MOLEGHAF released a statement calling for support of the Haitian masses mobilizing for popular sovereignty and vehemently rejects the continued attempts by the United States and the West to force a military intervention and occupation of Haiti.
Originally published in Black Alliance for Peace.
Since the group of assassins known as the "PHTK" took control of political power, about 13 years ago, the Haitian people have been facing a dire situation, a suffocating situation, where social and economic conditions deteriorate more each day. Clearly, Ariel Henry, the de facto president, who was appointed as prime minister before Jovenel Moïse's assassination on July 7, 2021; is a criminal continuing the imperialist American death project in the country. His bloodthirsty government has established gangs to control all spaces where the people usually organize their lives.
In the political context of recent times, there has been an alliance of armed groups, politicians, and the bourgeoisie, all collaborating to crush any form of popular resistance in the country. Meanwhile, the cost of living is skyrocketing, insecurity is spreading, and life is losing all meaning; there is no refuge, schools are destroyed. The country is descending into chaos with violence and crime, preventing the majority of the population, especially women and peasants, from moving to other departments for supplies. Trade is paralyzed, and bandits seize or violate people, killing the poor and vulnerable. Almost the entire population lacks access to basic necessities. This situation helps us understand, at a higher level, how the imperialist system uses gang warfare to systematically attack collective well-being projects.
At a time when the popular masses are seeking ways to organize themselves, the criminal political agenda is simultaneously seeking ways to renew its power, with de facto President Ariel Henry receiving various types of support for holding fraudulent elections in the country.
These considerations are not only directed towards politicians, we can also extend them to labor organizations and workers' centers that continue to dig their own graves under the leadership of foreign powers. When we witness the dismissal of workers at "Apparel Premium S.A" without salary, social benefits, or compensation, and these workers return home to take loans to meet the needs of their families, we cannot remain indifferent. Furthermore, in the 21st century, we witness multinational investors colluding with the government to confiscate land from peasants in PLENN MARIBAWOU, stealing their land to build the CODEVI factory. Peasants who were once agricultural workers have now become textile workers.
Moreover, in 2023, during the workers' mobilization to demand better living and working conditions, factory owners sent armed groups to shoot at them, resulting in deaths and machete attacks. Others disappear. It's a tragedy.
The American imperialists and their allies use war to continue their exploitation of the oppressed masses. Every day, individuals from these masses fall victim to gang violence, gangs who are under the control of the American embassy. This prevents the masses from finding alternative paths to break the current system. Armed groups under the leadership of Guy Phillipe and others on the international level, such as the CORE GROUP, and on the national level, the government and the bourgeoisie, openly claim they are supporting the same masses who they massacred in 2018, 2019, and 2021 for their own interests. The American imperialists clearly know that the objective is to organize elections to renew their political satellites in power, to better protect their economic interests by plunging even deeper into the neoliberal politics that oppress the masses.
The American imperialists and their allies weakened all political strategies available to the oppressed. Initially, they collaborated with the social democratic movement, aligning with a significant portion of the Haitian “socialists” to continue holding the masses under bourgeois dictatorship. Then they denigrated all symbols of sovereignty, undermining all means for national life. This is one reason why, until today, there is no political party capable of challenging Ariel Henry at the head of the country. It is a form of totalitarian power, where the poor masses are subjugated under the grip of the PHTK. Even democratic words have lost their value.
The masses rose up to give a definitive response and overthrow the Duvalier dictatorship on February 7, 1986, and sought to establish a constitution that explained the true historical significance of democracy. However, on the same date, the American imperialists and puppet politicians trampled on it, causing the date to fall directly into banality. It is important for the masses to consolidate their democratic victories. This is why the masses must not let any enemy groups kill the political and symbolic dimension of February 7.
February 7 is for the masses; the masses must reclaim it. POINT BLANK.
After all these considerations, we in MOLEGHAF will never stop seeking voices and means to unite the masses for a true LEVE KANPE (UPRISING) against Ariel Henry and for the American imperialist death project to end us in our country. We will never stop denouncing the intrigues of the CORE GROUP, BINUH, OAS, EU, within the politics of the country. The current situation demands a true class alliance to uproot the PHTK gang's third version.
