Tout le monde a encore en mémoire les émeutes qui ont secoué Haïti début juillet suite à une annonce inopinée du gouvernement qui voulait augmenter les prix des carburants. Depuis, beau-

coup d"eau a coulé sous les ponts. Mais la population, elle, n"a pas pour autant baissé la garde et elle reste toujours vigilante. Aujourd"hui, elle demande des comptes sur la gestion de l"argent de PetroCaribe. Les observateurs poli- tiques y voient déjà les prémices du de l"histoire d"Haïti. La société civile, quant à elle, s"est mobilisée principale- ment à travers les réseaux sociaux, et elle ne compte pas lâcher prise jusqu"à ce que toute la lumière soit faite sur ce qui semble être un détournement de grande ampleur.

held every year in the U.S., with local positions, special elections, and ballot initia- tives taking place almost each year. The General Elec- tion, though, is essentially every other year, on the even numbered years. This is when various ranking local, state, and federal seats are decided.

In Florida, the primary elec-

tion is held 10 weeks prior to the General Election to determine which candidates will represent their respective parties (ie. Democrat, Repub- lican, Independent, etc.).

As the paper bag covering the new street sign was re- moved by Assemblywoman Rodneyse Bichotte, the crowd began singing the Haitian national anthem. Those gathered said the decision, along with the re- cent ceremonial City Council resolution that designat- ed Flatbush Little Haiti, meant that Haitians" contribu- tions to New York will not be forgotten. “These street co-namings are the equivalent of placing the City Council majority leader. “We have placed here and the future to always know that this is a Hai- tian community." But the naming of Jean-Jacques Dessalines Boulevard — along Rogers Avenue between Farragut Road and Eastern Parkway — and the neighborhood designa- tion were not without complications. Some felt Little Haiti was redundant because the area had previously been christened Little Caribbean by another group. And the street co-naming was delayed because of Dessalines"s controversial history. After Haiti"s victory against France, Dessalines be- French wanted to re-enslave the country, Dessalines called for the slaughter of all remaining white French- men.

This After a hearing, more research and behind-the-scenes pressure, the City Council approved the co-naming. “The Council leadership team moved forward with the street renaming after a review of the issue and en- gaging with the community," said Jennifer Fermino, a spokeswoman for Corey Johnson, the City Council speaker. Ms. Bichotte, the assemblywoman, noted Dessalines"s contributions to world history: He helped Haiti be- come the second country in the Western Hemisphere to free itself from colonial rule and inspired other na- tions to pursue freedom. The Constitution that Des- salines created advocated equality and more equal distribution of wealth.

The massacre, supporters say, must be viewed in the that the leaders of other countries committed that -

event. No longer will Jean-Jacques Dessalines be dis- regarded or portrayed merely as a tyrant." Not everyone supported honoring Dessalines. Street co-namings should be limited to local people who af- fected life in New York City, said Seth Barron, asso- ciate editor of City Journal and project director of the

NYC Initiative at the Manhattan Institute.

“It seems like at a time when we are being careful about who we celebrate and commemorate, the ques- tion remains of why him?" Mr. Barron said. “I don"t know why New York City has to name a street for someone who is obscure to most Americans." Organizers say they hope the street will help educate the public. Flatbush is a center for Haitian culture in the United States, and Brooklyn has 90,000 Haitians, the third-highest concentration in the country, only after two counties in South Florida, according to an analysis by the Migration Policy Institute, a Washing- ton-based think tank. bounded by Avenue H, Brooklyn Avenue, Parkside Avenue and East 16th Street. It is still full of restau- rants and retailers that cater to Haitians, but many Haitian business owners and residents are facing the pressures of rising rent. In 2000, 30 percent of the country"s Haitian popula- tion lived in New York State, many of them in Flat- bush. That number fell to 20 percent in 2016. Little Haiti BK, the group that organized Little Haiti, wants to use the designation to help small businesses remain in the neighborhood, erect a monument and build a cultural center. The designation means more than ever, speakers said on Saturday, given recent slights by President Trump against Haitians and his decision to end a temporary program that allowed Haitians to live and work in the United States following the devastating 2010 earth-

quake.“Our human dignity is under assault," Representative Yvette Clarke said.Marie Prosper, 35, a security analyst, saw the street co-naming as a chance to come together in spite of recent political developments.“This corner is where the history of Haiti and the history of the United States meet," Ms. Prosper said. “It represents the power of our ancestors and their strength."

drive."

