World's
laughingstock President Martelly - his Haiti, a
country with more than its share of sadness:
perennially dirt-poor, extremely aid-dependent,
rich in political instability, corruption,
biblical times disease, incompetence and
disaster,
to name only these ones, suggesting that the
Caribbean nation will most likely soon be
transformed into a museum devoted to the study
of failed states - has officially offered
to help elephant-hole, death-hole Democratic
Republic of Congo solve its centuries-old,
interminable, untold number of unbelievable
problems
|
As part of the
African
Union Summit,
which will expire
July 16,
Mr.
Jean
Gardy
Ady,
Minister of Communication
and Special Envoy
to
Haiti,
has communicated
to the African Union
for the President
Martelly
and
Prime Minister,
Laurent
Lamothe,
to provide
immediate assistance
as a mediator
in the
armed conflict between
regular
forces
of the Democratic Republic
of Congo
(DRC)
to the mutineers
of
M23
in eastern
and
northern DRC,
triggering a wave
refugees
destitute and
affected by serious
medical problems.
Meet Our
Excellency
Michel Joseph
Martelly of
Haiti

Mr.
Ady
Jean

if the
DRC
so requests,
the ability
to send

Haitian doctors

ON A PORT-AU-PRINCE
STREET An unidentified walking blind man
this week nearly fell into a long uncovered
underground conduit for carrying off sewage or
rainwater. If the accidental government of
Martelly cannot address something as basic as
this, ultimately preventing the above blind man
and others from injuring themselves, how can it
help solve the Democratic Republic of Congo's
untold number of problems, which, to begin with,
it certainly does not understand? (Photo

The Special Envoy
to
Haiti
has
concluded
his speech by recalling
that President
Martelly
and
his Prime Minister,
Laurent
Lamothe,
are "determined to
participate in the
struggle to end
conflicts
in the world,
and
particularly
on the
African
motherland
.

EXCERPTS FROM
A JULY 14TH 2012 ECONOMIST MAGAZINE NEWS ANALYSIS ARTICLE
TITLED Cuban health care, Under observation - CHOLERA was
eradicated in Cuba more than half a century ago. But on July 3rd
the government announced that the disease had returned,
infecting 53 people and killing three in the south-eastern
province of Granma. Since then unconfirmed reports have said
that up to 15 may have died, and that the outbreak has spread to
Havana, at the opposite end of the island.
The most likely source is Haiti, which since 2010 has
suffered an epidemic that has killed more than 7,000 people,
plus 363 in the Dominican Republic, its neighbour.
