i. The Haitian people have no common enemy with the terrorists, because the latter are criminals and enforcers serving the enemies of the people, both internal and external.
ii. Haitian terrorists are outlaws; they cannot transform their criminal regime into a citizen movement. The transition between terrorism and the exercise of citizenship cannot be achieved through grandiloquent speeches.
iii. Contrary to what the president of the Pan-African Emergencies NGO advocates, who rather blamed those who provide weapons to terrorists, the Haitian people hold both the terrorists (who execute) and their sponsors responsible for their misfortune. They are in the same boat. They represent the two terminals of the same battery.
iv. The Haitian people cannot reconcile with the 'viv ansanm' terrorist criminal groups. They are not in a conflictual situation or enmity with the criminals but bear the brunt of their acts of banditry, an instrument of unavowed motives. For the Haitian people, Mr. Seba's opinion does not align with the reality they are currently enduring. We fully understood his desire to deliver grand speeches 'in our favor,' but unfortunately, not being situated from the same viewpoint, he sees the opposite of what we see. Unlike him, we believe that only the extermination of criminals can be a path to freedom and peace for the Haitian people. The right to self-determination of the Haitian people, which seems dear to him, cannot be effective under the terror of terrorist gangs. The Haitian people, who are massacred daily and experience multiple terrorist abuses, therefore strongly oppose this discourse which implicitly tends to absolve their tormentors of their merciless crimes.
