I work in Port-au-Prince, but I have to take him to live with my parents in Jérémie, to save him from kidnapping. It gnaws at me inside that I can’t take care of him.
Businesswoman Dashca LOUIS is worried about the seriousness of the events and this has consequences for the functioning of her business. “The conditions are not advantageous for anyone. Especially when it comes to micro businesses. It bothers the small staff and management. This is to tell you that business today is like the country. ” She continues: “This feeling of insecurity weakens the effectiveness of the team but also weakens the flexibility of clients. We find ourselves in a situation where we work day to day while waiting for the next slip. In fact, “si peyi a pa cho” is becoming our main way of speaking “.
This young professional and ANDC graduate who spoke on condition of anonymity is overcome by fear of everyday life. It is not immune to the phenomenon of kidnapping which is ruining the economies of many families and which continues to intimidate the population and even those who have the mission to protect and serve. ” I am in pain. I am scared. I am frustrated. I am without strength. Nothing make sense anymore. Nothing interests me anymore “.

The kidnapping constitutes a calamity for the Haitian population. Worse, the “authorities” in place seem unable to provide a response to this phenomenon. A worrying situation. Without language, lawyer Ricardson Bigot denounces the incompetence of the state. “Given the inertia or the lack of a State capable of curbing this problem which is eating away at society, citizens do not know which way to turn. Sometimes the ransoms amount to half a million US dollars. Parents are forced to wreak havoc on an economy built over twenty years just for the release of a loved one. “
“It preoccupies the minds of all citizens of the country. I’m a lawyer, I can’t even go to court because of the insecurity. Customers are also afraid. In addition, there is the magistrates’ strike which paralyzes the activities of lawyers ”, testifies Ricardson Bigot.
