HAITI'S CHANGE: The Plain And Simple Targeted Demographic.

The Haitian Diasporas, The Elites, The Artists, The Haitian Media And Their Roles.

The Haitian Diasporas living abroad, the Haitian Artists nor the rich Elites of Haiti have not been pro-active enough in tackling the problems of Haiti. They can make better efforts to work together to approach Haiti's issues and fix some problems. Only they have the means and can change the dynamic of the many challenges Haiti faces economically, socially and politically. There needs to be more promotion for this dialogue in the Haitian media abroad and to those Haitian Communities abroad.

Now is the time Haitian presidents need to engage in more Public Relation talk and direct radio addresses in communicating to the mass population of Haiti reassuring them of what is being done generally in the country. Especially with all those proclaimed funds in aid that are promised to enter the Country once there is a managing Government. Haitian Government officials need to start sending out more direct and constant Communiques to the Haitians living abroad as well in engaging them to partake in the changes Haiti needs. These officials must pay more attention to the criticisms, analysis and concerns as well as the new ideas, suggestions and recommendations that many great Haitians in Haiti and abroad have by holding frequent Broadcasted live Hall meetings periodically and regularly. In other words, the Haitian Government and its officials can do a better job using the Internet media to spread their goals, intentions and weekly or even monthly improvement updates of what is taking place in the Country more often. That will generate a better and greater sense of trust, confident and popular support from the Haitian people in knowing their Government is actually at work working for them. It appears that many Haitians are without a clue what is happening to Haiti, or maybe they do have many clues but feel they are not being included in their Country's politics for change and the lack of togetherness as a people is surely contributing to the deterioration of the lovely Country.

Without a good sense of true realization to the facts of the actual problems of Haiti or with the constant denials and disrespect for Haiti by its very own citizens as a Country is what is causing Haiti to lose ground of recognition in the face of the rest of the world which taps right into the confidence, conscience psyche of younger generation of Haitians to come to grow up not to care for Haiti themselves. Beside Wyclef Jean, these Haitian youths are being raised and grow up to not having any exemplary figures as role models in their communities or societies whether in Haiti or abroad. They have no one to amass inspiration or aspiration from or to even look up to as role models. Surely there are many stars living in the United States of America also in many other parts of the world for that matter that are Haitian whom could actually stand for something in helping out in the causes and plights Haiti faces as a nation. Yet all these kids are getting are the negative images, the negative issues and crisis of the Country and they are gaining nothing morally cultural from those nowadays useless politicians, diasporas, elite Haitians and the Haitian media. All these sectors do not give a "Diddilli Squat" about the Nation nor do they share a common love for Country. Thus is why these youngsters are growing up without any proper education about Haiti and without any sense of true love and civic duty for the country.

The re-institution, of a modern and improved HAITIAN ARMED FORCES is a major must for Haiti and could serve as a form of hope for Haiti's future generations since those given and named sectors are not fulfilling their obligation. Thus this new Army would serve as an engineering corp kind of Army where kids could start taking part in the construction, development of their country. Assuringly make no mistakes about it, without any institution of role model for future youths to look up to, they too will grow up not caring about the nation and will always see their pockets before the need of the Country just like those current ungrateful incompetent mediocre politicians and many unpatriotic selfish Haitians are doing today.

P.S: Haiti could have greater relations with the Dominican Republic if ever one day I hope, but with the lack of pro-activeness and initiative on the Haitian government such a possibility may now seem a bit unlikely that given the known history and now social tension between the two great sovereign Nations but there is hope always for peace as the Haitian people must find their own peace and justice from within first to gain the respect and inclusion they seek in the world from the rest of the world primarily with next door neighbor the Dominican Republic for a greater Hispaniola.

"Peace is or can be a lie, but there is only passion. So through passion one gains strength, through strength one gains power, through power one gains victory and through victory one's chains are broken. Thus the Force shall free thee." — The Sith Code

how the haitian diaspora going to fix haiti problem we get no respect ,they treated us like dirt and we are consider outsiders for people living in haiti they only want our money dat said

Great question, however here is my answer.

As a Diaspora, no matter what the circumstances are you still have as should always have an obligation, love and duty to Haiti regardless of what the perception of you is at home. But first, please allow me to disagree with you on the "being treated like dirt" part. I personally think it is not true and in fact the dynamic is reversed. If anything, in Haiti a Diaspora is treated like royalty even if the reason why that is - is because of the assumption that you may have money.

With that being said, also a diaspora goes to Haiti with the pre-conceived notion that they should be treated special and most of the Diasporas over the years have grown a sense of complexity if not may have even became elitists themselves thinking that they can walk all over regular human beings in Haiti and wish to be treated like Gods simply because they know their money means a lot over there and see how the average poor Haitian in Haiti worship them because they are from the United States. Somebody could have been this uneducated nut in Haiti before he or she has gotten his or her chance to come to the US, but after while in the US when they go back to Haiti, they feel they all of a sudden they are in a better position to give advise and political insights and more merely because in their minds they feel that they have been exposed to the perfect exposure here in the US.

Come on, we can deny that or wish to not admit that all we want, but many of us have done that and at times it often is not intentional but simply it happens because of what it is. However, do you see the concept I am aiming for here? If you are a diaspora and you have family members in Haiti depending on you, I say that is not a National Sacrifice; that is "owning up to your familial responsibility" as a provider should.

P.S: Nevertheless, as Haitian, diaspora or not we still have Haiti as our Civic Responsibility if we are conscious of the dire dynamic enough. And no, it doe not require Dual Citizenship or Nationality to be effective in Haiti unless you plan on running for the highest Offices on the land (although I am not against it), but even then almost each Haitian Diaspora know of what they have to do and is required of them per Haiti's law and Constitution in the event that were to be their desires.

P.S 2: Accept or believe this or not, Haitians are just lazy and want the quick easy accessed road to everything is why so many of them are pushing for that Dual Nationality idea (although I am not against it); but knowing Haitians and their ruses in mind, it is all the more so that they could have one foot in and the other out so when they messed up in Haiti they could hurry up and run to the US or those other places abroad they have resided in or are Citizens of for so long depending on the extradition policies and leniency of those certain Nations and so forth they know the Haitian Government may not be able persecute nor to legally pursue and prosecute them for Capital crimes.
