? l’appel d’organisations de la soci?t? civile et de l’opposition politique, plusieurs centaines de personnes sont descendues dans les rues de Hinche et de Mirebalais le mardi 20 septembre, pour r?clamer, entre autres, le d?part du Premier ministre Ariel Henry ? la t?te du pays, le retrait de l’augmentation des prix des produits p?troliers et la lutte contre l’ins?curit? alimentaire.
Les protestataires ?taient munis de pancartes, de branches d’arbres et de barricades enflamm?es pour faire passer leurs revendications. Depuis le pont Vincent en passant par Cit? du Peuple, Bois-Verna et Cit?-Silence jusqu’au centre-ville, les manifestants ont parcouru presque toutes les rues avant de se rendre sur la place publique Charlemagne P?ralte o? il y avait des perturbations. Gaz lacrymog?nes, jets de pierres et de tessons de bouteilles, entre autres…, ont ?t? au rendez-vous.
<>, a d?clar? Cim? Dieufort Saintilus, secr?taire g?n?ral du parti <>. Avant d’ajouter : <>
<>, a soutenu Cim?-Dieufort Saintilus ? la t?te de la mobilisation anti-Ariel Henry dans les rues.
<>, a poursuivi le militant politique.
Pour sa part, la repr?sentante du parti Pitit Dessalines, Monique Lapointe, croit dur comme fer que le d? est jet?. Ariel doit partir, a-t-elle dit. <>, a d?clar? l’ancienne candidate ? la municipalit? de Hinche, ?galement directrice d?partementale adjointe du MENFP, lan?ant des propos hostiles aux repr?sentants du pouvoir en place qui ont soudoy? des badauds pour faire ?chec aux revendications de la population.
Pour les responsables de <>, un regroupement d’organisations sociales du bas Plateau central, les revendications populaires sont justes et fond?es. Ces responsables ont fait remarquer que les d?cisions prises par le gouvernement Henry sont impopulaires et ne pourraient pas contribuer ? la reconstruction d’une Ha?ti prosp?re et ?quilibr?e.
Notons que depuis une semaine il ne se passe pas une une nuit sans qu’il y ait de tirs nourris et de coups de gaz lacrymog?nes au centre ville de de Hinche et de ses communes p?riph?riques en vue de cr?er une situation de panique et de tension dans l’objectif de faire ?chec au mouvement de protestation de la population contre leurs pr?dateurs.

La rentr?e des classes est maintenue au 3 octobre prochain. Officiellement. Le ministre de l’Education nationale et de la Formation professionnelle s’attend toutefois ? une rentr?e graduelle au cours du mois d’octobre, face au climat de tension que vivent la capitale et les principales villes de province depuis l’annonce par le Premier ministre Ariel Henry d’augmenter le prix de l’essence. A Port-au-Prince et dans d’autres r?gions du pays, les populations payaient d?j? un lourd tribut avec le climat d’ins?curit?, notamment le kidnapping. Alors que la rentr?e des classes s’annon?ait compliqu?e, la d?cision du gouvernement de revoir ? la hausse les prix des carburants a jet? de l’huile sur le feu.
Les actes de violence, de pillage et d’incendie d’?tablissements scolaires dans l’Artibonite (Gonaives, Dessalines, Grande-Saline…), dans le Nord-Est ou dans la Grand’Anse compliquent davantage une rentr?e scolaire marathon. Une trentaine d’?coles a ?t? victime d’actes de vandalisme ces derniers jours. Que ce soit au niveau des infrastructures, de mobilier, de mat?riel didactique, d’infrastructures num?riques (informatiques), de cantine scolaire, mais surtout des archives. Dans un communiqu? dat? du 17 septembre, le minist?re a condamn? les attaques contre les ?coles et appel? ? la protection des infrastructures et archives scolaires. <>, a indiqu? le minist?re.
Selon le ministre, la majorit? des ?coles priv?es victimes de ces actes de vandalisme sont de congr?gation catholique romaine ou anglicane. <<Toutes les ?coles attaqu?es ?taient dot?es de cantines scolaires ou de caf?t?ria, souligne Nesmy Manigat, qui annonce une contribution de l’Etat afin de faciliter la rentr?e des classes dans ces ?coles d?s octobre prochain.
Le ministre a annonc? la cr?ation d’un fonds d’urgence ? travers le Fonds national d’?ducation (FNE) pour venir en aide aux ?coles affect?es. <>, a ajout? le ministre, conscient d’une ann?e scolaire “particuli?re”. <>, a dit le ministre, soulignant que le gouvernement, ? travers diff?rents minist?res, va accompagner les parents, les plus vuln?rables, pour la rentr?e des classes pr?vue dans deux semaines.
Comment cette rentr?e va-t-elle se r?aliser? Selon Nesmy Manigat, <>

