Chers internautes,
Qui a une copie de la déclaration de politique générale de la Première ministre ratifiée, Michèle Duvivier Pierre-Louis ? La Chambre des députés a approuvé cette déclaration dans la soirée du 29 août 2008 ( 70 ont voté en faveur de l'énoncé, un seul a voté contre, et 8 se sont abstenus). Est-ce que la Primature a un site d'internet ?
Chers députés et sénateurs,

Lovinsky Pierre Antoine
Mwen pa konn pouki kòz
Ou pati w poko tounen
Mwen pa konn ki sak kòz
Yo pa wè w kèk jounen
Ou kite kè ap plenn
Nan mitan lafanmi
Wa l chimen san konnen
Wa l kontre malfini
Mwen pa konn pouki bi
Ou pa bay ti nouvèl
Menm konnen w son kreati
Ki pat sipann fè moun bèl
Mwen pa konn ki sak fè
Nèg ta vle fè w jemi
Tandiske tout sa w kwè
Se fè wout pou lavi
Mwen pa konn ki pawòl
Ou te di ki bay fè
Ki fè nèg san kontwòl
Fè w pran wout lisifè
Men mwen senpman konnen
Ou te renmen lavi
Ou te fè li donnen
Menm nan kè ki pi di
Mwen pa konn kote w ye
Men monchè bay nouvèl
Pou fanm sa kap kriye
Ki pa kwè w ko nan syèl
Mwen pa konn sa wap tann
Men fè tout sa w konnen
Moun yo pa ka ret tann
Dlo nan je pa chimen
Leve sonnen lanbi
Yon jou kèlkilanswa
Di madanm gen lavi
Bay lafanmi lespwa

22 dawou 2008 ********************************************************************Open letter to the Haitian authorities on the first anniversary
of the disappearance of Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine From: Michèle Pierre-Antoine (original letter in French)
Madam/Sir -- the authorities, Exactly one year ago, on 12 August 2007, my husband, Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine, after coming back from out of town, suddenly left home to go to a meeting arranged by phone by people who probably wanted to lure him into a trap. Up to now, that was the last time his family saw him. It was also the start of an ordeal for those close to him as well as for his colleagues and friends. 12 August 2007-12 August 2008. Twelve long months have gone by since his disappearance was reported to all bodies with responsibility for Haiti: the President’s office, Primature, Parliament, Ministry of Justice, National Police of Haiti, UN, OAS (Organisation American States), etc. To this day, the Pierre-Antoine family has witnessed, with disappointment but not surprise, the lack of, if not to say the total absence of any results from the actions and investigations which the authorities are supposed to undertake. Today, my demeanour is that of a traumatised wife, of a mother who is shocked and powerless, speechless in the face of Lovinsky’s two sons’ daily questions about what has really happened to their dear father. I’ve heard nothing about where the investigation has reached, and I’m getting to the point where I wonder if there really is a will to present any concrete official results. A year after this incident, the Haitian authorities and the public seem to have forgotten this citizen whose disappearance, as a human being, should arouse sympathy. The worst is the mental anguish his family has to endure; we also feel angry about the sick actions of his kidnappers and the blatant indifference of some of his closest colleagues.
