Haiti - Politic : Caricom reiterates its regional solidarity to Haiti
27/07/2021 10:28:16

In a video message recorded on the occasion of the funeral of President Jovenel Moise, Gaston Browne President of the Caribbean Community (Caricom), offered his condolences and declared that the circumstances of the assassination of the President of Haiti had shocked the entire Caribbean.

"[...] For us, assassination is an abomination that assaults our sense of humanity and undermines our democracy. There are no circumstances that would justify such planned and malicious murder. We deplore and condemn it strongly and unreservedly [...]"

Browne, who is also the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, assured the Haitian people that the Region stands in solidarity with their country.

"All those, who are responsible, must be brought to justice [...] As no problem can be solved by wanton violence; no problem confronting Haiti has been solved by the assassination of Jovenel Moise. But, the political and civil society groups, and the people of Haiti in general, should not let his tragic death be in vain."

The President of Caricom also declared that Haiti should not be "[...] trapped in a vicious cycle of retribution and recriminations. Instead, the circumstances of Jovenel’s death, must shock everyone in Haiti to seek pathways for peace, stability, and prosperity, whether they were his political friend or political foe."

He urged the Haitian people to fight for a country in which "[...] freedom reigns for the individual and your democratic institutions and values are respected by all [...] Our hand is offered in friendship, support and an enduring admiration for the strength and resilience of the Haitian people, who led a successfully revolution in 1791, freeing themselves from the oppression of slavery."
