Stratégie socio-économique Lavalas : "Did Aristide support violence and pe lebrun in Haiti? - Speech - Sept. 27, 1991"

Ceux qui aujourd'hui se présentent comme des démocrates et défenseurs des libertés supportaient Jean-Betrand Aristide dans ses appels à la violence. A écouter ce discours fielleux, on ne peut que se rejouir de l'arriver au pouvoir du Président Michel Martelly qui cherche à résoudre les memes problèmes de chomage, de pauvreté, de faim et d'insécurité avec des approches démocratiques qui ne dressent pas une classe d'homme contre une autre, divisant le pays tout en l'entrainant dans un cycle infernal de la violence politique.

The speech was mired in controversy after Raymond Joseph, current Haitian ambassador to Washington D.C. but then Publisher of the right-wing newspaper Haiti Observateur, released a slanted translation. The translation was circulated by Ellen Cosgrove, the political officer of the U.S. Embassy in 1991, to the international press as proof that Aristide supported "pe lebrun" or necklacing with burning tires doused with gasoline. Other translators and scholars have criticized Joseph and the U.S. for that slant countering that Aristide's reference to "tool" and "smell" were colorful Kreyol metaphors describing Haiti's constitution. They say this only becomes clear when heard in the context of the entire speech. The political context of the speech is equally important as it follows an attempt by the Duavlierists and Roger Lafontant to overthrow Aristide's government in a coup only three months earlier. Aristide was caught between plots by Duvalierists aligned with Haiti's wealthy elite and the violent reaction and impulses of the Haitian masses to decades of brutal repression known as dechoukaj. Aristide was overthrown two days after delivering this speech on September 30, 1991. The Joseph translation of the speech was handed out by Ellen Cosgrove to the press on October 7, 1991 during a visit by the Organization of American States (OAS) to Haiti. This speech would be referred to many times, including in the present context, to justify keeping Aristide out of politics and the violent repression of Haiti's poor masses represented by the Lavalas movement. Kevin Pina and the Haiti Information Project (HIP) now offer for history the complete unedited speech in Kreyol as it was videotaped that day in Sept. 1991.
