MOLEGHAF: Update on Armed Attacks in Port-au-Prince

Violence in Haiti

Western imperialist-backed paramilitary violence in Port-au-Prince, Haiti has escalated in the last year. As the conditions on the ground worsen, MOLEGHAF puts out this call to allies around the world to stand in solidarity with the Haitian masses. 

Originally published in Black Alliance for Peace.

OCTOBER 22ND, 2024 – On October 20th, 2024, the National Movement for Liberty and Equality of Haitians for Fraternity (Mouvement National pour la LibertĂ© et L’égalitĂ© des HaĂŻtiens pour la FraternitĂ©, MOLEGHAF), a member organization of the Black Alliance for Peace (BAP), issued a statement on the increasing violence perpetrated by the paramilitary group “Viv Ansanm” (or “Live Together”) in Solino, Fò Nasyonal, Nazon, Kriswa and other nearby popular neighborhoods in Port-au-Prince. 

MOLEGHAF asserts that this escalation in paramilitary violence is rooted in the neocolonial Haitian state’s collaboration with the United States and other colonial powers, all working to maintain their criminal political agenda and keep Haiti under occupation: 

The sellout Haitian bourgeoisie, at the service of U.S. imperialism, controls our country. This is Full Spectrum Dominance. The ruling class seeks to break the back of all forms of Haitian resistance. By burning our neighborhoods down, they exterminate our very ability to resist. While the United Nations is allegedly sanctioning and embargoing weapons and bullets, the murderous group “LIVE TOGETHER” magically has access to hundreds of thousands of U.S. weapons. 

MOLEGHAF stresses that “US and Western imperialism” have targeted their neighborhoods since “at least our national uprising in 2021.” The attacks on their communities continue “even though hundreds of Kenyan troops now occupy us”. As the Haitian elite uses paramilitaries to crush popular Haitian resistance, MOLEGHAF describes the deteriorating situation:

None of us are free to leave our homes. We don’t know which way to go. The bloodthirsty death squads kill the poor and unfortunate inside their shacks.They burn through homes and memories. We, the population of Solino, have resisted this barbarism for 1 year and 7 months. Stand with us, We need help! The neocolonial Haitian state lays the basis of these massacres. We cannot continue in this situation.Solidarity is our only hope. 

The Black Alliance for Peace calls on the masses, especially those within the heart of the empire, to stand in solidarity with MOLEGHAF. We reiterate that if there is no peace, justice, and popular sovereignty for the Haitian masses, there can be no Zone of Peace in the Americas. We support MOLEGHAF’s efforts to provide the correct, radical analysis of its current predicament: that the ruling classes in Haiti, under the supervision of Western imperialists, “are seeking to break the back of the popular social movements.” We say NO to US-sponsored violence and repression in Haiti and YES to self-determination and freedom!!

Until the last rock is thrown

Until the last poem is written

Until the last voudou is sung

MOLEGHAF will resist alongside the heroic Haitian people!

22 DE OCTUBRE DE 2024 - El 17 de octubre de 2024, el Movimiento Nacional por la Libertad y la Igualdad de los Haitianos por la Fraternidad (Mouvement National pour la LibertĂ© et L'Ă©galitĂ© des HaĂŻtiens pour la FraternitĂ©, MOLEGHAF), organizaciĂłn miembro de la Alianza Negra por la Paz (BAP), ha emitido un comunicado sobre la creciente violencia perpetrada por el grupo paramilitar “Viv Ansanm” (o “Vivir Juntos”) en Solino, Fò Nasyonal, Nazon, Kriswa y otros barrios populares cercanos de Puerto PrĂ­ncipe. 

MOLEGHAF afirma que esta escalada de violencia paramilitar tiene sus raĂ­ces en la colaboraciĂłn del estado neocolonial haitiano con los Estados Unidos y otras potencias coloniales, todos trabajando para mantener su agenda polĂ­tica criminal y mantener a HaitĂ­ bajo ocupaciĂłn: 

La burguesĂ­a haitiana vendida, al servicio del imperialismo estadounidense, controla nuestro paĂ­s. Es la dominaciĂłn de espectro completo. La clase dominante busca quebrar la espalda de toda forma de resistencia haitiana. Al quemar nuestros barrios, exterminan nuestra capacidad de resistencia. Mientras las Naciones Unidas supuestamente sancionan y embargan armas y balas, el grupo asesino “VIVIR JUNTOS” mágicamente tiene acceso a cientos de miles de armas estadounidenses. 

MOLEGHAF subraya que «el imperialismo estadounidense y occidental» han atacado sus barrios desde «al menos nuestro levantamiento nacional en 2021». Los ataques a sus comunidades continúan «a pesar de que cientos de tropas kenianas nos ocupan ahora». Mientras la élite haitiana utiliza a los paramilitares para aplastar la resistencia popular haitiana, MOLEGHAF describe el deterioro de la situación:

Ninguno de nosotros podemos salir de nuestros hogares. No sabemos quĂ© camino tomar. Los sanguinarios escuadrones de la muerte matan a los pobres y desafortunados dentro de sus chozas. Queman hogares y recuerdos. Nosotros, la poblaciĂłn de Solino, hemos resistido a esta barbarie durante 1 año y 7 meses. Apoyenos, ¡necesitamos ayuda! El estado neocolonial haitiano sienta las bases de estas masacres. No podemos continuar en esta situaciĂłn. La solidaridad es nuestra Ăşnica esperanza. 

La Alianza Negra por la Paz llama a las masas, especialmente a todos ubicados dentro del corazón del imperio, a solidarizarse con MOLEGHAF. Reiteramos que si no hay paz, justicia y soberanía popular para las masas haitianas, no puede existir una “Zona de Paz” en las Américas. Apoyamos los esfuerzos de MOLEGHAF para proporcionar el análisis correcto y radical de su situación actual: que las clases dominantes en Haití, bajo la supervisión de los imperialistas occidentales, «están tratando de romper la espalda de los movimientos sociales populares.» Decimos NO a la violencia y la represión patrocinadas por EEUU en Haití y ¡SÍ a la autodeterminación y la libertad!

Hasta que se lance la Ăşltima piedra
Hasta que se escriba el Ăşltimo poema
Hasta que se cante el Ăşltimo voudou
¡MOLEGHAF resistirá junto al heroico pueblo haitiano!

Apoya la lucha de MOLEGHAF por la democracia en HaitĂ­.
