Description:

  • Michèle Montas entèvyouve Chavannes Jean-Baptiste, lidè Mouvman Peyizan Papay, sou kontèks masak Janrabèl la. Yo pale sou ki sa masak sa a reprezante pou mouvman peyizan k ap reklame dwa yo an jeneral, koman mo "kominis" la tounen yon zam pou fè peyizan rale manchèt sou peyizan parèy yo, epi sou makout k ap reyaji paske yo pè yo ka pèdi tè avèk pouvwa politik si KNG a tonbe. Yo pale tou sou divizyon anndan legliz katolik la (ant ti legliz la avèk otorite tradisyonèl legliz yo), epi sou koman rezistans peyizan Tèt Ansanm yo te monte kont manje sinistre te kontribye a sityasyon Janrabèl la. Selon Jean-Baptiste, manje sinistre se yon pwazon li ye.

  • Michèle Montas rencontre Chavannes Jean-Baptiste, leader du Mouvement des paysans de Papaye, pour parler du contexte du massacre de Jean-Rabel. Ils discutent du sens de ce massacre pour les mouvements paysans qui réclament leurs droits, comment le mot « communiste » est devenu une arme pour dresser les paysans les uns contre les autres; ils parlent des macoutes qui réagissent parce qu’ils craignent de perdre leurs terres et leur pouvoir politique si le CNG n’est plus là. Discussion aussi sur les divisions au sein de l’Église catholique, entre l’Église populaire et la hiérarchie traditionnelle. Selon Jean-Baptiste, la lutte des paysans de Tèt Ansanm contre l’aide alimentaire a contribué à la situation de Jean-Rabel. Selon lui, l’aide alimentaire est un poison.

  • Michèle Montas interviews Chavannes Jean-Baptiste, the leader of the Mouvman Peyizan Papay, about the context of the Jean-Rabel massacre. They discuss how to massacre fits into broader movements of peasant farmers defending their rights, how the word "communist" has become a weapon to turn peasants against peasants, and how the Macoutes are reacting because they fear losing political power and land if the CNG is no longer in power. They also discuss divisions within the Catholic Church, between the "ti legliz" and the traditional Church authorities, and how Tèt Ansanm's resistance to food aid contributed to the situation in Jean-Rabel. According to Jean-Baptiste, food aid is a poison.