Popular masses, WHERE ARE YOU?
Farmers, workers, poets, singers, drivers, mechanics, professors, small merchants in general... WHERE ARE WE?
People of Fort National,
People of Solino,
People of Belair,
People of Carrefour,
People of Martissant,
People of Cité Soleil,
People of Pernier,
People of Martissant,
People of Canaran,
People of Artibonite.... WHERE ARE YOU?
The time has come for us to gather, to overturn this cauldron that has been hanging over us for too long, and has descended on us in the name of the bourgeoisie's bloodsucking.
Our country is for us; we must be able to live peacefully in it.
Long live Haiti!
Long live the resistance of the popular masses!

MOLEGHAF konstate depi lè gwoup asasen « PHTK » yo pran kontwòl pouvwa politik la, sa gen anviwon 13 lane, mas pèp ayisyen an ap fè fas ak yon sitiyasyon malouk, yon sitiyasyon koupe souf, kote Kondisyon lavi sosyal ak ekonomik yo pa sispann detèryore chak jou pi plis. Nou kapab wè klè, Aryèl Anri, Jovnèl Moyiz prezidan defakto te nonmen kòm premye minis anvan yo te sasinen li 7 jiyè 2021, se yon kriminèl k ap kontinye ak pwojè lanmò enperyalis meriken nan peyi a. Toupatou gouvènman sanginè li a tabli fwaye gang li pou kontwole tout espas mas pèp la konn òganize lavi yo.
Kontèks politik la, nan dènye tan sa yo fè pòtrè yon ansanm gwoup ame, politisyen ak boujwa tout plim, tout plimay mete kanpe pou kraze tout fòm rezistans popilè nan peyi a. Pandanstan, lavi chè ap taye banda, ensekrite ap vale teren, lavi pèdi tout sans li, pa gen lwazi, lekòl kraze. Peyi a ap vide desann ak tout boulin nan fon labim. Majorite popilasyon an pa ka sikile, madan sara ak peyizan yo paka sòti nan yon depatman pou al nan yon lòt ak pwovizyon yo, komès yo, san bandi p ap sezi yo, oubyen vyole, touye malere ak malerèz sa yo. Prèske tout popilasyon an pa genyen aksè ak pwodui premye nesesite yo. Sitiyasyon sa kapab ede n konprann nan pi wo nivo, kouman sistèm enperyalis la itilize lagè gang kont gang pou atake sistematikman pwojè byennèt kolektif la. Nan moman mas popilè yo ap chache chimen pou yo òganize yo, se nan menm moman an politik kriminèl la ap chache wout pou l renouvle tèt li nan bay pouvwa defakto Aryèl Anri a tout kalte sipò pou reyalize eleksyon de grenn gòch, eleksyon malatchong nan peyi a.
Konsiderasyon sa yo pa sèlman fèt sou politisyen yo, men nou kapab pote menm konsiderasyon sa yo sou òganizasyon ak santral ouvriye yo k ap kontinye fouye pwòp twou pou antere tèt yo anba dan patwon sousèd san yo. Lè n konstate kijan Apèd revoke ouvriye nan Izin «Apparel Prenium S.A» san prestasyon salè, san akonpayman sosyal, san dedomajman, epi menm ouvriye sa yo tounen lakay yo ap mache achte kredi nan tout kwen pou reponn ak bezwen madanm, mari, pitit yo, nou pa t ap ka pi endinye pase sa. Pou n ale pi lwen, nan gwo 21è syèk sa, n ap asiste kouman envestisè miltinasyonal yo makonnen ak leta nan peyi a kase ponyèt peyizan PLENN MARIBAWOU, vòlè tè yo pou bati izin faktori CODEVI. Peyizan ki te ouvriye agrikòl tounen ouvriye tekstil. Sa n ap dekri la, pa la yè… Pi pre nou la, nan lane 2023, pandan ouvriye yo nan mobilizasyon pou mande yon lòt kondisyon lavi ak bonjan kondisyon travay, patwon yo voye bandi al tire sou yo, sa ki mouri, sa ki pran kout manchèt. Lòt ki disparèt. Se dilere sa.
