“It is up to Haitians to defend Haiti”, said economist Fritz Alphonse, president of the Montana Agreement, who addressed the nation on Thursday evening on the global situation of the country marked by a multidimensional crisis. This intervention follows some information that the Haitian government is about to request a military intervention in Haiti instead of finding a consensus on the priorities to adopt to straighten the national boat.
It is a national shame to see that political actors prefer a military intervention in Haiti instead of finding an agreement to get the country out of the economic, social and political crisis, to turn the page of the past and to establish a climate conducive to public freedoms, hammered the former governor of the central bank who urges the protoganists not to commit again the same mistakes as in the past, especially in 2004 with the arrival of the soldiers of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (Minustah) after the forced departure of President Jean Bertrand Aristide.
The economist Fritz Alphonse Jean maintains that the presence of the UN mission (Minustah) in Haiti has cost the country more than 6.8 billion dollars, while, he stresses, this sum could be used in the construction of hospitals, universities and schools.
A military intervention can in no way facilitate a resolution of the crisis, said Fritz Alphonse Jean who calls on the forces of the nation to combine their efforts to achieve a national consensus to address the problems faced by members of the population.