Jason DaCosta saddled a two-timer on Tuesday’s nine-race card at Caymanas Park to earn himself well-needed space from three-time defending champion trainer, Anthony Nunes, who has made inroads into his lead atop the stakes standings.
Nunes, who saddled eight winners for the last three meets to whittle DaCosta’s lead to $3.3m entering Tuesday’s meet, came up empty-handed while his rival opened and closed the programme with favourites THEGOODLIFE and SILENT MISSION, respectively.
THEGOODLIFE made all in the opening event at odds of 8-5 with Christopher Mamdeen, fighting off STICKYDON down the backstretch before staying on to hold HIJO PRIMERO at bay by a half-length at six furlongs.
SILENT MISSION benefitted from a well-timed ride under six-time champion jockey Omar Walker to land the ninth race at odds of 4-5 by a neck from ALEXA’S SECRET.
Walker had the Portmore and 1000 Guineas third-place runner tracking a tight group of leaders down the backstretch before making his move off the home turn.
Challenging THIRTYONEKISSES and A GIFT FROM BEN from along the rail, SILENT MISSION pulled off from the battling pair but had to be pushed out to stave off a charging ALEXA’S SECRET, winning the six-furlong event in 1:14.0.
Racing continues at Caymanas Park on Saturday.

A tropical wave located several hundred miles east of the Windward Islands has become better organised this morning.
The US National Hurricane Centre (NHC) says satellite data indicate additional development is expected, and a tropical depression is likely to form within the next few days as the system moves westward to west-northwestward at 15 to 20 miles per hour across the eastern and central Caribbean Sea.
The NHC says interests in the Windward Islands should closely monitor the progress of this system as heavy rainfall and gusty winds could affect these islands beginning on Wednesday.
The tropical disturbance has a 40 per cent (medium) chance of formation in 48 hours and a 70 per cent (high) chance of formation in five days.

Member of Parliament for St Catherine South Eastern, Robert Miller says he has written to Minister of Transport and Mining, Audley Shaw with recommendations regarding the annual increase in toll rates that residents of Portmore have to pay.
Based on the agreement with TransJamaican Highway Limited East-West, a rate increase is granted each year that is in line with inflation.
The most recent increase took effect on July 2 and saw rates going up between 9.09 per cent and 26.67 per cent.
Miller, who was making his contribution to the 2022/23 State of the Constituency Debate in the House of Representatives, said one of his recommendations is that the contract with the toll operator be renegotiated.
Noting that the contract was signed by a previous People’s National Party Government, Miller said: “We, on this (the Jamaica Labour Party) side, believe the contract is inconsiderate and erroneous to the people of the constituency, and citizens of Portmore in particular.”
“I have been in dialogue with the minister and we hope that this vexed issue will be resolved sooner rather than later. We use this opportunity to encourage the toll operators to sit around the table as we come up with solutions in which everyone benefits,” Miller added.
But, while he is hoping for an outcome that will be of benefit to his constituents, Miller acknowledged that the government’s hands are tied “in regards to the yearly increase of the toll cost”.
Portmore residents have for more than a decade complained of the unfairness of paying a toll on a relatively short stretch of road that sees them stuck in traffic for extended periods in the mornings and evenings during peak hours. The alternative route along the Mandela Highway is equally congested during peak hours.
For its part, the operators of Highway 2000, which links Kingston to the South Coast and encompasses the Portmore leg of the toll, raked in US$52.7 million (J$8 billion) in tolls in 2021.
The figure was 16 per cent higher than in 2020, according to the audited report by TranJamaican Highway.