Without doubt, an active citizen of Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine’s calibre does not disappear, doesn’t melt into nature without a trace. Actually, the leads and clues left during and after his kidnap were not worked on or explored advisedly so as to bring concrete results. For example, the fingerprints found in the vehicle Lovinsky used, the shocking and revealing statements made to the press by an influential member of the political party Lovinsky belongs to. Personally, not too long ago, I told the police that in a moment of hope, I rang Lovinsky’s mobile and was stunned when someone answered, who calmly replied, without any concern, that he was in possession of a personal belonging of someone who had mysteriously disappeared, which could constitute evidence of the crime if there was jurisdiction in this country. **************************************************************Thinking about Lovinsky’s disappearance, his family and I think of it as missing his physical presence, but he remains with us, alive in our hearts and minds because he is a remarkable husband, a father and family man who cares about his children’s education and future, and a wise adviser to those around him. Surely, even those who don’t agree with his convictions and political actions, still admire his activism, seriousness, his commitment to what he has promised, his team spirit and above all, his love for Haiti. Words fail us to describe Lovinsky’s rare and fantastic personal qualities. Our memories of him are the best. Putting my arms around the shoulders of my two sons who are in tears at the disappearance of their dear father, and who are waiting for him to come home, my only choice is to reapply myself to notifying all the authorities concerned, to shine a light on his disappearance. Actually, it’s time to break with this atmosphere of suspense and uncertainty; it’s time to break the silence everyone is keeping about this affair, a silence which becomes a tacit plot hatched to keep secret the identity of who is behind this disgusting act. Once more, I call on the conscience of each and every person to get to the truth and end this inexpressible tragedy for Lovinsky, as it is a tragedy for his family. I also call on the conscience of the members of the new government so that they re-launch the investigation on Lovinsky and make the truth come to light. Finally, I am with my sons in expressing recognition and thanks to the real friends and supporters of Lovinsky, to all those who have lent their moral support, all those who made immeasurable sacrifices to express their opposition to this act, in the streets of various cities in Haiti, in the US and other countries as well as abroad in front of the embassies and offices of Haiti, to all those who have written up articles on this affair for the radio, print media, television and internet, and all those who, in one way or another, have shown sympathy about this sad and terrible situation. Let everyone know that despite all these terrible things, Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine’s family is stronger than ever. Lifted up by hope. Monday 11 August 2008 Michèle Pierre-Antoine Lovinsky’s wife * "...Il n’y a aucun doute qu’un actif citoyen de la trempe de Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine ne disparait pas, ne s’évapore pas dans la nature sans laisser de trace. En effet, les pistes et les indices laissés pendant et après son enlèvement n’ont pas été suffisamment exploités ou explorés à bon escient afin d’aboutir à des résultats concrets. J’en veux pour preuve les empreintes digitales trouvées dans le véhicule utilisé par Lovinsky, les déclarations fracassantes et révélatrices faites à la presse par un membre influent du parti politique dont Lovinsky est membre. Personnellement, j’avais, dans un passé pas trop lointain, relaté à la police que dans un élan d’espoir j’avais composé le numéro du téléphone cellulaire de Lovinsky et je fus étonnée de trouver un correspondant qui m’avait répondu calmement sans se soucier qu’il détenait dans ses mains un objet personnel qui appartenait à une personne disparue mystérieusement et qui pourrait constituer le corps du délit si la justice avait droit de cité dans ce pays..." (Lettre ouverte (d'epouse de Lovinsky, Michèle Pierre-Antoine) aux autorités haïtiennes à l’occasion du premier anniversaire de la disparition de Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine. August, 11, 2008) (Open Letter to the Haitian authorities on the occasion of the first anniversary of the disappearance of Lovinsky Pierre Antoine from Michèle Pierre-Antoine, wife of Lovinsky Pierre Antoine) * Lettre ouverte aux autorités haïtiennes à l’occasion du premier anniversaire de la disparition de Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine. Mesdames/Messieurs les autorités, Il y a un an exactement, le 12 aout 2007, mon époux, Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine, revenant d’un séjour en province, a laissé précipitamment son domicile pour se rendre à un rendez-vous fixé au téléphone par des individus qui voulaient probablement l’attirer dans un piège. C’était la dernière fois jusqu’au moment de la rédaction de la présente qu’il a été vu par les membres de sa famille. C’était aussi le commencement de la montée d’un calvaire tant pour ses proches que pour ses alliés et amis. 12 aout 2007-12 aout 2008. Douze longs mois se sont écoulés depuis que cette disparition a été reportée à toutes les instances concernées du pays : Présidence, Primature, Parlement, Ministère de la Justice, Police Nationale d’Haïti, ONU, OEA, etc. A ce jour, la famille Pierre-Antoine a constaté avec déception, mais sans surprise le manque apparent pour ne pas dire l’absence totale de résultats suite aux actions et enquêtes que devraient mener les autorités. Aujourd’hui, ma démarche est celle d’une épouse traumatisée, d’une mère de famille choquée et impuissante qui reste bouche bée face aux questions posées quotidiennement par les deux garçons de Lovinsky sur ce qui est réellement arrivé à leur père chéri. Aucune information n’a été donnée sur les avancées de l’enquête et j’arrive à un point où je me demande s’il y a vraiment une volonté manifeste d’aboutir à des conclusions concrètes et officielles. Un an après cet événement, tant les autorités haïtiennes que l’opinion publique semblent avoir oublié ce citoyen dont la disparition, en tant qu’être humain, devrait mobiliser les esprits. Le pire, c’est l’agonie mentale vécue par les membres de sa famille ; c’est aussi l’indignation que produisent la perversité de ses ravisseurs et l’indifférence flagrante d’une fraction de ses plus proches collaborateurs. Il n’y a aucun doute qu’un actif citoyen de la trempe de Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine ne disparait pas, ne s’évapore pas dans la nature sans laisser de trace. En effet, les pistes et les indices laissés pendant et après son enlèvement n’ont pas été suffisamment exploités ou explorés à bon escient afin d’aboutir à des résultats concrets. J’en veux pour preuve les empreintes digitales trouvées dans le véhicule utilisé par Lovinsky, les déclarations fracassantes et révélatrices faites à la presse par un membre influent du parti politique dont Lovinsky est membre. Personnellement, j’avais, dans un passé pas trop lointain, relaté à la police que dans un élan d’espoir j’avais composé le numéro du téléphone cellulaire de Lovinsky et je fus étonnée de trouver un correspondant qui m’avait répondu calmement sans se soucier qu’il détenait dans ses mains un objet personnel qui appartenait à une personne disparue mystérieusement et qui pourrait constituer le corps du délit si la justice avait droit de cité dans ce pays. En pensant à la disparition de Lovinsky, les membres de sa famille et moi, nous nous mettons à l’idée que c’est son corps physique qui échappe à notre vue, mais il reste et demeure vivant dans nos cœurs et nos esprits pour autant qu’il est un remarquable époux, un père de famille soucieux de l’éducation et de l’avenir de ses enfants et un conseiller avisé pour son entourage. Certes, on peut ne pas adhérer à ses convictions idéologiques et ses pratiques politiques, mais, on ne peut ne pas admirer sa militance, son sérieux, son respect de la parole donnée, son esprit d’équipe et surtout son amour pour Haïti. Les mots et les paroles nous manquent pour décrire les rares et magnifiques qualités que possède Lovinsky. Nous gardons de lui les meilleurs souvenirs. Passant la main autour des épaules de mes deux fils qui pleurent la disparition de leur cher papa et qui attendent son probable retour, je n’ai d’autre choix que de m’en remettre à la conscience de toutes les autorités concernées pour faire jaillir la lumière autour de cette disparition. En effet, il est temps de rompre avec cette ambiance de suspense et d’incertitude ; il est temps de rompre avec ce silence observé autour de cette affaire, un silence converti en un complot tacite tramé pour maintenir le secret sur l’identité des auteurs intellectuels de cet acte odieux. Une fois encore, j’en appelle à la conscience de chacun et de tous pour faire émerger la vérité et en finir avec cette indicible tragédie pour Lovinsky comme pour les membres de sa famille. J’en appelle aussi à la conscience des membres du nouveau gouvernement pour qu’ils puissent relancer le dossier de Lovinsky et faire éclater la vérité. Pour conclure, je m’associe à mes garçons pour exprimer ma reconnaissance et mes remerciements aux vrais amis et supporteurs de