The announcement came as a surprise: Minister Kathia Verdier, in charge of Haitians living abroad, was declared persona non grata at the Journ\u00e9es Internationales de la Diaspora Ha\u00eftienne in Montreal. <\/strong><\/p> \n \n

A stinging slap in the face for a representative of the French State who, instead of being welcomed as a legitimate interlocutor, was kept at a distance by the event’s organizers. <\/p> \n \n

This decision reveals much more than a simple ceremonial sidelining. It reflects a deep-seated mistrust, a rift between the Haitian government and its diaspora, which is essential to the country’s reconstruction. <\/p> \n \n

Kathia Verdier embodies a weakened administration. <\/p> \n \n

While the Haitian diaspora keeps the national economy at arm’s length via remittances, the ministry it heads is struggling to come up with a clear vision.<\/p> \n \n

By excluding all official representatives, the organizers are sending an unequivocal message: they refuse to offer a platform to a power deemed ineffective, or even complicit in the current chaos. They are asserting their refusal to be associated with a failing state. <\/p> \n \n

Minister Kathia Verdier would do well to learn from this. Her ministry needs to move from declarations of intent to action: clarify its policy towards members of the Diaspora. <\/p> \n \n
