Haiti - Crisis : The Catholic Bishops of Haiti evoke a fratricidal war 29/09/2019 10:52:23
Extract from the letter of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of Haiti : "We Catholic Bishops of Haiti, we salute you all with respect and affection in the heart of the indescribable distress that we have lived as a people and citizen for more than a month in the country. It's like we're in a state of fratricidal war. We got there because of the behavior of elected officials and leaders. [...] Despite our repeated calls for almost two years, Haiti's current leaders, politicians and elected officials remain deaf, busy managing their power, privileges and petty interests. Meanwhile, some sectors continue to grow rich on the backs of the poor who can neither eat nor pay for their children's schooling. Is there violence more atrocious than living constantly in insecurity ? Is there worse than the misery that takes away all hope ? No people must accept misery, poverty and violence in a defeatist way. Therefore, the highest officials of the State must assume their responsibilities to ensure the smooth running of the country and the institutions; they are morally responsible for the safety and well-being of the population. And, in the first place, the President of the Republic. If the country is on fire, it is because of their irresponsibility. How can they not know what everyone knows ? In a jump of awareness that they measure the extent of their accumulated failures and draw the consequences. It is now that they must act to change lives in Haiti. Tomorrow will be too late." Given to Lilavois at the headquarters of the Episcopal Conference of Haiti on September 27, 2019. " Follow the signatures of: Mgr.