The forged checks were from the Bank

of America account tied to the family business. Cook's father says while his son used to have signing authority to the company's 10 business accounts, that power was taken away when his

employment was terminated and the signatures on the forged checks were not his.After an investigation, it was found that between Jan. 23, 2017 to May 25, 2018, 89 checks from three separate business accounts were forged and signed "Kevin Cook."The

younger Cook deposited all 89 checks into a SunTrust bank account via mo- bile app with a phone number regis- tered through Kevin George Cook.

When informed of the forgeries on

May 30, Bank of America canceled

all checks related to the accounts, ac- cording to the police report. However, as he was unaware the accounts were closed, Kevin George Cook attempted to deposit nine more checks for a total of $8,997 into his SunTrust account.

After his arrest, the younger Cook ad-

mitted to writing the checks with his father's name and depositing them to his own account to pay for his living expenses.

Jovenel Moïse et les inaugurations :

beaucoup de bruit pour pas grand-choseLe message sera au Labor Le #Petrocaribechallenge prend de plus en plus d"ampleur. Après le Montréal, c"est au tour d"un groupe de citoyens haïtiens résidant aux Etats-Unis qui décident de s"impliquer, le 3 septembre pro-

chain, lors du déroulement du Labor Day Carnival à

Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn.

Sous l'impulsion de Junior Jean-Baptiste, ces mem- bres de la diaspora vont se poser la question " Kote kòb Petrocaribe a ? » au cours de cet événement qui réunit au moins trois millions de personnes chaque année. Rejoint par la rédaction de Loop Haïti, Junior Jean-Baptiste a fait savoir que la diaspora ne sera pas épargnée par la dilapidation des fonds Petroca- ribe. " Nous visitons régulièrement le pays et nous pou- grante de structures telles que les hôpitaux. La di- face à mouvement citoyen », a-t-il déclaré. Il cite l"exemple de l"ex ministre de la santé, Mme Gédéon Amédée, qui a trépassé la semaine dernière pour n"avoir pas obtenu de soins à temps suite à des bles- sures subies dans un accident. Junior Jean-Baptiste estime que les fonds du Petro- caribe pouvaient bien servir à développer le pays si les autorités n"en avaient pas décidé autrement. "

Nous avons subi beaucoup de cas d"injustice et de

corruption, mais il faut que les citoyens tracent l"ex- emple pour une fois », continue Junior Jean-Bap- tiste. book, le 26 août, Jean-Baptiste a demandé aux Haï- tiens, qui marcheront sur l"Eastern Parkway pour participer au Labor Day Carnival, d"apporter des pancartes portant des messages réclamant des ex- plications sur l"utilisation des fonds Petrocaribe. " Sweet Micky devrait être le premier groupe haïtien inscrit sur le parcours, selon le tirage au sort. Nous y serons de très tôt pour lui demander des comptes en tant qu"ancien président », a dit Junior Jean-Bap- tiste. Il prépare actuellement, avec un autre collaborateur, au moins 10 000 t-shirts au tag " #Petrocaribechal- lenge » qui seront distribués aux participants haï- tiens. " Les messages seront inscrits en créole, en français et en anglais pour que le monde entier sache que les Haïtiens ne veulent pas s"agenouiller devant leur misère ». Junior Jean-Baptiste qui dirige un groupe réunissant au moins 9 000 personnes sur Facebook a fait savoir que plusieurs centaines membres ont déjà répondu positivement à son appel. Quelque 20 000 personnes ont déjà visualisé sa vidéo. Organisé depuis 1930 à Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, le Labor Day Carnival mobilise près de trois mil- lions de participants chaque année. Plusieurs médi- as internationaux seront présents pour couvrir cet

événement.