Enperyalis meriken ak alye l yo sèvi ak lagè pou kontinye mache sou fyèl mas popilè yo. Chak jou ki jou se moun nan mas yo k ap viktim anba vyolans gang sou kontwòl anbasad meriken nan peyi a. Sa anpeche mas popilè yo jwenn lòt altènativ pou kase ren sistèm nan. Gwoup ame sou direksyon Gi Filip ak lòt gwoup ame sou direksyon Babèkyou, Izo, Kempes, Ti lapli, Lanmò san jou, ki gen menm patwon sou plan entènasyonal ki se CORE GROUP ak sou plan nasyonal la ki se LETA ak LABOUJWAZI afiche volonte yo genyen pou akonpaye menm mas popilè sa yo nan lane 2018, 2019, 2021 yo t ap masakre pou fè kè menm patwon sa yo kontan. Enperyalis meriken konnen klèman objektif la se rive òganize eleksyon pou renouvle satelit politik li yo sou pouvwa a, pou pi byen pwoteje enterè ekonomik li yo nan plonje pi fon mas oprime yo nan politik neyoliberal la. Enperyalis meriken ak alye l yo febli tout estrateji politik, yon premye moman sosyal demokratik la makonnen ak yon bon pati nan sosyalis ayisyen an pou kontinye kenbe mas popilè yo nan yon diktati boujwa. Yon dezyèm moman yo krache sou tout senbòl souvrennte, badichonnen tout fòs viv nasyon an. Se youn nan rezon ki lakoz jounen jodia pa genyen okenn pati politik ki kapab bouje enkilpe Aryèl Anri nan tèt peyi a. Se yon fòm pouvwa totalitè, kote mas malere/ malerèz yo ap koukouman anba grif PHTK twazyèm vèsyon an. Menm pawòl demokratik la vin san valè.
Mas popilè yo te leve kanpe pou bay yon kokennchenn repons ak pouvwa diktati Divalye a 7 fevriye 1986, epi chache akouche yon konstitisyon ki eksplike veritab sans dat istorik sa genyen pou demokrasi a. Pandanstan, se menm dat sa enperyalis meriken ak politisyen restavèk pa bò isit pase anba pye, sa ki lakoz dat sa tonbe dirèkteman nan lòd banalite. Li enpòtan pou mas yo konsolide viktwa demokratik yo. Se sa k fè mas popilè yo pa dwe kite kenn gwoup ennmi lavi touye dimansyon politik ak senbolik 7 fevriye.
7 fevriye se pou mas yo, mas yo dwe rekipere l. PWEN BLENK.
Aprè tout konsiderasyon sa yo, n ap di, nou menm nan MOLEGHAF, nou p ap janm sispann chache vwa ak mwayen pou n pote kole nan rasanble mas popilè yo pou yon veritab LEVE KANPE kont Aryèl Anri ak kont pwojè lanmò enperyalis meriken genyen pou fini ak nou nan
peyi a. Nou p ap janm sispann denonse enjerans CORE GROUP, BINUH, OEA, UE, anndan politik peyi a. Sitiyasyon jounen jodia ekzije yon veritab alyans klas pou derasinen twazyèm vèsyon gwoup gang PHTK a.
Mas popilè yo KOTE NOU ?

Pèp Matisan,
Pèp Kwadèboukè,

Pèp Maryani,
Pèp Kanaran,
Pèp Latibonit…KOTE NOU ???
Jou a rive pou n rasanble, gonfle venn nou pou n chavire chodyè sa ki depi dikdantan monte sou non nou, epi ki desann sou non laboujwazi sankoutcha a.
Peyi nou se pou nou, nou dwe kapab viv tèt poze ladan l.
Viv Ayiti !
Viv rezistans mas popilè yo !
Viktim kore Viktim !
