Le d?fi paraissait ?norme. Comment amener des milliers de participants ? Wahoo Bay pour assister ? un festival, interrompu durant 2 ans, dans un contexte marqu? par l’ins?curit?, la raret? du carburant, des guerres de gangs et une flamb?e des prix des produits de premi?re n?cessit?. Qu’? cela ne tienne, Sumfest a bien eu lieu. Le public a r?pondu ? l’appel. Les artistes n’ont pas fait faux bond. Les ouvriers de la r?cr?ation, les acteurs de la restauration, les policiers, les agents de s?curit?, les gagne-petits, ?taient ?galement de la partie. Tout moun te la. Pari gagn?.

Tout ou presque ?tait d?j? pr?t au Wahoo Bay pour accueillir cette quatri?me ?dition ? l’arriv?e dimanche de l’?quipe de Ticket Magazine vers 9h15 du matin. Les pr?pos?s ? la s?curit? sont sur leurs gardes. Des dizaines de grille m?tallique sont install?es pour organiser la billetterie, l’entr?e et la sortie. Sur le site, tout est visible. A commencer par les hangars pour les restaurants. Le stage. Ou encore l’espace VIP, construit entre le rivage et une mer placide.

Les festivaliers ont pris du temps pour affluer sur la plage. Certains ont pr?f?r? tuer le temps ? l’int?rieur de la piscine, ou sur la cour de l’h?tel. Le groupe Fazz, l’artiste Mr Zom? et le DJ NOS ont ?t? les premiers ? performer dans le festival, devant quelques dizaines de personnes. Apr?s plus d’une heure d’interlude, Boukman Eksperyans, Danola et Andy Beatz se sont succ?d? devant une foule qui n’arr?tait pas de grossir. La performance d’Andy Beatz, l’une des porte-?tendards du rab?day a ?t? des plus remarquables.

Au rayon de ceux qui se sont d?marqu? du lot, on peut retenir la performance de Krey?l La pour les groupes Konpa, de Roody Roodboy, comme artiste vari?t? et du duo Pdous et DJ Bullet dans la cat?gorie des DJ. Roody Roodboy et T-Joe Zenny ont confort? leur costume de b?tes de sc?ne alors que le tandem Bullet Pdous ont mis leurs platine et micro au service d’un public qui ne demandait rien de plus: de la musique et encore de la musique. Le public a ?galement appr?ci? les prestations de Enposib, Ka?, Pierre Jean, Baky et ses amis, Ng Mix x Vag lavi et de Team Madada. L’invit? sp?cial, le chanteur nig?rian Omah Lay a fait son show, obtenant quelques moments d’harmonie avec le public. Mais n’a r?alis? rien d’extraordinaire.

Les organisateurs satisfaits

Contact? par la r?daction de Ticket Magazine, Harry Luc, l’un des membres de l’organisation du festival n’a pas cach? sa satisfaction. <>, cro?t Harry Luc.

Dans la foul?e, le promoteur a reconnu certaines failles dans l’organisation du festival ce 31 juillet. La pluspart s’explique par les incertitudes qui planaient sur l’?v?nement. <>, a-t-il poursuivi.

Questionn? sur la strat?gie mise en place pour obtenir cette grande affluence, Harry Luc a r?v?l? ? Ticket Magazine que le paquet a ?t? mis sur l’Artibonite. <>, a-t-il indiqu?.

En d?pit de la situation difficile dans laquelle est plong? le pays depuis plusieurs ann?es, Harry Luc croit que les secteurs vitaux du pays ne doivent pas capituler. Pour lui, il y va de la n?cessit? de p?renniser certains projets et d’entretenir un h?ritage. <>, soutient le PDG de Handz-Up. Malgr? les incertitudes, cette 4e ?dition a bien eu lieu et a d?pass? les attentes. Rendez-vous le 30 juillet 2023? Et pourquoi pas ?

?quipements pour la PNH, il y a un passif entre l’?tat ha?tien et la communaut? internationale, selon Jean Michel Lapin

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Le Nouvelliste

Une fois de plus, l’ancien Premier ministre Jean Michel Lapin soutient que l’actuel gouvernement n’a pas besoin d’un accord politique pour r?tablir la s?curit? dans le pays. La s?curit?, dit-il, doit ?tre garantie de fa?on permanente ? travers les structures de s?curit? de l’?tat. <>, recommande-t-il.

Il faut donc rassurer la population et cela exige un leadership au niveau du Conseil sup?rieur de la police nationale (CSPN). <>, ajoute-t-il.

L’ex Premier ministre est revenu sur ses exp?riences ? la t?te du CSPN et, particuli?rement, dans l’acquisition des ?quipements pour la police. Jean Michel Lapin pense que le renforcement op?rationnel de la PNH doit se faire autour d’un objectif et avec une ?quipe de m?tier et de professionnalisme au niveau de l’institution polici?re.

Du temps qu’il ?tait ? la Primature, Jean Michel Lapin explique qu’il avait d?fini un circuit pour commander des ?quipements pour la PNH. <>, explique Lapin. L’?tat doit recommencer ? z?ro ? pr?sent, regrette l’ancien chef de gouvernement, ? cause du probl?me de la continuit? dans l’?tat et parce que certains veulent, d?s qu’ils arrivent, orienter l’acquisition d’?quipements pour la police ou l’?tat en g?n?ral.

