De Rémy Zamor à Roger Gaillard...

BAC I. Manuels d'Histoire

Ce n'était pas par coïncidence, nos anciens professeurs ont été souvent les auteurs de tous les  manuels qu'on utilisait en classe. 

C'était un standard à suivre. Aujourd'hui, nous rendons un hommage particulier à deux d'entr'eux: Rémy Zamor et Roger Gaillard.

BAC II.

Day 4 at the U.N…

Day four erupted with applause as Israel’s Premier Benjamin Netanyahu climbs to the podium. As everyone expected, he stood in defense of Israel’s actions in Gaza and gave the audience a historical account of nearly seventy years of failed negotiations with the Palestinian authorities. He brought with him a printed slide from which he draw conclusions. Benjamin Netanyahu had several interesting pop quizzes for the audience, among them  : Who swears death to America? Who swore to wipe Israel from the map?  C All of the above, the audience responded. If applause is a measure of audience capture, could Netanyahu’s speech be the most successful of the day?


Then, came the frontal charge led by Ireland, Luxembourg, and Bangladesh. Suggesting that mass genocide have happened in Gaza? The International Court of Justice (IJC) could be involved on determining the merits of the case.


Meanwhile all blamed HAMAS for the terrors of the October  7, where 1,200 innocent civilians were killed and the taking of hostages.


Several Caribbean nations took to the stage: Belize, Barbados, and Jamaica. They raised several questions. Among them, the law of the jungle; Might is right? The U.N commitment to multilateralism…they observed that no reform has been made at the U.N ( Security Council) since 1962.

Third Day at the U.N…

The third day began with a surprise so tightly kept in secrecy the mainstream media never knew to keep their camera lenses ready. 


Problems with live-streaming discouraged many from trying the U.N’s third day link. Then, suddenly, appeared  on the screen, Mahmoud Abbas , the Palestinian leader. The signal must have been scrambled to avoid detection. But, he was able to address the 80th U.N assembly safely.


Ghana’s president prepared statement was often interrupted with applause. Even though the message remained the same. The African continent needs to be represented at the U.N Security Council. That without structural reform the U.N could become irrelevant as an organization.


Some fiery speeches followed from accusations on the rise of neocolonialism to member nations not abiding to U.N charter, International Law, and territorial sovereignty of others....

Pri Revolusyon...

 Kotizasyon. Sa nou gen abitud rele Revolusyon 1843-a te kòmanse nan sud peyi d Ayiti, nan vil Okay. Nou te publiye tout griyèf revolusyon-an deja nan yon videyo kite rele le Manifeste de Praslin

Daprè ansyen pwofesè m, Mèt Rémy Zamor, yon revolusyon se yon "Chanjman radikal de tout estrikti nan yon peyi." Sa vle di, revolusyon se yon divòs bridsoukou, total kapital, ak toutsa ke revolusyonè yo juje k pabon, kap anpeche yon peyi byen fonksyone. (enfrastrikti, moun, enstitisyon, eksetera) 

Si nou mezire sa n gen abitud rele Revolusyon 1843-a sou lòn definisyon Mèt Zamor, nou wè klè kou dlokòk ke mesye 1843 yo pat vize yon chanjman radikal. Kidonk daprè Mèt Zamor, revolusyon 1843 ta kapab rele yon Mouvman olye de yon Revolusyon. 

Menmsi Manifès revolusyon an te pwodwi nan vil Okay, se vil Jeremi kite sèl katye jeneral li. Revolusyonè yo te pran kontwòl vil sila, te ranplase leta, epi tou pwofite fè dap-pi-yanp sou kès trezò publik, kite gen anviwon 6,603 goud ladan l.

Revolusyonè yo vinn rann yo kont byen vit ke kòb la pat ase pou pran swen yon lame de 2,500 zòm. Kidonk, yon kotizasyon te oblije fèt. Anpil gwo komèsan nan vil Jeremi te mete ansanm. Gen ladan yo ki louvri pòt magazen yo pou pran machandiz ak lajan nan kès sektè prive pou distribye bay lame revolusyonè-a. Chak ofisye te jwenn 4 goud, sòlda yo 2 goud.

