Beninese pan-Africanist activist K\u00e9mi S\u00e9ba, on a visit to Haiti since May 28, has called on Haitian gang leaders to stop the violence against the population and turn against those who armed them.<\/p>\n
During his visit to Haiti, in addition to holding public conferences in Cap-Ha\u00eftien, the Beninese political figure revealed that he has held talks with gang leaders who, he says, have realized they were manipulated for purposes beyond their control. \u201cIn my conversations with some armed group members, I told them clearly to stop shooting the people. The people are not the enemy \u2014 the true enemies are those who armed them: the neoliberal oligarchy trying to drown, suffocate, and crush Haiti,\u201d S\u00e9ba stated. However, he acknowledged that not all gang members support his approach.<\/p>\n
Highly critical of Haiti\u2019s political and economic elite, S\u00e9ba \u2014 who was stripped of his French nationality in 2024 \u2014 believes they are largely to blame for the country\u2019s current chaos. \u201cThe problem is that this elite takes its orders from Washington, Paris, and Montreal. That\u2019s why Haiti isn\u2019t sovereign,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n
According to S\u00e9ba, a tripartite alliance between the Western, Haitian, and Kenyan oligarchies is behind the deployment of the multinational force led by Kenyan officers. He insists that the Kenyan proletariat is not to blame if \u201csome Black brothers serve white colonizers against other Black brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ultimately, he argues that Haiti\u2019s geographical position poses a strategic challenge for Western powers, especially the United States, who fear a Haitian revolution even more impactful than Cuba\u2019s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
