Haiti - Social : The Episcopal Conference denounces the indifference and inertia of the public authorities 06/04/2019 10:30:27
The Episcopal Conference recalls that it had already raised the voice on February 2, when thirty of our compatriots had died off the Bahamas https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-26837-haiti-flash-toll-rising-at-least-28-haitians-die-drowned-off-the-bahamas-update.html a drama that had attracted the attention of the international community including Pope Francis who had prayed for the victims and for Haiti https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-26866-haiti-shipwreck-in-the-bahamas-message-of-pope-francis-to-the-families-and-the-haitian-people.html "[...] we express our sincere gratitude to all those who have been involved in rescue operations launched after the sinking, in order to save the survivors. We turn to families afflicted and affected by these endless griefs to present our deepest sympathies and assure them of our closeness, our prayers and our solidarity. Unfortunately this kind of tragedy has become commonplace since the degradation of the Gourde and security conditions in the country. These shipwrecks and the ensuing deaths do not stop the wave of those fleeing the country in search of a better life and a more dignified life." The Episcopal Conference recalls that since the end of 2017, it has not ceased to raise its voice to draw the attention of the authorities concerned to the alarming situation of life in Haiti. In July 2018 she unsuccessfully urged the Government to take appropriate measures to stop the escalation of violence and hunger "[...] but they did not pay attention. We strongly deplore and denounce the disconcerting and unacceptable indifference and inertia of public officials to the plight of these too many Haitians who live daily with hunger and fear guts. This is why they perish at sea trying to reach the United States of America, or other countries, on makeshift boats because the country is no longer a path of hope for them, but a path of death. [...] so many times, we have urged them to take concrete measures to relieve the misery of the people, to change their lifestyle; but so far, they do as in the past. Thus the socio-economic situation continues to deteriorate terribly and indescribable distress. We are legitimately outraged at this scandal. [...] Haitians ! [...] We can not let our country go to the abyss without reacting [...] Let's do something to save Haiti today! Tomorrow it will be too late maybe. May Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Patroness and Protector of Haiti, come to our aid in our distress and in our efforts to make things change!"