S’il est difficile pour l’?tat ha?tien de commander des ?quipements pour la police, cela est d?, estime Jean Michel Lapin, a un passif des autorit?s ha?tiennes aupr?s de la communaut? internationale. <>, fait savoir Lapin.

Selon l’ancien chef de la Primature, l’?tat ha?tien s’est mis d’accord sur quatre points avec la communaut? internationale : ou acheter les ?quipements, leur date d’arriv?e dans le pays, leur pr?sence ? la r?ception des ?quipements et leur implication dans la gestion de la distribution des ?quipements et mat?riel.

Cependant, ? entendre l’ex PM, l’?tat ha?tien n’a pas toujours respect? ses engagements. <>, fait savoir Jean Michel Lapin qui pense qu’on doit apporter une correction ? ce niveau. <>, pr?cise-t-il.

Toutefois, l’ancien chef du gouvernement croit que le probl?me de la PNH va au-del? de la question d’?quipements. <>, d?clare Lapin en pr?cisant que cela exige un leadership administratif et un leadership technique.

Jean Michel Lapin avoue qu’il a voulu intervenir sur la question de s?curit? quand il ?tait ? la Primature. Son premier travail, dit-il, a ?t? de renforcer la Commission nationale de d?sarmement, de d?mant?lement et de r?insertion (CNDDR). Son deuxi?me travail, poursuit-il, ?tait de remobiliser la police nationale autour de la s?curit? publique comme objectif. <>, indique l’ex PM qui croit que le premier ministre Ariel Henry est en mesure de garantir la s?curit? du pays car il se trouve dans une situation d’exception o? il n’a de compte ? rendre qu’au peuple.

Jean Michel Lapin est ?galement revenu sur l’acquisition des blind?s pour la PNH que beaucoup estiment ne pas ?tre de bonne qualit?. Selon lui, c’est une ?quipe compos?e de repr?sentants de la police et du minist?re de la justice entre autres qui ?tait charg?e de trouver un fournisseur ?tranger pour acheter les blind?s. Administrativement, dit-il, cette ?quipe a command? ces ?quipements directement aupr?s du fournisseur de service. Et c’est la BRH qui a proc?d? au paiement de mani?re ?lectronique ? partir des indications du fournisseur.

McCoy’s 6-17 sets up West Indies T20 win over India Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

BASSETERRE, Saint Kitts (AP) — West Indies levelled their Twenty20 series with India after Obed McCoy bagged a record six for 17 in the second match on Monday.

McCoy, a left-arm seamer, produced the best West Indies bowling figures in a T20 to help bowl out India for 138 in 19.4 overs.

West Indies made hard work of the chase in the end at 141 for five in the last over, three days after losing the first match by 68 runs.

The five-match series is at 1-1 with the third game on Tuesday staying in Basseterre.

The change in venue from Trinidad to Saint Kitts invigorated the West Indies, but also caused a three-hour delayed start because of the late arrival in the country of the teams’ kit and gear.

Brandon King, in for Shamarh Brooks, crushed the first ball of the chase to the deep point boundary off Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

King’s partner, Kyle Mayers, went for eight in an opening stand of 46, and captain Nicholas Pooran for 14, but after 10 overs West Indies was 73 for two and cruising.

King kept going until the 16th over when he was bowled by Avesh Khan, India’s extra seamer for the match. King scored a career-best 68 from 52 balls.

When he left at 107 for four, West Indies needed 32 more runs from 27 balls. What should have been a comfortable win turned into a nervy end with 10 needed off the last over.

The finish came quickly when Devon Thomas, West Indies’ other change from the first T20, hit a six and four to give them a five-wicket win. Thomas was 31 not out from 19 balls.

India captain Rohit Sharma defended giving main striker bowler Kumar only two overs, both in the powerplay.

“We know Bhuvneshwar, what he brings to the table, but if you don’t give opportunity to Avesh or Arshdeep (Singh) you will never find out what it means to bowl at the death for India,” Sharma said. “They have done it in the IPL. (This is) just one game, those guys don’t need to panic. They need backing and opportunity.”

After West Indies chose to bowl, McCoy’s bounce took out Sharma with the first ball. He also bagged Suryakumar Yadav with the first ball of his second over.

Shreyas Iyer slashed at Alzarri Joseph and edged behind, and Rishabh Pant was caught on the boundary after 24 from 12 balls. India was 61 for four in the seventh over but began to crawl.

Joseph, who conceded 17 runs in his first over, rebounded to finish with one for 29.

India went almost six overs without hitting a boundary, and McCoy returned to mop up.

In the 19th over, he got Dinesh Karthik to mistime, Ravichandran Ashwin to hole out in the deep, and Kumar to edge behind. India was 129 for nine and McCoy’s six for 17 including a maiden over was West Indies’ best figures, and the seventh best all-time in T20s.

“Great feeling to do it against a top side like India,” McCoy said. “Went in with a clear mind. Was overthinking in the previous game.”

Jason Holder yorkered Khan for two 23 and end India’s innings with two balls to spare.
