This is one thing that is current in Haiti, Political Confrontation. This is a country that has had its share of crisis since its independence. Unfortunately, the Haitians have not been able to see that it is costing the country a great deal.

In Haiti, many of our politicians are not really interested in many of the issues that are affecting the population such as good school, health care, security, and others. For most Haitian politicians, what is immediate in their calendar is when will the next election in the country take place.

Because of the constant fight and crisis, the country has not been able to take off really. We need to think the real need for Haiti is not who is write or who is wrong, who is "Lavalace" or who is "Tet Kale", who is "Duvalierist or GNbist". The issue is Haiti and we are all in it

Actually many would tell you this is exactly what we, Haitians, don't have that causes all the suffering.

Thinking, an intellectual exertion aimed at finding answer to question or the solution of a practical problem. Peope think differently an in a variety of ways. For some, they need to distance themselves to see things clearly. The ability to think can also be powerful as many people take the time to think before acting. Here are some memorable quotes regarding thinking that I would like to share with you

Making one person smile can change the world - maybe not the whole world, but their world.

Saying someone is ugly doesn't make you any prettier.

The only normal people you know are the ones you don't know very well.

Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it.

The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.

If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.

Don't choose the one who is beautiful to the world; choose the one who makes your world beautiful.

You can learn great things from your mistakes when you aren't busy denying them. Read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

In life, if you don't risk anything, you risk everything.

When you have to start compromising yourself and your morals for the people around you, it's probably time to change the people around you.

This section of Miami called Little Haiti neighborhood received its unofficial name in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This is following the large increase of the Haitian immigrants who came to the United States due to political crisis in their nation. Now an effort is being made to officially rename the area "Little Haiti" from the historic neighborhoods it largely absorbed over the years.

However there are resistances from many who want to keep the old name Lemon City. Marleine Bastien, executive director of Haitian Women of Miami and Gepsie Metellus, executive director of the Haitian community center Sant La are in support of that move

This is something that many supporters of the Martelly regime would want you to believe. They thing that all these recent demonstrations in the streets or positions taken by some prominent leaders have something to do with the Lavalas regime.

Some as a matter of fact even accused the Lavalas leader of paying some Senators or Deputies for manifesting publicly against the current government

Now do you think that Jean Bertrand Aristide has anything to do with the public protests that have been growing recently?

How can someone manage to understand these two.

Haiti prides itself for being the first black-led republic in the world after he fought and gained its independence in 1804

However, the same Haiti has been dealing with the issue of restavek which is a modern day slavery imposed in one segment of its population.
