7127: Re: Toussaint (#7090), Purchase of $1.2M House(#7113), Carnaval (Jacmel) & CASSIS (fwd)
From: amedard@gte.net
I thought I'd share an interesting email just received from
Haiti. It answers to posts #7090, #7113, and also goes on to
describe the weekend in Jacmel (carnaval) and the recent murder
of Gerard Cassis:
Yes, this is what we are hearing in Haiti
that Danny Toussaint is going to replace
Denizé, but there is another side to the
story also, that is a break between Aristide
and Toussaint, as Toussaint is becoming too
powerful, and Aristide cannot stand that, he
has to be the almighty, but in the mean time
Toussaint is completely above the law, and
does what ever he pleases.
As far as the house brought in Musseau, it
belonged to Gerard Moscosso, the principal
actionnaire of Sogebank, a multi-milionaire.
The house was brought by Arisitide with
government money to thank Preval for holding
for him for the past 5 years, and obeying in
everything.
Beside that, Preval had a mansion built in
Marmelade where he will probably go, when it
suits him to "faire la fete" with his friends
and drink .
Then, spent the week end in Jacmel for their
carnaval. They made eveybody paid 50
gourdes to get into the town, and they had
approximately 30,000 people from other places
in the country, but they could not afford to
put a life guard on the beach or an
ambulance, so 5 people drowned, 5 young
people. Nobody realize they had problems;
it was someone on his jet ski that saw them,
could not help all of them at the same time,
so he recovered 2 of them; by the time he
went back for the others the current has
taken them, and they
could not be found. Life in Haiti is not
important, it is so sad ...
Le comercant Gerard Cassis was killed this
weeek end also. This is a man who was with
Cedras to overtrow Aristide, so he had to go
in exil when he came back, so had left his
business and family behind, he paid Aristide
and Gladys Lauture who made les demarches for
him, close to one million US dollars to come
back to Haiti, visited Aristide pretty often,
got into drug dealing with him too, he used
him, and then last Friday, he was cornered by
another car, and they shot him 5 times, broad
day light excecution style, since the
security guard who was with him, did not get
a scrath, this to give you an idea of the
country we are living in. It is nothing that
you can imagine, you who lived in Haiti.
