Subject: Haitian Independence Day Rally/Forum

What if the so-called Gangs in Haiti were really Revolutionaries?     

    On Sunday January 11, 2025 several members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA) attended the Haitian Independence Day Forum/Rally held at the People United to Serve Humanity (PUSH) headquarters on the South Side of Chicago. The UNIA members in attendance were this author Brother Shaka Barak, UNIA 1st Vice President of the Garvey/Nkrumah Memorial Progressive Division 429, also Division 429 President Clyde Banks and 429 members Randy Evans and Brother Armel. 

    Haiti is a Caribbean nation located in the Greater Antilles archipelago. The nation shares the island of Hispaniola with a counterpart Caribbean nation of the Dominican Republic. The country occupies an area of 10,714 square miles and has a population of 10.8 million inhabitants. In the 1780's a revolt of the Africans enslaved in Haiti waged what became a twelve year revolutionary struggle for total freedom. In year 1804 Haitians under the leadership of people like Boukman, Toussaint L Overture and Dessalines gained not only their freedom but their independence which we were gathered on January 11, 2025 to commemorate. 

    In attendance of the Haiti Independence Day event were about 75 people, with 20 of them from the Haitian community long removed from a life in the Republic of Haiti. Also in attendance was Reverend Jessie Jackson Sr. PUSH founder, Rep. Johnathan Jackson, Dr. Ron Daniel founder of the Haiti Support Project, Monique Clesca Monitoring Bureau Montana Accord Movement; Hon. Judge Lionel Jean Baptiste Coalition of Haitian American Organizations in Chicago; Jocelyn McCalla Senior Advisor Haitian Foundation for Democracy. 

    This article will attempt to answer the question of who are these gangs and what do the so-called gangs want? Why have the gangs united and how much of what we are told in the media is true? We will also attempt to answer the question of why has these youth/gang revolts continued for almost 6 years? The next and perhaps the most important question is who have been the leaders of Haiti and how well have they served the people of Haiti or have they through bad governance contributed to the uprising. Corruption has plagued Haiti and is often backed by the governments of the United States, and France.

These two governments have been Known villain's  in the history of Haiti, why is the media world-wide supporting their point of view as to what is happening in Haiti. Likewise, with the level of corruption that is found in Haiti why do we find African American leadership so quick to support which ever corrupt leader the United States supports. 

    The US occupied Haiti for almost 20 years from 1915 to 1934, and we can easily assume that it was not done in the interest of Haitians.

Why isn't the corruption of political leaders and unscrupulous business men and women pointed out. Are there legitimate reasons why there is so much for the citizens, especially the youth to complain about in Haiti?

If fighting against the corruption is the major reason for the unrest, is the United States governments political leaders black and white unable and unwilling to point the finger at this governments officials when they deserve criticism?

Or is it just business? African Americans don't except the slogan, Africa For the Africans. Africa for the Africans at home in Africa and Africa for the Africans abroad in the African diaspora. If not, is it due to the fact that they fear that they will they lose their office, lose their lively hoods, receive death threats from the hitmen of major corporations or of the government like the FBI or CIA or DEA.

These agencies have certainly helped to rob and steal the natural resources of Haiti that include essential oils, apparel, coffee, cocoa, bitter oranges, and mangoes. Heaven only knows who is tapping into the mining sector in Haiti? That would include bauxite, gold, copper, calcium carbonate, silver, marble and hydro power. With these resources and their being properly developed for the needs of the Haitians, instead of being poor every Haitians could live prosperous, healthy and highly educated lives.     

   Before African leaders can be assassinated they first try to destroy their names and reputations. For those interested in the truth they have to dig deeper for the facts that the tabloids or owners of podcast will not provide us with.

For example, at the center of any talk about the gangs in Haiti is a man named Jimmy Cherizer also know since childhood as Babekyou and not Bar B Q. Born March 30, 1977 he was once a member of the Haitian National Police an elite group that used to lead operations against the gangs. He united the gangs in the G9 Alliance or Federation. Then known as the VIV Ansanm or "living together" they decided to fight against the rich oligarchs that were exploiting Haitians. He said that there are cases of gangs extorting people, raping people, burning down houses but the government allows that to create and maintain chaos to stay in power. He doesn't condone kidnapping and the other atrocities.

Is Jimmy Cherizer walking in the revolutionary footsteps of Toussaint L'Overture and Dessaline or are his statements about fighting a corruption system just an excuse?

We know how seeing black youth with guns fireitens black and white people but what if the image painted of Jimmy Cherizer is wrong? 

Haiti has been without an elected Government since President Jovenelle Moise was assassinated at his private residence on July 7, 2021. Those who orchestrated his assassination are still walking around and it was not Jimmy Cherizer.

Seventeen Columbians and Haitians carried it out but who orchestrated his assassination? Mr. Voltaire was there; present and former TPC members were there; President Biden was in office and Frances President Marcon was still in office.

    If we think Jimmy Cherizer is stretching things around the subject of corruption lets look at the following list of how Haitian Presidents ended their terms over the 221 years of Haiti's independence:

  • overthrown (27),
  • term expired (13),
  • died in power (6),
  • murdered/assassinated/executed (4),
  • suicide (1), 
  • gave up power (1),
  • Female President (1),
  • President for life and died in power (1),
  • President for life and overthrown (1)

The last elected President was Jovenel Moise from 2017 - 2022 when he was assassinated. 

The most recent head of the Transitional Presidential Council (TPC), is Mr. Leslie Voltaire, who was selected during charges of corruption on the part of the TPC members that selected him. Citizens of the US must not be to critical of Haiti, considering that in a few days the man who enters the white house President Elect Donald Trump, is a convicted felon.

Sincerely Yours
