Qu’est-ce donc que ce ton de “vivi dodo la chay nan do >> ? De <> de <> pleurant dans les jupes de sa m?re. De <> ? court de mots.
C’est pour le moins irrespectueux envers un peuple qui attend et dit de plus en plus clairement ce qu’il veut et ce dont il ne veut plus.
Quand le PHTK f?d?rait les gangs sous l’oeil bienveillant de madame La Lime, le peuple, en particulier celui qui habite les quartiers pauvres et qui est la premi?re victime des gangs, les d?non?ait.
Quand, ? la demande ou avec la complicit? du pouvoir, des membres de gangs perp?traient des massacres dans les quartiers populaires, le Premier ministre de facto ? venir avait-il pris son ton de pleureur d?pass? pour appeler ? l’aide ?
Qui appelle-t-il ? la rescousse ? Les Nations Unies qui nous ont fait deux cadeaux empoisonn?s : le chol?ra et madame La Lime.
Et que dit-il aux Ha?tiens ? Prenez conscience.
Compromis politique, non. Mesures sociales, non. Mesures de restriction des d?penses du gouvernement, non. Il n’y a pas d’argent sans l’arr?t de la subvention de l’essence. Mais il y en a pour amener aux Nations Unies une d?l?gation pl?thorique. Il y en a pour en semer dans les quartiers chauds pour essayer d’arr?ter les manifestations.
Mais nous avons conscience de notre r?alit?. Pas besoin du pr?chi-pr?cha d’un pasteur sans ?glise pour savoir que la solution est d’abord politique. Que le probl?me politique majeur, c’est le blocage de la mise en place d’un vrai pouvoir de transition.
L’obstacle majeur, c’est le gouvernement de facto dont vous ?tes la t?te. Dans la malice et la mythologie populaire, on pourrait dire une t?te sans k?. Peut-?tre, le savez-vous dans vos convictions intimes, et peut-?tre est-ce pour cela que vous avez adopt? ce ton de fant?me du pass? pour nous parler !
Docteur Henry, vous valez mieux, nous valons mieux que ce discours inepte que vous nous avez sorti.
Et voil? que vous r?clamez de l’?tranger une assistance ? peuple en danger, sans pr?ciser les vrais dangers ni la forme de l’assistance. Que souhaitez-vous pour nous ? Des bottes ? Des kits ? une nouvelle maladie ? vocation ?pid?mique ? Des armes ? Jusqu’ici les armes dont vous disposez visent plus les manifestants que les bandits.
Au final, vous n’?tes pas si <> que ?a. Dans la tradition des Duvalier, qui est contre vous est contre Ha?ti est contre vous.
Petevi et volontariste. Serions-nous condamn?s ? la dictature d’une absence ? Monsieur le premier ministre, ne pleurez pas sur nous. Si vous parlez ? vos amis ?trangers, d’aucuns diraient vos chefs, dites-leur que votre d?mission est une esp?rance nationale.

Gunmen have shot dead the mayor of a small town in western Mexico, and at least 17 others, officials say.
Police say gunmen stormed the San Miguel Totolapan town hall at 14:00 (19:00 GMT) on Wednesday. Photos online show it riddled with bullet holes.
Mayor Conrado Mendoza Almeda’s left-wing PRD party condemned his “cowardly” assassination and demanded justice.
The attack has been blamed on the Los Tequileros criminal gang, which is linked to a powerful drug cartel.
Mr Mendoza Almeda’s father, former mayor Juan Mendoza Acosta, was also killed – in his home – before the attack moved to the town hall.
A highway in the state of Guerrero, where San Miguel Totolapan lies, was reportedly briefly blocked by large vehicles to prevent security forces from getting into the city.

