Bien entendu avec un impact différent et bien moindre qu’autrefois dans les années 2004-2006 quand ils faisaient trembler la capitale. Il s’agit de William Baptiste dit Ti Blan, condamné à 14 ans de détention, et de Evens Jeune (alias Ti Kouto) dont on a annoncé le décès au Pénitencier national vendredi. Aristide est renversé le 29 février 2004 sous une pression conjuguée nationale et internationale. A l’intérieur, un mouvement plus de déstabilisation que de subversion conduite par les partis traditionnels et l’élite économique avec comme bras armé quelques dizaines de paramilitaires venus de la République dominicaine voisine. Tandis que c’est un avion militaire américain qui embarquera pour l’exil le président arraché de sa résidence au beau milieu de la nuit en même William Baptiste, alias « Ti Blan », condamné à 14 ans de prison Dread Wilmé, tué en juillet 2005, par les forces onusiennes temps que des troupes canadiennes et par le tribunal criminel (AlerteHaiti) (photo parue sur une banderole) françaises investissaient également le pays. Mais coup de théâtre. Contrairement à toute attente, les quartiers populaires développent une stratégie inconnue jusque-là : la prise d’otages. Du moins c’est de ces bidonvilles, que jusqu’alors l’on pouvait fréquenter presque sans danger, que surgissent des gangs armés qui vont mettre la capitale en coupe réglée.

  • Haiti News Roundup: September 12-19, 2005
    HAITI NEWS ROUNDUP: SEPTEMBER 12-19, 2005 Churches urged to renew action for peace and healing 19/09/05 Ekklesia, UK Churches have a special responsibility to further reconciliation in broken societies and to promote peace, say the leaders of the World Council of Churches (WCC), which brings together the major Protestant, Orthodox and Anglican faith communities across the globe, and associates closely with the Roman Catholic Church. The 25-member WCC executive committee was meeting at the Bossey Ecumenical Institute, near Geneva, from 13-16 September 2005, in its last full gathering prior to the WCC 9th Assembly in Brazil in 2006. In a policy statement on the dangerous proliferation of small arms and light weapons, the WCC urged churches to exercise their “unique potential” to curb demand for guns and “to affirm God's vision of life in peace and fullness” by “changing public attitudes, shaping community values and becoming a public voice against gun violence.” Small arms are used in the vast majority of the estimated 350,000 of violent deaths throughout the world annually. In 2006, the WCC will lead an ecumenical delegation at the United Nations Small Arms Review Conference. Referring to the critical situation in Haiti, the WCC also expressed its solidarity with the churches there and its “concern for the current unstable political situation”, as well as the extreme poverty, violence and human suffering experienced by the population. The World Council of Churches has closely followed developments in Haiti in recent years and has led ecumenical efforts for mediation and healing in the divided society.

Pwofite ètT Ou”(Avail YOourself): The Minoritarian Politics of Haitian Music in Paris Abstract Paris functions as a diverse site in which Haitians and French Antilleans come together most significantly in relation to musical interaction. Haitian music in Paris, especially konpa, is frequently paired with Antillean music, specifically zouk, whether it be on the radio, as Antillean stations frequently co-opt konpa or in dance clubs for deejayed events. Thus, konpa and zouk share modes of dissemination and consumption, and are frequently grouped together. These mutually shared spaces of musical consumption enable and promote the formation of connections between Antillean and Haitian communities, enabled by a minoritarian politics rooted in shared colonial histories and coupled with strict contemporary stratifications that are challenged by musical taste. This dissertation explains how the musical results of these interactions, histories, and relationships are distinctly Haitian, but transnational, complicated, and evocative of a new understanding of postcolonial relation in the Caribbean diaspora.
