Welcome to the beginning of #Haitian Heritage Cultural Month & Miami-Dade County kickoff - always a turnout of the Who’s Who of the Haitian community in South Florida.

I was honored to meet & exchange ideas with Haitian diaspora leaders in Florida. I always value the opportunity to hear from the diaspora community — crucial partners in our work to support the people of Haiti as they seek a secure & democratic future for their country. -BAN

These are difficult times in the media landscape in #Haiti . But we have to recognize 126 years of existence of Le Nouvelliste founded May 1, 1898. Congratulations & Happy Anniversary. As paper transitions to online (yes with a paywall) it will need support. miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo…

“We’re in political territory,” is #OPL ’s response to the fact 3 of presidential council members were not consulted . Magik9 miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo…

#OPL spokesman sees nothing wrong w/ yesterday’s events; public vote announced & opposite done. He says presidential council had “latitude” to do what they wanted. He sees no violation of accord, or word. He describes election “complicated,” Magik9 miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo…

Spokesman for #OPL tells Magik9 he doesn’t believe the accord within the accord group of 4 presidential council members signed is a problem. “Now is not the time to lose our serenity,” he says. miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo…

So just what went down 24 hours before yesterday’s appointments? Here’s how Jean Charles Moise outsmarted his adversaries on new transitional presidential council: miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo… #Haiti

Former head of Haiti senate tapped to lead transition | Miami Herald miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo…

Former Senate President Edgard Leblanc Fils is the new president of the presidential council in a deal and they have proposed a prime minister Fritz Belizaire. #Haiti

The alliance continues? Ex Sen. Moise Jean-Charles and Ex PM/ Foreign Minister Claude Joseph sitting next to each other in the audience waiting for the election of the 'president' of the transitional presidential council that is now an hour and 33 minutes behind schedule. #Haiti

'We are living in a huge prison,' Astrel Joseph describes what it's like to be living in Les Cayes, which has been cut off from the capital for more than a year.

Haiti police will now have 35 months of salary upon retirement under a decree the outgoing Henry government adopted on career advancement in HNP and compensation for Armed Forces of Haiti hurt in operations.

Of the 7 voting members of Haiti's new transitional presidential council, 4 are candidates for the 'presidency' of the panel. Two of the candidates previously sought the presidency of Haiti. So why 4 of 7 are after a job that on paper is just a coordinator?

Folks are reading 'election' for 'president' of #Haiti 's new transitional presidential council as a real president. It is not! The vote of the person will not weigh more than the other 6; they're more like a coordinator of the council. But given presidentialitis in Haiti...
