Haiti is desperate for leadership: The political speech Haitians should take seriously

Haiti was once the richest country in the Caribbean, but nowadays, this nation is currently known as the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere simply because of bad Government terms served by previous and current corrupt elected officials in the country. Poverty is breaking families apart from left to right there and the institutions remain weak and improvement remains the same.

When President François Duvalier became the President of Haiti in 1957, the nation struggled and failed to recover its authority, freedom, respect, dignity, wealth, and resources back, simply because of the political crisis and the economic conditions of the Duvalier Dynasty. Widespread corruption remains an impediment to changing that legacy. Even after the Presidential terms served by the Duvalier Regime, the next elected officials who succeed seem to be no different from the previous corrupt elected officials there who failed the nation. Unfortunately, a lack of leadership has caused Haitians across Haiti and across the diaspora to struggle with poor living conditions for years during the 21st century.

On September 7, 2020, the Haitian political leader Werley Nortreus said Haiti is desperate for leadership on the radio. He believes that the future of this nation is now, and the youth or the young people are believed to be the only hope for the country because the previous and current elected officials have failed the nation and its Citizens due to bad Government, except for the Haitian Ancestors who started wars and revolutions that honored the nation and its Citizens. According to reports, Werley encourages young people like him to join him in to fight against injustice, inequality, racism, and mediocrity, and against those who are keeping Haiti down forever in order to heal the nation before it's too late.

“Haiti is desperate for leadership, and it would take a true leader like me to heal this nation. The time is now, and I also think that the youth is the only hope for this nation because I noticed all the previous and current elected officials have failed this nation and its Citizens. The Haitian Ancestors who started wars and revolutions were the only true leaders who honored this nation and its Citizens. The reason I said that it would take a true leader like me to heal this nation in the 21st century is that I know that I am a new Ancestor. Yes, it's true, if you are still living in the 21st century, believe it or not, please understand that you are the new Ancestors”, said Werley.

Studies found that Haiti occupies the western third of the island of Hispaniola, which it shares with the Dominican. This nation is situated on the western side of the island of Hispaniola with a total population of 11,402,528 inhabitants. According to Werley, he believes that this nation is currently known as the poorest country in the western hemisphere and one of the poorest in the world because of bad leadership. Almost 60% of its population lives under the poverty line and more than 40% live in a situation of extreme poverty. Haiti is still recovering from the devastating 2010 earthquake, as well as Hurricane Matthew in 2016. The American Red Cross, the NGOs in the country, and Government officials raised billions of dollars for the earthquake victims but all the money went missing. The United Nations, MINUSTAH, BINUH, and MINUJUSTH helped restore order from 2004 to 2019 but Haitians have exposed them for sexual abuse and exploitation by some of their forces and for introducing cholera in the country which killed thousands across the country. All of this happened simply because of a lack of leadership.

According to Werley, he believes that Haiti is desperate for leadership. He also believes that this nation is desperate for healing and it will take a true leader like him to heal this nation. He also believes that Haiti is a Caribbean country led by foreign countries like the United States and many others that are causing more harm than good. He believes that Haiti is a Caribbean country claimed to be run by a group of corrupt elected officials who are distributing guns and drugs to the territories instead of creating industries to create jobs for everyone. He believes that Haiti is a Caribbean country claimed to be run by mulattos who only want to be in charge of everything in the country. He believes that Haiti is a Caribbean country claimed to be run by NGOs that are making millions of dollars without even doing anything for the country and its Citizens. He also believes that Haiti is a Caribbean country claimed to be run by the United Nations, OAS, World Bank, U.S. Embassy, Core Group, USAID, the French Embassy, the UNICEF, IMF, NED, NDI, IRI, Vatican, and many others. Without forgotten major U.S. news media and others from the international communities that promote negativity instead of positivity.

“I am tired of corrupt Haitian officials who are distributing guns and drugs to the territories so gangs can continue to destroy the nation and the foreign organizations are causing more harm than good. Enough is enough”, said Werley

Haiti is where the majority of its notable elected officials are involved in corruption and illegal activities instead of improving the nation. Among the other challenges that Haiti faces are ongoing recovery from the 2010 earthquake and 2016’s Hurricane Matthew, a cholera epidemic, stalled economic growth, and a highly polarized political climate. Unfortunately, a lack of leadership has caused Haitians across Haiti and across the diaspora to struggle with poor living conditions for years during the 21st century.

“I never knew about racism, discrimination, inequality, and injustice until I visited the United States and noticed how white police officers are killing unarmed black people because of the color of their skin and background. The dream of the Haitians living in the diaspora is to return to Haiti, so they can feel safe, but Haiti got to be stable first in order to welcome them. When I said stable, I am talking about creating industries across the country, so they can have jobs when they are there. Also, the dream of Haitians living in Haiti is to find jobs, so they can stay”, said Werley.
