SEEKING HOPE AMIDST HAITI'S SOCIAL ILLS.
By Wilgëens "AfroLatino" Rosenberg.
Seeking stability for a safe and secure Haïti is very crucial any developmental successes in this sovereign nation. The Haïtian people and its politicians must know that it is the most important task which must be achieved in Haïti and its cities before any talk of change can begin. For, Haïti's overall economical and social developments
depend and rely on a politically stable secure nation to prosper. Thus in all sense and
effect, can Haïti reach and achieve those daring 3 S's which will benefit the entire nation as a whole toward a better path of long term self-sufficiency? Be naive not on this
issue that the country's very own politicians are invested in the
instability and security challenges of the poor nation which is preventing Haïti from moving forward .
In Haïti's case, ironically more than most Haïtians know and are aware of the challenges which pose as developmental blockage for Haïti's future. Haïti's often political instabilities have only further more instilled directly and indirectly a sense of neglect for Haïti in the hearts of Haïtian diaspora and other nations. As indeed a socially ill Haïti only creates fear and distrust
among the Haïtian diaspora populations living abroad preventing them from investing and partake in the development of their very own country. As for the actual Haïtian population living in Haïti themselves, they too, feel that their government
has failed them miserably and cannot deliver nor attend on the country's simplest basic needs to thrive efficiently. Thus, this has resulted in Haïti's children heading toward neighboring Dominican Republic for basic rights and necessities their own country have indirectly denied them due to the circumstance of the ill conditions in Haïti.
Haïti's situation has given leeway and as much as it has even allowed to be served as excuses why neighboring nations have come to make of Haïti the Catalyst Pariah estate that it is today in the face of the world. There are very few incentives to invest or gain, either
economically or socially, in an unsafe Haïti. Thus Haïtians and their government need to step up greatly on improving that area which seems in Haïti's case as hopelessly helpless because those same unstable prospects would also prevent foreigners or visitors alike
whom might in fact be prospect investors which in return Haïti could
very well benefit from entering the country. Seeking hope against Haïti's social ills and finding those 3 S's can be achieved. However, it will require several initiatives on the Haïtian people's parts and the Haïtian government to come about creating safer urban communities by investing in better communal and district neighborhood crime prevention programs.
There need to be greater emphasis of civic duty indoctrination to the youths of the nation by encouraging the youths to take part in Haïti's civic political processes. Much of such emphasis needs to be pressed and concisely presented in front of the Haïtian parliaments and legislatures for the re-establishment or re-institution of a new Haïtian Armed Forces which will be served as a mean of employment for many of Haïti's youth. Thus growing the number of the Haïtian National Police force which will come handy in educating the population about crime preventions and in efforts to keep the youths well engaged. This is one way
to disturb this negative circle that weakens Haïti.
P.S: The Haïtian government must not neglect the deeper factors that create crime in the
first place—lack of economic opportunities, weak social developments and as always, lack of solidified solidarity bonds
between or amongst the Haïtian people...
"This is the moment, our moment... and no other time is as crucial than this very moment as our urgency of now for Haïti." - Wilgëens "AfroLatino" Rosenberg.
