Less than 48 hours before the first anniversary of the signing of the Tonton Nwèl Accord [December 21 Accord], the Mouvement 29 mars (March 29 Movement), present at the negotiating table on December 21, 2022, is launching a day of mobilization to demand the end of the Tèt Kale-SDP-Fusion-RDNP coalition, following its failure to strictly apply the contenst of the Accord, published in the Journal Officiel de la République, Le Moniteur.
Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who had imposed on himself a deadline of February 7 2023 to leave office, contradicted himself by planning beyond this date. For the leaders of the "Mouvement 29 mars, Résistance pour Haiti" and ASHO (Association pour sauver Haïti) , there is no possible continuity with such a regime after "more than two years of failure."
"The economic slump is acute" and if Ariel Henry remains in place, nap mache pran'l after the funeral on December 21", say the conveners of Thursday's sit-in in the vicinity of the Primature.
The mobilization against Ariel, the "evil of Haiti", begins on December 21. "We must put an end to the destruction of the country. He is the worst Prime Minister Haiti has ever known", organizers told Matin-Débat.
"Lawouze taye banda tout autan soley la poko leve," a representative of ASOH said. The representative is also one of the signatories of the December 21 Accord.
"It's the people who have so far accepted Ariel in power. Roland is dead, and it's up to the army to assume its responsibilities. The December 21 Accord has 21 articles, only article 16 [the High Transition Council] has been applied. "Development, infrastructure, zero balance sheet."
On Thursday, we will bury "with all the decorations" the December 21 Accord with Ariel Henry, the activists concluded. It remains to be seen whether DG Frantz Elbe, freshly returned from Kenya, and the gangs who control the lost territories, in the pay of the Tèt Kale government, will go along with this.
On Thursday December 21, how many more Haitians will die under fire to allow Ariel Henry to violate his own agreement?
