Description:

  • Dènyè konferans pou laprès Prezidan Leslie Manigat te bay. Li abòde kesyon dechè toksik (sitou sa bato Khian Sea te lage nan Gonayiv), ensekirite, lojman sosyo, travo piblik, desantralizasyon, epi èd entènasyonal. Jounalis poze l kesyon sou rapò ant gouvènman an avèk laprès; Manigat reponn, "Je suis votre ami. Nous sommes des amis" ("Mwen se zanmi w. Se zanmi nou ye"). Yo poze l kesyon tou sou remaniman ki fèt anndan lame, kòm Jeneral Henri Namphy te reyafekte plizyè ofisye, pami yo Kolonèl Jean-Claude Paul. Manigat te anile remaniman sa yo pèsonèlman. Yo poze l kesyon tou sou akizasyon Manigat fè kont "sèten divalyeris," aksyon li pa rapò ak vyolasyon konstitisyon an, wòl atache yo, epi dwa bwasewo ayisyen k ap viv nan Dominikani. Jounalis yo poze li kesyon sou chanjman nan sosyete a; Manigat reponn ge chanjman toupatou. Si yo pa wè chanjman sa a, se yo menm ki avèg. De jou aprè, Jeneral Namphy te ranvèse Manigat nan yon koudeta.

  • Dernière conférence de presse du président Leslie Manigat. Il aborde la question des déchets toxiques (surtout ceux laissés par le bateau Khian Sea aux Gonaïves); il parle d’insécurité, de logements sociaux, de travaux publics, de décentralisation et d’aide internationale. Les journalistes l’interrogent sur les rapports entre le gouvernement et la presse. Manigat répond : « Je suis votre ami. Nous sommes des amis ». Ils l’interrogent sur les remaniements effectués dans l’armée, le général Namphy ayant réaffecté plusieurs officiers, dont le colonel Jean-Claude Paul. Manigat a personnellement annulé ces remaniements. On le questionne sur ses accusations contre certains duvaliéristes, sur son action par rapport aux violations de la constitution, sur le rôle des attachés, et sur les droits des braceros haïtiens vivant en République Dominicaine. Interrogé sur les changements dans la société, Manigat répond qu’il y a des changements partout; si les journalistes ne le voient pas, c’est qu’ils sont aveugles. Deux jours plus tard, le général Namphy renverse Manigat par un coup d’État.

  • President Leslie Manigat's final press conference. He addresses questions of toxic waste (particularly the waste dumped by the ship Khian Sea in Gonaïves), insecurity, public housing, public works, decentralization, and international aid. Journalists ask about the government's relationship with the press, to which Manigat responds, "I am your friend! We are friends." They also ask about recent reshuffling in the army, as General Henri Namphy reassigned several officers, including Colonel Jean-Claude Paul. Manigat personally annulled these changes. They ask about Manigat's accusations against "certain Duvalierists," his actions toward violations of the Constitution, the role of attachés, and the rights of Haitian braceros in the Dominican Republic. Journalists also ask Manigat about social change, to which Manigat replies that there is change everywhere, and if they do not see it, they are blind. Two days later, General Namphy overthrew Manigat in a coup d'état.
