The note issued by the Embassy of Haiti in the Dominican Republic on July 23, 2025<\/strong> calls into question the credibility<\/strong> and respectability<\/strong> of Haiti\u2019s diplomats, consuls, and government officials.<\/p>\n

The refusal to grant U.S. visas<\/strong> to this category of Haitian personalities suggests that Haiti is not being treated as a peer state by the United States.<\/p>\n

It also indicates that our diplomatic and state leaders are suspected of banditry and terrorism<\/strong> by a partner who is supposed to help resolve the multidimensional crisis<\/strong> that has plagued the country for decades.<\/p>\n

\n

Violation of International Protocol<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

The international recognition that a state receives from its peers implies that diplomatic treatment must align with the rules of international protocol<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Even during times of war, persona non grata<\/em> designations are not issued against representatives of opposing states present on foreign soil.<\/p>\n

Ant\u00e9nor Firmin<\/strong> and \u00c9mile Saint-Lot<\/strong> remain emblematic figures of Haitian diplomacy, offering the world a respectable image of Haiti\u2019s international engagement with its state counterparts.<\/p>\n

The letter sent by Firmin to Theodore Roosevelt<\/strong> and the signing of the United Nations Charter<\/strong> by Saint-Lot are milestones in the memory of a valuable and honored Haitian diplomacy<\/strong> in the history of international political relations.<\/p>\n

A Revealed State of Misery<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

A country whose leaders cannot guarantee the security of its 27,750 square kilometers<\/strong> or assess the natural resources beneath its soil<\/strong> is undeniably in a state of political poverty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Such a country and its people will never receive the same strategic consideration from the United States as nations like Ukraine<\/strong>, Israel<\/strong>, or Pakistan<\/strong>\u2014countries perceived as capable of engaging in war-related terrorism<\/strong> that could pose global threats.<\/p>\n

This is why the decision to deny U.S. visas to Haitian government officials<\/strong> only further proves the military, economic, political, and diplomatic misery<\/strong> of a nation that nonetheless remains rich in universal historical memory<\/strong>, in the human depth of its people<\/strong>, and in mineral and petroleum resources<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
