Description:

  • Psikyat Gérald Rigaud pale sou enpak psikolojik vyolans politik ak ensekirite genyen sou popilasyon an kolektivman. Anpil moun fè strès, anksyete, depresyon, oubyen yo santi yon sans enpwisans. Dapre Rigaud, de pi gwo altènativ ki genyen pou moun ki vle soti nan mizè kote yo ye a se ale nan lame oubyen nan pastè. Anpil sòlda wont oubyen yo rayi kote yo soti a, nan mas pèp la; se sa k fè yo rejte mas pèp la. Se sa ki rasin vyolans ak represyon lame ap fè sou popilasyon an. Inifòm nan gen yon sòt de maji ladan li, ki fè militè yo vin depèsonalize.

  • Psychiatrist Gérald Rigaud discusses the psychological impacts of political violence and insecurity on the Haitian people collectively. Stress, anxiety, depression, and feelings of powerlessness are widespread. According to Rigaud, the two major options for people hoping to escape their poverty are the military or the clergy. The military, ashamed of their humble origins, develop hatred for the masses and reject them. This is the root of the violence and repression committed by the army. The magic of the uniform has the power to depersonalize soldiers.

  • Le psychiatre Gérald Rigaud se penche sur les impacts psychologiques collectifs de la violence politique et de l'insécurité sur le peuple haïtien. Le stress, l'anxiété, la dépression et le sentiment d'impuissance sont monnaie courante. Selon Rigaud, il n'existe que deux façons principales de sortir de la misère : l'armée ou le clergé. Les militaires, honteux de leurs origines modestes, ont développé une haine farouche à l'égard de la population. C'est dans ce rejet que prend racine la violence et la répression de l'armée vis-à-vis du peuple. Porter l'uniforme a le pouvoir presque magique de dépersonnaliser les soldats.
