HLLN Statement
July 13, 2005
URGENT ACTION REQUESTED

The Haitian Lawyers Leadership Network unequivocally denounces all attempts at legitimizing the Coup D'etat and defacto protectorate the Bush Administration has imposed on Haiti. To that end, HLLN denounces, Ron Daniels and the meeting convened by Ron Daniels in Atlanta Georgia for July 22 - 24, 2005. It is another farcical and fraudulent attempt by Ron Daniels, as stooge for the Coup D'etat regime, to give a "progressive" and "African-American" face to the Bush regime change in Haiti. We remind Ron Daniels and all the proposed participants of this meeting that the Congressional Black Caucus, the African Union, CARICOM, Venezuela and all who uphold the sanctity of the one-person-one-vote principle, have not formally recognized the puppet government in Haiti nor stand for the continued disenfranchisement of the people of Haiti.

Ron Daniels is a Coup D'etat supporter who has been discredited by every Haitian freedom fighter in Haiti and abroad, including losing his job at the Center For Constitutional Rights for his heinous behavior on Haiti. Yet, Ron Daniels has powerful regime-change friends in the U.S. State Department and with the morally repugnant Haitian bourgeoisie, and the radical revolutionaries from Haiti who have become imperialist lackeys, such as PABDA, Chavannes Jean Baptise, MPP and certain opportunist former Lavalas. Thus, Ron Daniels continues to try and further compromise Haitian sovereignty, democracy, justice and peace.

But, to date, all of Ron Daniels attempts at cloaking himself as an "impartial facilitator" for Haiti have been unmasked just as the "rebels" who oustered the elected government of Haiti have been finally unmasked as mainly the former Tonton Macoutes now called FRAPH and the demobilized Haitian soldiers sheltered and trained in the Dominican Republic and supported by the U.S.

Yet, even though he's been unmasked, like Guy Phillipe who has just announced his candidacy for President of Haiti, Ron Daniels continues to announce himself as "honest broker" for Haiti. HLLN denounces Daniels, his continued Coup D'etat works and U.S. disinformation campaigns. Basically this symposium he proposes could easily be entitled "The Ron Daniels' No Haitian Voters, No Problem Symposium, Part 2."

Just as in his Washington meeting, some of these "confirmed" invitees do not know they have been deemed "confirmed;" do not know that Haiti's most popular party has taken its distance from Daniels, and said "confirmed invitees" are, as usual, utilized to draw in other
unsuspecting participants and give legitimacy to Daniel's State Department campaign to give a "progressive" and "African-American" face to the most brutal re-colonization attempt of Haiti to date. (See, "Ron Daniels and the Haiti Support Project is at it again... "by Marguerite Laurent, March 11, 2005 http://www.margueritelaurent.com/pressclips/danielsatitagain.html )

Please, if you know any of the noted "confirmed invitees" below, let them know that Ron Daniels has been discredited with regards to Haiti. Let your representatives know that Ron Daniels and the Lavalas individuals he notes in this "confirmed" list DO NOT represent the
people of Haiti. Let them know Daniels' Coup D’etat activities are well known to Haitian activists, the poor majority in Haiti and the international pro-democracy, peace and justice community.

Join the FREE HAITI MOVEMENT: help stop the slaughter of the poor majority in Haiti by the Coup D'etat regime and supporters, began by denouncing Ron Daniel's and his disinformation campaigns in the U.S. (See below Daniel's "No Haitian Voters NO Problem" National Symposium July 22 - 24, 2005, Atlanta, Georgia, USA)

A Closing Thought
Can Haiti Avoid an Implosion?

The second Symposium on the Future of Democracy and Development in Haiti takes place at a time when the nation is reeling from the impact of an array of destructive forces. Given the deteriorating situation in Haiti, time and time again the question must be asked, is there a sufficient body of Haitian leaders and opinion makers who have the will to overcome a politics which has all to often been characterized by a winner take all, zero-sum, no compromise attitude? Are there leaders who are prepared to reach out to each other to work in a principled manner to find a formula of justice and reconciliation that
can serve as a basis for decisively moving the country forward along the path to sustained democracy and development? Or, will the ancient customs of rivalry, antagonism, selfishness, greed, corruption, political violence and the disregard for the long suffering Haitian masses continue to prevail?

In the current crisis of chronic insecurity, clinging to the old habits can only lead to a meltdown, an implosion in which Haiti virtually ceases to exist as a viable nation-state. The only rational way forward is through frank and principled dialogue and constructive engagement among various parties and constituencies to reach an accommodation and to create the environment in which the habits, customs, practices and institutions of democracy can flourish. In a real sense the challenge is to enable and empower the masses of theHaitian people to fulfill their dreams and aspirations as citizens of the first Black Republic in this hemisphere – it is to fulfill the promise of one of the greatest revolutions in history!Therefore, this Symposium must not be just another meeting. Together, we must discuss concrete proposals for building trust and building bridges among leaders, parties and constituencies in the interest of achieving a brighter future for Haiti. Of necessity this will require give and take, compromise and a willingness to overcome past antagonisms in the interest of saving the nation and improving the quality of life of the Haitian people. Ambassador Andrew Young and I believe this Symposium can make a modest contribution towards reaching this goal. Your participation will help ensure the success of this effort.
