Haiti is starting to fall in the hands of young men and women

The best hope, at the start of 2008, is the realization that Haiti is increasingly starting to fall in the hands of young men and women.

It started right before 1985 with a new generation in the medias and in music, and now it is reaching the pinnacle of political power with the national Chief of Police, among others. And with the presidential elections of 2006, which has seen the emergence of a few young presidential candidates and leaders, the hope is now the country might fall all the way, in the hands of young men and women up to the highest sphere of politics and socio-economics. This can only be great news, the glad tidings that Haiti was waiting for, to renew our political personnel and have now a new modern class of political leaders that supply a new energy and a new lift to the nation to inspire it to finally push for its modern transformation that is needed in every area.


Friends, this is news that's worths sharing with others, Haiti is starting to fall in the hands of young men and women. And that means for Haiti and for the world:

(La Rencontre du jeu et de l’esprit, du plaisir et du patriotisme, de la creativite et du devoir, des racines et de la modernite, de la passion et d’une vision, de l’innovation a l’Haitienne, et de la fierte retrouvee et du faire pour laisser a la posterite.)

The rare blends of fun and knowledge, of pleasure and patriotism, of creativity and responsibility, of roots and modernity, of passion and vision, of innovation Haitian style and new country pride, all of which to build a new legacy as a generation to leave for posterity.

The terrible free fall mess and fatalist-defeatist mentality we have found, we are not responsible for them but we have a responsibility to stop them.

As one young Haitian woman frames it well in her myspace page, the road to success, going to the rescue of our nation, will not be straight but instead will be an obstacle course.

Ahead, there is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. We as young leaders will have flats called Jobs. But, if we have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Divine Inspiration, we will make it with Haiti to that place called Success, we will make it, all of us, and that will mean both personal and national successes, individual successes and collective triumphs. Let's reach for one another and lean on each other.

We must prevail, so we can keep our head high, wherever we are, as members of a generation which has answered the call for the greatest duty of them all for the sake of the survival and the perennity of the Haitian nation and the Haitian people.