La star du football argentin Lionel Messi a annoncé jeudi que le prochain Mondial, du 20 novembre au 18 décembre au Qatar, serait “sûrement” le dernier de sa carrière, dans un entretien accordé à la chaîne sportive ESPN.
“C’est mon dernier Mondial. Oui, sûrement. Je me sens bien, physiquement, j’ai pu effectuer une très bonne préparation d’avant-saison, ce que je n’avais pas pu faire l’année précédente” pour son arrivée au Paris Saint-Germain, a déclaré le capitaine de l’Albiceleste, âgé de 35 ans.
Cette préparation “a été fondamentale pour mieux débuter et arriver comme je suis arrivé, avec beaucoup de motivation et d’enthousiasme”, a-t-il poursuivi.
Buteur historique en sélection avec 90 réalisations, Messi disputera au Qatar sa cinquième Coupe du Monde après l’Allemagne en 2006, l’Afrique du Sud en 2010, le Brésil en 2014 et la Russie en 2018.
Lors de cet entretien effectué à Paris, l’ancienne star du Barça a encore admis qu’il y avait “de l’anxiété, de la nervosité à l’approche du Mondial. Nous avons hâte d’y être”.
– “Bonne passe” –
Concernant l’équipe d’Argentine du sélectionneur Lionel Scaloni, Messi estime qu’elle est actuellement dans “une bonne passe”.
“Notre équipe est très forte, mais tout peut arriver. Tous les matches sont extrêmement difficiles. Ce ne sont pas toujours les favoris qui gagnent et les choses ne se passent pas toujours comme prévu”, a-t-il ajouté.
L’Argentine fait-elle partie selon lui des candidats au titre suprême ? “L’Argentine fait toujours partie des favoris en raison de son histoire et de ce qu’elle représente. Mais nous ne sommes pas les seuls favoris, il y a d’autres équipes qui nous sont supérieures”, a jugé la “Pulga”.
Evoquant l’après football, il a laissé la porte ouverte à toute éventualité: “Je ne vais pas devenir entraîneur, mais (Zinédine) Zidane avait dit la même chose avant de le devenir puis de remporter la Ligue des champions” (avec le Real Madrid, ndlr).
Messi a affirmé qu’il se considérait comme “un membre du groupe comme les autres”, et a fait l’éloge de Scaloni, “une personne très proche, qui parle beaucoup avec le joueur, qui essaie toujours d’être là pour quoi que ce soit”, selon lui.
Scaloni “travaille pour et par le football, il aime ce qu’il fait et il souffre beaucoup pendant les matchs. Il mérite tout ce qu’il a vécu parce que ce n’était pas quelque chose de facile pour lui… c’est lui qui a tout mis en place”, a estimé le joueur.
L’Argentin a également évoqué l’idylle qu’il entretient avec les supporteurs: “aujourd’hui, les gens en Argentine sont inconditionnels avec moi. Je suis reconnaissant d’avoir vécu ce que j’ai vécu et d’en avoir profité”.
Enfin, sur sa vie privée, il a déclaré qu’il était “un homme très heureux”. “Dieu merci, j’ai la chance de faire ce que je rêve, de le faire depuis que je suis enfant. J’ai une famille et des amis merveilleux”, s’est-il félicité.

The concept of paying yourself first is not a new phenomenon. We all know that self-care is critical, and one of the best forms of self-care is taking care of your finances.
Most people are in the habit of paying for needs, spending on wants, and then saving or investing money last. When you do this, not much emphasis is on saving and investing. The result is that our future wealthy self suffers because we are not taking care of our future finances.
We all have goals and dreams that we want to accomplish, but many of us are unable to do so because we do not know how to prioritize our money.
My mission is for everyone to be wealthy. To achieve this, you must understand how money works and how to manage and multiply your money.
What does it mean to “pay yourself first”?
Essentially, you have to prioritise putting aside money into a savings or investing account as soon as you get paid before spending that money on anything else.
This account should be separate from the account you use to pay your bills and other living expenses. Paying yourself first makes saving or investing for your future self before you spend money a top priority.
There are several ways that you can pay yourself first. The main concept is that you pay yourself like you pay a bill – treat your savings and investments as if they were each a bill.
In the same way that you can’t miss a light bill or your electricity will be disconnected, you can’t miss paying yourself, or you will be struggling with money forever.
One of the easiest ways to pay yourself first is through your employer.
You can do this by setting up a standing order of a certain percentage from your salary to more than one account; or by contributing a percentage of your salary to a retirement plan.
Paying yourself first can be successful by following these suggested tips:
Automate your savings: This reduces the temptation to spend the money you have set aside for saving and can be used for emergencies and short-term needs mainly.Automate your investing: Saving money is no longer enough to build wealth. Therefore, assigning money for investing is vital. For long-term goals such as retirement, investing is a better option for building wealth over time. Investing is how you build lasting wealth.Assign names to your account: This practice will help minimise temptation or dipping into the accounts. Having a “vacation” account or “splurge” account will help you to know how much money you have available to enjoy the luxuries of life and can also motivate you to keep putting aside money in these accounts.Use refunds or bonuses to help enhance your savings and investment accounts. Any and every excess cash you receive should be put to work. Idle money is the worst type of money to have.
I want you to know that money is possible. Follow these steps to pay yourself first, and you will be well on your way to a brighter and richer financial future.

