Note
to the Press from Fanmi Lavalas
September 3, 2001
Port-au-Prince
Fanmi Lavalas knows that
certain local and foreign groups are working together
to make more misery and suffering throughout the majority
of the Haitian people because we are Lavalas, because
we are confident in President Aristide.
In the face of this desperate
provocation they are acting as if they have political
power, which the people did not give them in the elections.
In the face of this anti-change mentality of some small
groups who monopolize business in Haiti, Fanmi Lavalas
will continue to mobilize in peace to resist against
the escalating economic violence, and with the instruments
of peace, determination, patience, perseverance we will
continue to fight until the wall of apartheid, which
keeps the majority of the Haitian people from their
full participation in their nation, no longer exists.
We prefer to lose with
the People
Rather than to win without
the People
But with the People we
cannot lose
