WHAT IS NORMIL RAMEAU'S TRACK RECORD?

Presented as a straightforward technician, endowed with experience and a strong capacity to stem the spiral of generalized insecurity plaguing the country, the interim Director General of the police institution, Rameau Normil, one year after his return, still fails to deliver results. Increase in criminality Stuck in a trial-and-error dynamic, Normil struggles here and there to find appropriate solutions in terms of real responses to the multiple abuses of armed criminal groups who constantly massacre the civilian population. Since the appointment of Normil Rameau as head of the Haitian National Police, armed criminal groups, considered terrorists, have multiplied cases of assassinations and launched new offensives against other neighborhoods in the metropolitan area. Today, the observation is striking: criminal groups, without any fear, have gained more territory by chasing an increasing number of people forced to take refuge in temporary shelters, scattered throughout several regions of the capital. Under his tenure, according to the IOM, over 1.3 million people living in the metropolitan region have been forced to flee their homes to escape gang violence, particularly from the terrorist organization Viv Ansanm, which controls over 85% of the territory in that region. Several thousand homes have been looted and set on fire in Carrefour Feuilles, Delmas 24, Delmas 30, Nazon, and also in the commune of Kenscoff, which is becoming an important headquarters for armed gangs, who appear increasingly formidable. Added to this are Carrefour de l'Aéroport and Delmas 19, which are also becoming neighborhoods plagued by gang violence. Within the HNP ranks More than a dozen armored vehicles belonging to the HNP have been set on fire by gangs, and about twenty police officers have been assassinated. It should be noted that most of the police officers who were victims under Normil Rameau's administration were severely shot on the ground during operations against armed groups. Conflict with the Prime Minister Looking closely at the reality, many people believe that the failure of the current Director of the National Police is due to his inability to get along with Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils Aimé, who, upon taking office, had another protégé in mind for the position. Despite the country's situation, the two men have been embroiled in a controversy for some time, displaying a certain hostility that led to the formation of a special structure (Task Force) to counteract operations against criminal gangs. With a precise agenda, it is the Task Force supervised by Prime Minister Didier Fils Aimé that tactfully ensures the location and elimination of gangs using kamikaze drones designed for this purpose. Human Rights Concerns At this difficult juncture where everything seems to be beyond the control of the highest authorities, the interim Director General of the National Police and the head of the CSPN, namely Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils Aimé, should at least take into account the country's degradation and agree on a security plan, stressed the leader of Défenseurs Plus, a human rights organization. According to Antonal Mortimé, one year after Rameau Normil's return to the head of the HNP, the country is sinking further into the quagmire, and the population desperately seeks a sigh of relief, despite the lack of will and laxity of the members of the CPT and the government. If we were to speak of Rameau Normil's true record as interim Director General of the HNP, we would at least have to mention the name of a powerful gang leader arrested during police operations, concluded Day Mikelson, president of the socio-political organization LECADRE. Everything suggests that Normil is bogged down, with nothing to show for it. No gang leader neutralized. No national road unblocked. Despite a war budget in full execution, Normil's results are very meager. Like his predecessors, he looks in the mirror without being able to address the country's security problems despite the state's efforts to combat gangs. Jacques Innocent
