On the occasion of the 355th anniversary of the founding of Cap-Haïtien, Emol Jeune, a committed figure and influential voice of the Christophian city, delivered a vibrant message to his compatriots 'by blood and by heart, from here and elsewhere.'
In a statement imbued with pride and lucidity, the Capois leader hailed the memory of the city's builders and urged his fellow citizens to perpetuate the torch of the 'glorious heritage' left by their ancestors. 'May the torch of Christophian pride continue to shine brightly, illuminating our steps towards a future worthy of our glorious heritage,' he affirmed.
While emphasizing the symbolic significance of this date, Emol Jeune also insisted on the urgency of current challenges. According to him, the North 'more than ever needs its upright sons and daughters to recover' from the multifaceted crises it is experiencing. 'The fight will be long, but our determination is unwavering. The time for eloquent speeches is over; it is time for concrete action,' he stressed.
The call aims to mobilize beyond divisions and generations. Emol Jeune thus invites the youth and the entire Capois society to serve regional development, with the aim of making it 'a model, a sample of the Haiti we all dream of: prosperous, united, and proud.'
In his remarks, he also posed a question that resonates as a collective challenge: 'What Haiti will we leave to future generations?' To answer it, he advocates for general mobilization around concrete projects capable of sustainably transforming the economic and social reality of the North.
Concluding his message on a note of faith and hope, Emol Jeune placed the city's future under spiritual protection: 'May the Great Architect guide us on the path of renewal and change.'
This 355th anniversary of Cap-Haïtien, marked by celebrations but also by questions about the future, was an opportunity for the Capois leader to recall that the city's greatness rests above all on the commitment and perseverance of its children.