Second Day at the U.N…

If speakers in yesterday’s session ended with more of the same vigor with which it started. The second Day shows more forceful addresses, condemning Russia for the war on Ukraine and Israel for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. 


Ukraine’s president drew attention to Russia’s continuing drone attacks on civilians  infrastructure and Ukraine self defense using drones to destroy Russian’s military targets.


Could the war be stopped without both countries agreeing to settle their disagreements through negotiations?


Kenya’s president address was tantamount to a free course on world history. He referred to The League of Nations, the organization who preceded the U.N whose relevance became questionable for failing to act when appropriate during World War II. Could the same thing happened again to the U.N? 


Panama’s president reasserted his country’s non-alignment or neutral position while managing the Panama Canal and several important waterways in the region…


Meanwhile, African chiefs of state reiterated their demand of two seats as the continent’s permanent representatives at the U.N Security Council. By our count, member countries of the African Union made similar requests last year…

First Day at the U.N…

Although today’s session at the U.N continues, one couldn’t help but thinking how the tone had changed from a year ago. The anger and the willingness to evoke or denounce dissatisfaction with current events is not quite demonstrated on the podium.


0900 The U.N Secretary general, Mr. António Guterres and the first woman elected to preside over the 80th. session, gave rousing speeches that were intermittently interrupted by applause.


Shortly after, Madame secretary, opened the floor for general debates. 


At the exception of Brazil’s president whose speech was similar to a lecture in Democratic principles, everyone else stuck to their prepared statements. 


The Uruguayan president was a closed second.


President Trump was surprisingly witty and funny today. While speaking about his unfortunate historical experiences with the U.N, from competitive bidding as a junior Real Estate Developer, on the building contract... - he noticed the lack of marble flooring and mahogany doors -, to being stuck at the UN elevator with his wife and the teleprompter malfunction...who, at the U.N tried to scare the heck out of the President and his wife?


King Abdullah of Jordan appeared frustrated for having to deal with the same issues over and over again.


Portugal’s president read his prepared statement masterfully and made a few off the cuffs remarks about how his country is engaged in world affairs on all continents.


Peru's president spoke about the attempted coup-d'Etat against the government, and the triumph of Democracy over anarchy.


Surinam's president took a moment to salute the Haitian people. She showcased her country's achievements on forest conservation and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for year 2030.

Pri Revolusyon...

 Moun ki renmen fè dezòd yo pa janm panse ke chak Revolusyon k pase nan peyi d Ayiti gen pri pa l pou pèp la peye. Si n tekonn panse konsa nou ta chita diskute kijan pou n rezoud pwoblèm yo anvan nal kouri bridsoukou pou ranvèse gouvènman nan peyi d Ayiti.

Premye revolusyon an, 1804. Lafrans mande pou n peye pou dedomaje Kolon franse yo. 
Dezyèm revolution. Koudeta Pont-Rouge la. Kote tout ofisye subaltèn Dessalines te fèk nonmen yo pran les armes kont li epi touye l. Dessalines pase apeprè dezan sou pouvwa. 

Tout moun kite patizan Pétion, ofisye lame endijèn yo surtout, te jwenn nan distribusyon tè ak bitasyon kitap fèt tribò-babò pandan onz lane gouvènman avi, diktati Alexandre Pétion. Se sou Pétion negosyasyon pou peye peyi lafrans dedomajman 150 milyon an te kòmanse. 

Anba Pétion ak Boyer- Kiltivatè yo pat ladann. Anvan anyen se yon lwa, se yon règ kap anpeche sitwayen alawonnbadè fonksyone ak tout libète nan peyi a. Se sak pwal bay Code Rural la, ki pwal kraze agrikilti nan peyi-a.  

BOYER ranplase Pétion. Menm penpenp lan kontinye. Ajoute vensenk lane la prezidans avi, diktati pirèd. 25 an diktati ki bay anpil koudeta, fiziyad, anprizonman, ekzil, vòlè-tè abitan. Pri sa-a nou fèk kare peye l.

Kòmsi sa pat ase. Jiskaprezan nou kontinye pirèd nan goumen, dechire, yonn ap manje zòrèy lòt... (A suivre)
