Ne pas oublier...

Extraits de: Baby Doc’s return bodes ill for Haiti, Catherine Porter, Toronto Star. Ici.

“Let’s not forget what Duvalierism was: prison camps, torture, arbitrary arrest, extrajudicial killings, persecution of the opposition.”

Autre extrait:

"On walls still left standing around the capital, you can find pro-Duvalier graffiti alongside anti-Préval tags. Many people I’ve interviewed over the past year say his tenure, along with that of his father, Dr. François “Papa Doc” Duvalier, was Haiti’s last era of prosperity, and they’d give up some freedom for a job and food.
Of course, none of them ever received an unlucky visit from a Tonton Macoute. None had a family member disappear in the middle of the night, taken to the torture chambers under the palace and never seen again. Most of the country’s population is under 21, and has no recollection of that era."