Lovinsky, à tous ceux qui ont apporté leur soutien moral, à tous ceux qui ont consenti des sacrifices incommensurables pour exprimer la réprobation de cet acte dans les rues de différentes villes d’Haïti, des Etats-Unis et d’autres pays ainsi que devant diverses représentations diplomatiques d’Haïti à l’étranger, à tous ceux qui ont rédigé des articles sur cette affaire à travers la presse parlée, écrite, télévisée et l’internet, enfin à tous ceux qui, d’une manière ou d’une autre, ont manifesté leurs sympathies à l’occasion de cette triste et pénible circonstance. Qu’ils sachent qu’au-delà de toutes les abominations, la famille de Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine reste plus forte que jamais. Portée par l’espoir. Lundi 11 Aout 2008 Michèle Pierre-Antoine Epouse de Lovinsky ************************************************************* Remembering Lovinsky Pierre Antoine - One Year After He was Disappeared in Haiti by the Zen Haitian, The Haitian Blogger http://thehaitianblogger.blogspot.com/ Saturday, August 9, 2008Lovinsky Pierre Antoine, |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| August 12, 2008 will be the one year anniversary of the disappearance of Lovinsky Pierre Antoine. It's a sad anniversary and a sad commentary that Lovinsky has not returned to his family. I really do not believe that Lovinsky is dead. I keep building scenarios in my mind where he could possibly still be alive and well somewhere. I knew him, not well, but well enough to like him. We enjoyed a couple of beers together when we visited Mole St. Nicholas. Lovinsky's favorite beer was a Haitian brand that tastes a lot like Heineken. That's what I said when he offered me one. That day (August 9) we met with the leadership of Mole St. Nicholas. In that city we were told, people who had | |||
| Lavalas affiliations kept that a secret. It could be deadly if you revealed your politics. Many former members of the Haitian army hold positions of power there. One man who called himself a "professor", and seemed incensed by Lovinsky's presence, voiced criticism about Aristide. At that point, Lovinsky slowly got up from his seat on the panel, and strode outside to smoke a cigarette. I asked him once if he knew President Aristide. He didn't say anything, he just held up two fingers and intertwined them together. Lovinsky was a man of few words, but he made you feel comfortable and safe in his presence. Ironic, that no one thought he needed protection. There we were in a gated house with guards, while he was left vulnerable to... who knows what. We spent most of the day on the road back to Cap Haitian, stopping briefly in Gonaive to see the damage from the mud slides and rains. There were many people traversing the ripped up roads on motorcycles. The roads had been ripped up to allow for drainage, but had remained that way for months. Lovinsky got recognized everywhere we went in Haiti and it was no exception that day. A man on a motorcycle greeted him with enthusiasm and stopped to discuss the condition of the roads and when they would be fixed. Residents had no services at all; electricity, water, garbage collection... etc. The situation was very dire. Standing puddles of water invited insects and disease. It was the evening of August 11 and me, three members of the delegation were riding into Port-au-Prince, with Lovinsky driving, from our afternoon in the town of Dessalines. As we drove by a section of the outskirts of town, a member exclaimed, "is this where they bring the bodies?" She pointed to the right and ahead of the car. "Yes, that's it," said Lovinsky. He then explained, about the mass grave site, where the bodies of murdered political activist, Lavalas members and others connected to the Aristide government were buried. We spent the next day (August 12) touring the farm cooperative run by Bolivar Romulus in Miragoine. Bolivar is a former member of the Haitian parliament. His organization FOPAH works with students, peasant organizations and women's organizations in four of Haiti's departments (counties) to build sustainable farm cooperatives. Lovinsky took a picture of me as I sat on a little chair and typed notes on the laptop in the middle of one of Bolivar's neat rows of plants. The night of August 12, Lovinsky brought in my bag that I usually keep close to me, but I had left it in the SUV. I was very grateful, because I had money and personal items like my notebook in it. The last person in the house to see Lovinsky, was our host, who saw him smoking in the back of the house at around 10 p.m. A Canadian member of the delegation gave me the news on the afternoon of August 13. This man is courteous and well-mannered, so it surprised me to hear him swear. "Today was fucked-up, he said, Lovinsky never