Sim�us�€� favor, ordering the CEP to put the Texan back on the ballot. Dumarsais Simeus lost the election and has seemingly thrown his support towards the winner of the election, President-designate Rene Preval. Family
Simeus is married and a father of three. He has brought 40 relatives to the United States but his parents remain in Haiti. _____________________

For what I have read so far, The treaty is not that bad after all. The treaty mentions only how MINUSTAH will supervise and take charge of reforming a corrupt Haitian Police Force. I think it's a very good thing. I haven't read anywhere so far where the sovereignty of Haiti is in danger. Why all this noise? If anyone has more info, please post it on this site.

G. Simon, That treaty makes it impossible for the executive branch to sign bi-lateral and/or multi-lateral agreements with any country without the approval of MINUSTAH. Listen, that treaty does not just give MINUSTAH the power to oversee PNH's affairs, but also the power to infringe on the executive branch. Did you know that the Minister of Justice wrote an open letter yesterday to Mr. Latortue to let him know that that treaty encroaches on the constitution? And he, the minister of justice, will encourage the authorities of the country not to uphold that treaty. Talking about a scheme. Now, my question is : How could Mr. Latortue sign such a treaty? Well, he claimed that he did not read the whole thing. Should we to assume that Mr. Latortue is signing papers without reading them? Could he possibly have "sold" our country's sovereignty away? Doesnt Mr. Latortue know that before one affixes his signature on any piece of paper one must read its content? So sad. Patriotically

Ex-Haitian soldiers threaten violence over back pay Mon 6 Mar 2006 7:21 PM ET
By Joseph Guyler Delva PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, March 6 (Reuters) - A group of
former soldiers threatened on Monday to stage violent protests
to force Haiti's government to come up with years of back pay
they say they are owed. The threat was emblematic of some of the many challenges
facing President-elect Rene Preval, who was declared winner of
a chaotic election in Haiti last month and will soon lead an
impoverished nation awash in firearms where the rich and poor
are divided by hatred. The claim that ex-soldiers are still owed several years of
back pay has never been disputed by the government. Former
President Jean-Bertrand Aristide disbanded the military in
1995. "We are going to take action if we don't find the right
answers to our demands," Jean Fito Moise, a spokesman for the
group of former soldiers, told a news conference. "We have to get paid without any further delay," he said.
"Otherwise, the government will be responsible for any violence
which may result from this situation of frustration." Moise was one of about 100 ex-soldiers who gathered outside
a government office that deals with matters involving
demobilized troops. "We are not looking for trouble. But we also have a family
to feed," said Joseph Noel, a former corporal. "We are not
violent, but hunger and frustration can trigger violence." Haiti's ramshackle capital has been plagued by armed gangs
and kidnappings since long before Preval's election. The
63-year-old agronomist faces staggering security problems in
the Caribbean nation, where 80 percent are unemployed and
incomes average just $400 per year. Following Aristide's ouster in an armed revolt in February
2004, Haiti's former military leaders said 10 years of salary
was owed to several thousand soldiers. The government eventually agreed to disburse more than $24
million in arrears payments, according to former Col.
Jean-Claude Jeudy, the commissioner in charge of the government
office on demobilized troops. But only about one third of the
money has been paid so far. "We wish we could come here one day and tell everybody
'come and pick up your check.' But the government does not have
all the money available now. We have to pay gradually as the
government has the money available," he said. "I don't think the problem can be solved with violence. I
urge the ex-soldiers to give up all desire to engage in
violence, it can only spoil everything."

in the united states, if a soldier is tired and has been granted a pension, but later proved to have been a spy for another country, then not only he would stop receiving his pension, but he would also face criminal actions. what does that prove? it proves that getting a pension is pre-conditioned on honest service rendered. let's look at the case of the former haitian soldiers to see if they meet that pre-conditional clause. the army is intended to protect the territory, and the rights and citizens both from internal and external enemies: did the haitian army protect the haitian people from external enemies? the trujillo governement killed thousands of haitians, but no attempt on the part of the haitian army was made to stop the massacre. on the contrary, our military officers were parading with dominican protitutes as trophies during their regular dance-balls. did the haitian army protect the haitian people from internal enemies?:
in 1987, in the presence of dessalines barracks soldiers, the macoutes massacred many awaiting voters at carrefour paillant, there was no interference from the soldiers and no pursuit of the people involved. in 1988, both colonel paul and casimir knew of the saint jean bosco church massacre, they both related that information to then-father aristid, but failed to intervene as required by their civic obligation. rather than blaming themselves for dereliction of duty, they shifted the blame to aristid as if had an obligation to back down from criminal threats. imagine state of black america if dr king were to back down from threats from white-supremacist groups? now, we have proven that the soldiers have not been faithful to their bargains. to really undersatand my point, let's look at A and B that get into contract. if A violates the abiding terms of its part of the contract, then such action invalidates the obligation of B. in other words, if pension is pre-conditioned on honest service rendered, then a failure to render honest service invalidates one's right to a pension. as demontrated, the people. did not get what they were promised, then they cannot abide to what they have promised either. if we were to reward an engineer for designig faulty bridges that keep on colapsing, then what incentive is there to encourage the construction of stronger and stronger bridges? since, the soldiers did not provide honest service, then the state does not owe them anything. the contract is automatically annuled upon the violation of the pre-condition which is clearly the case of the former soldiers. P.S: i am a veteran of the united states of american, and i am speaking as a soldier myself. i was not comparing king to aristid, i mentioned him just to clarify my point!

Observer keen, I think the situation is even worst. These folks(ex-FADH) aren't asking for pension, but for back pay for the last ten years. Years that they did not work for the government. If they want their pension, they have a point. But if they want back pay, they must be kidding. In your earlier piece, you mentioned that they did not hold their end of the bargain. I am willing to cut them some slacks. Do you know why? Because their jobs have never been to protect the country and/or the nation. On paper it is, but in reality it is not. This said, they did their job. No matter how poorly. If your output as an employee is poor, and management decides to keep you on the job. They have an obligation to pay you. And after a number of years, if it's company policy, you might be entitled to some pension. That's a given. But insisting on getting back pay for years they did not work. That must be a joke. Only in Haiti you'll hear stuff like that. And guess what, the interim government did pay some of them last year. Probably that's why they feel entitled to threaten violent actions to get their arrears. Only in Haiti. Only in Haiti, man. Patriotically

my argument is to show that we owe them nothing for there was no honest service rendered. no pension, NADA.
They should learn a trade. what backpay? were they in barracks during all that time?

And, that's the reason why MINUSTAH can�€� leave Haiti for another 20 years. As much as I hate that MINUSTAH is on our land, we need the UN to train a police force that will serve the people and keep these former FAD�€�H in their places. We need the constitution to guarantee that all former soldiers, no matter how old they are can be search at any time for weapons to make sure that these old farts do not go on any blackmailing of the people and their democratically elected government. As for getting back pay, they are entitled to nothing since they are the cause of the failure of the state. They did not defend the state they swore to protect. Taking your example: as they are incompetent in performers, they were fired, but they are still entitled to their pension. - as a result of their incompetence, the firm went belly-up; done and bankrupt, they ruined their pension funds; the firm was sold out to the lowest bidder(as opposed to the highest); there is no money; new owner; new policies; they are done; finished.
