Description:

  • Emisyon Forum Démocratique konsakre a menas sektè demokratik la ap sibi kèk semèn anvan premye eleksyon demokratik Ayiti t ap òganize yo. Envite yo se Pè Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Jean-Claude Cerin, Gérard Bissainthe, ak Frantz Verella. 2 novanm 1987, KEP la te soti kanè tout kandida ki t ap pral nan eleksyon 29 novanm yo. Sa te deklanche yon vag vyolans: atak sou lokal KEP la, sou lokal PDCH la ki se pati politik Sylvio Claude la, epi sou Emmanuel Ambroise ki se yonn nan manm KEP la. De twa semèn anvan sa, nan mwa oktòb, yo te touye kandida pou laprezidans Yves Volel. Dapre Aristide, vyolans sa a montre ke makout yo gen yon mantalite "olye m pèdi tout, m ap gate tout." Envite yo pale tou sou sètèn erè sektè demokratik la te komèt tou, epi sou kesyon kominote entènasyonal la (sitou Etazini) k ap fouye bouch li nan eleksyon Ayiti yo.

  • Cette émission est consacrée aux menaces que subit le secteur démocratique, quelques semaines avant la première élection démocratique organisée en Haïti. Les invités : le père Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Jean-Claude Cerin, Gérard Bissainthe et Frantz Verella. Le 2 novembre 1987, le CEP a fait paraitre la liste des candidats admis à participer aux élections du 29 novembre, ce qui a déclenché une vague de violence : attaque sur le local du CEP, du PDCH le parti de Sylvio Claude, et sur Emmanuel Ambroise, un membre du CEP. Quelques semaines auparavant, en octobre, un candidat à la présidence, Yves Volel, a été assassiné. D’après Aristide, cette violence montre que les macoutes, n’acceptant pas de perdre, préfèrent détruire.

  • Forum Démocratique broadcast devoted to threats to the democratic sector on in the weeks before Haiti's first democratic elections, with Father Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Jean-Claude Cerin, Gérard Bissainthe, and Frantz Verella. On 2 November 1987, the CEP released its final list of candidates for the 29 November elections, after which there was a spate of violence, including attacks on the CEP headquarters, the headquarters of Sylvio Claude's PDCH, and CEP member Emmanuel Ambroise. A few weeks earlier, in October, presidential candidate Yves Volel was assassinated. According to Aristide, this violence shows that the Macoutes are operating with a "if I'm going to lose everything, I might as well destroy everything" mentality. The guests also discuss the mistakes the democratic sector has made, and the question of foreign (especially US) interference in Haiti's elections.
