Several thousand Haitian citizens took part in a large, peaceful march for peace in the streets of Delmas this Saturday. Under the morning sun, participants from Delmas and Pétion-Ville, among other places, marched side by side, united by a common determination: to denounce the violence and insecurity plaguing the country.
Men, women, young people, and children marched, carrying signs and chanting messages in favor of peace. "Nou bouke" (We are united), "Lapè pou Ayiti" (Peace for Haiti), read several signs along the route, reflecting the exasperation of a population suffering from a persistent climate of insecurity.
This initiative was led by a group of religious leaders from various faiths, including Protestant and Vodou.
Through this interfaith mobilization, the organizers sought to unite their voices to launch a call for national awareness. According to them, Haiti cannot hope for a better future without dialogue, unity, and reconciliation.
For the organizers of the march, the time for division is over; now is the time for collective action to rebuild a deeply weakened social fabric. They also called on the authorities, urging them to listen to the voice of the people and take concrete steps to restore security and preserve the dignity of citizens.
In a particularly tense national context, this peaceful mobilization appears as a powerful signal.
It testifies that beyond fear and despair, Haitian society retains vital forces ready to rise up for a common cause: peace.
