The Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) looks currently like a sinking ship where all passengers are trying to get out from before the worst happens. Pierre Manigat Junior is the latest casualty by becoming the fifth member to resign. On Saturday it was made public that Pierre Manigat Junior would be resigning the CEP, bringing it to just four members. At this point, we can all conclude that January 24, 2016 election day not possible.

Haitian Kreyol:

Pierre Manigat Junior vin senkyèm manm CEP ki bay demisyon

Konsèy Elektoral Pwovizwa a (KEP) sanble kounye a tankou yon bato ki ap desann kote tout pasaje yo ap eseye soti deyò avan bato sa koule. Pierre Manigat Junior se senkyèm manm nan KEP ki bay demisyon li. Nan samdi yo te di ke Pierre Manigat Junior ta dwe kite CEP a. Nan pwen sa a, nou ka konkli ke eleksyon 24 janvye an pa posib.

In Haiti, the ongoing game of controlling those with the most Natural or Injected Power.

Haiti, one of the most interesting countries in the world in term of power struggle. This is a country since its inception in 1804, has been fighting itself. the country took its independence from the French under the notion of freedom, which many believe it is one of the biggest revolutions in the history of the world. However, because of this independence, it seems that Haiti has been put in a unique box. It seems that more than anything the decision has been made that Haiti must be controlled at any cost.

One of the hardest things found by those wanting to control is the individual control. Due to many factors such as volume of the population, what everyone listens to or watches or is associated with, the individual control is almost impossible in Haiti. However, Haiti has been under control. The method used is to control by controlling those with the most natural or injected power. As a result, we often end up with leaders that do not serve the Haitian population. These leaders such as Presidents, Prime-Ministers, Senators, Deputies, politicians, and others are serving others and in the meantime try as much to enrich themselves. They are puppets, taking dictation from their puppet masters. Often these decisions have nothing to do with the interest of the Haitian society.

In the meantime, we as a society continue to dig our own grave, saving those same puppet masters time an energy to do it.

After losing lives and homes, the threat of a cholera outbreak caused further panic among the population in Haiti. 15 cases of cholera were reported in Port-au-Prince when riots began and lasted for days in Cap-Haitien. Five people were reported killed and the UN was asked by protestors to leave Haiti. Answering this, the United Nations stated that the riots were not because of the outbreak, but due to tension over the upcoming elections. They also denied claims that their personnel shot a number of protestors.

Have you ever wondered how can a child learn in such a tough environment. This is the daily reality of many school age children in Haiti. They spend their day in a hot classroom, with no electricity, not even a running fan. The seating is often not comfortable. In some schools such as the public Lycees in particular, you find students standing up, seating in the windows, by the entrance door just to assist class. This is beside other problems you often find in the school system in Haiti such as teachers unqualified for the subjects they are teaching. These teachers are often called "Jack of all trades". Also, just like in the transportation or prison system in Haiti, most classrooms are overcrowded.