showed up. We don't know where he is." The kidnapper called the delegation leader from Lovinsky's cell phone. He spoke in Kreyol. He said he was a "professional." When the delegation was told about the call from Lovinsky's phone, the fear and apprehension was palpable. The kidnapper demanded $300,000. He said not to go to the police. As we discussed the situation, I said something lame like, "the first 48 hours are the most important" -- as if that really mattered here in Haiti. It's not as if they have a crack investigative team ready to go to work to find human rights activist who are kidnapping victims. That afternoon the rented SUV was found on Delma. Some information indicate that Lovinsky disappeared between Delma 31 and Delma 40. More info (Marguerite Laurent, head of Haitian Lawyer's Leadership on Haitian radio. English translation not available). The Canadians offered to go to their embassy the next day to ask for help in finding Lovinsky. The delegation leadership continued to talk to Lovinsky's friends and family and attempted to raise the ransom. Human rights and cultural activist, Marguerite Laurent, sent out an alert the evening of August 13, 2008. A lawyer and "negotiator" came to the house and interviewed a leader of the delegation. The then Port-au-Prince Police Chief, was contacted, but he did not make an appearance at the house, nor did anyone else from the Haitian police. The police Chief said that they did not have the means to track Lovinsky's cell phone. The cell phone company Digicel has a virtual monopoly on cell phone service in Haiti, but may or may not have been contacted by the police for assistance. I believed that the Chief was genuinely concerned, just not equipped to deal with the situation, mostly for unspoken political reasons that everyone comprehends. Haiti is under occupation by people who are not interested in the health and well-being of Haitians in opposition to the occupation. I remember riding in the SUV into the town of Dessalines, on August 10 as they held celebrations commemorating Bwa Kayiman. Dessalines is a historic town that had been named after a Frenchmen who took part in Napoleon's invasion of Haiti. It was renamed Dessalines when Aristide took office. The town is in a valley surrounded by mountains and served as a base for one of the Haitian revolution's fiercest and most successful leader, Dessalines. There are still cannons at strategic locations in the hills above the town that stand as a testament to the ingenuity, bravery and historic significance of the world's first successful revolution of an enslaved people. Lovinsky embodied Haiti. Haiti's spirit of independence, struggle, wisdom and knowledge of self. At Dessalines that day, there was a makeshift check point set up at the town entrance. The men who were stopping cars did not have guns, they had thick batons. One walked up to the car and explained that the "toll" was voluntary. Lovinsky fearlessly said he was not paying since it was voluntary. The man was taken aback but let us pass. On our trip to different cities in Haiti, I learned more about the 2004 coup and how much danger Aristide's supporters faced. Lovinsky's personal narrative is pretty chilling. Lovinsky loved his country. He went into exile after the 2004 coup, but he soon returned, leaving his wife and family behind in Washington. I asked him if he missed his family? He told me he had to come back. He could not stay away. He wanted to help his country. He knew so much about Haiti's history and as a psychologist, the Haitian psyche and at the core he is a man of peace who sought to find a way to serve his country. He planned to run for elected office, but he may have been made into a martyred hero, by people who had other plans for Haiti. 08.11.08 Update: At the U.S. Embassy, we met with the "Political Officer." That's what his name tag read. He was very courteous, professional and attentive. He was a Black man who wore a bow tie and a wool jacket. A wool jacket in the luxurious, well appointed, cool conference room that he ushered us into was understandable. He did not have to step outside into the punishing heat. He listened to our concerns about Lovinsky, but offered that he could not help. It just was not in his job description, nor in any one elses job description at the U.S Embassy to help. So, the subject of Lovinsky's kidnapping was quickly exhausted. We moved on to other topics. In particular, one of the Canadians brought up his objections to U.S. foreign policy in Haiti. I chimed in with my strong objections. I remember distinctly that, he looked at me directly and warned; "You know, they kidnap Americans too." Although I don't know what that had to do with U.S. foreign policy. I'm sure he did not mean it as a threat. | ||||