On Sunday, October 2, the St. Lucia Olympic Committee (SLOC) Inc. hosted the local leg of this year’s TAFISA World Walking Day event, which saw nearly 50 people participating.
Defying the mid-morning heat, athletes and officials from various local sports federations participated in Sunday’s walk, which took the form of a relay. This year, Saint Lucia joined around 86 countries across all continents in the annual global relay.
Sunday’s walk began at 10:00 a.m. promptly, taking the following route: Starting outside the Castries Market, continuing up the John Compton Highway, turning left onto Mandela Drive and onto the St. Mary’s College entrance, before doubling back on Mandela Drive and ending outside Olympic House.
Along the way, the baton was passed on to point persons, with each person pledging their federation’s support for the walk and promoting a chosen cause.

Makeba Alcide, Chairperson of the Athletes Commission, said the walk saw good representation from the various national federations.
“We worked in collaboration with SLOC Inc. to host this event,” she said. “We had a really great turnout from our national federations. We had parents, athletes and well-wishers who came together so we could celebrate World Walking Day. Initially, we wanted two persons from each of the twenty national federations; however, some federations had more. So we had about 50 participants, including other people who simply joined in.”
On the importance of walking, Alcide said: “Walking is very important. We just saw during the height of COVID-19 that many people who wanted to do something took up walking. So for us to be able to celebrate World Walking Day with the rest of the world was a wonderful thing.”
Star table tennis player, De Andre Calderon, said the event also served as a social event to meet other athletes.
“I think the walk was a great success. I saw many athletes from different sports, including my fellow table tennis players,” Calderon said. “I think walking is very important for mental health, exercise and just fun, in general. So I advise people to walk regularly.”
Track and field athlete, Immanuel Francis, described the walk as “a very enjoyable experience”, and looks forward to similar events.
“I felt the energy around me and I felt it was enjoyed by my peers and other participants,” stated Francis. “It was a learning experience for all of us and I hope that everyone will continue to participate in the future.”
Meanwhile, track and field athlete and rugby player, Joy Edward, also enjoyed Sunday’s walk, noting her association’s choice of cause.
“It was a great walk. We walked for peace because it’s very important in sports. Without peace, you can lose focus mentally,” she explained.
Launched in 1991, TAFISA World Walking Day has provided a simple and fun way to be physically active and celebrate Sport for All against the global crisis of physical inactivity. Over three decades, millions of people from over 160 countries have made it a habit of walking together on the first Sunday in October each year, turning it into World Walking Day.
As the leading International Sport for All Association, TAFISA strives to raise awareness of the benefits of Sport for All and physical activity.

Barbados’ Triathlete Matthew Wright has come out on top to nab the gold medal in Jordan to make history for Barbados and himself.
The previously 308th-ranked athlete on the World Triathlon rankings jumped 115 places to 193rd with this monumental win on the world stage. Wright was very impressive in the 5th Aqaba Asian Cup held in Jordan on Saturday, October 1, 2022.
The event which comprised a pool of 52 triathletes from across the world, started at the B12 Beach Club in Aqaba with a 1500-meter swim. Wright exited the water in 6th position with a swim time of 18 min 44 sec, just 4 seconds behind the leader Maciej Bruzdziak from Poland, in a time of 18:44 minutes where he slotted himself into the 15-man lead pack of the 8-lap, 40 km bike leg. With 2 laps to go, Wright and training partner Lestyn Harrett from Great Britain, attempted to make a break away from the pack, eventually opening a 10-second gap at one point. This effort proved futile however, Wright dismounted the bike in 4th place, clocking the 3rd quickest bike split in a time of 1 hr 1 min 55 sec, and quickly transitioned to enter the 10km 4-lap run in second place.

A group of six quickly formed during the first 2.5km lap on the run however, led by the strong pace of Harrett, the group whittled down to just four by lap two, with Harrett, Wright, Jason Tai Long NG of Hong Kong, and Cedric Osterholt of Germany. The rapid pace and increasing heat led to Tai Long NG dropping back, leaving training partners Wright and Harrett to battle for the win. After multiple attacks trying to break each other on the last lap, the two athletes who train at the National Triathlon Performance Centre in Cardiff, Wales, were only split by a hair. With 250m to go, Wright landed the killer blow, opening up a 10m gap on Harrett, and sprinted to the line to take the gold with a run time of 30 min 51 sec and a total time of 1 hour 51 minutes and 16 seconds with Harrett and NG, taking second and third place respectively.
