La population de Guadeloupe pourrait fortement diminuer en 20 ans.
• PHOTO ARCHIVE FRANCE-ANTILLES (ROBERTO BIRHUS)

Selon l’Insee (Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques), d’ici 2070, il n’y aurait plus que 242 000 habitants en Guadeloupe.

En 2018, la population guadeloupéenne était de 388 000 habitants. Néanmoins, depuis 2011 l’on observe un déclin démographique. Cela signifie que le solde naturel ainsi que le solde migratoire sont tous deux négatifs. 

Du fait de notre population vieillissante, d’ici 2070 la part des 65 ans doublerait et celle des moins de 20 ans diminuerait pour atteindre 17%. 

Si ce déclin démographique se poursuit, dans un vingtaine d’années (2042), la population serait de 314 000 habitants. 

En comparaison, en France Métropolitaine, le déclin démographique ne se manifesterait qu’à partir de 2044 avec un solde migratoire ne pouvant compenser le déficit naturel aux alentours de 2035.

Je me souviens de Marion L?andre comme un grand travailleur

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Le Nouvelliste

Impossible, depuis 1974, de ne pas convoquer les souvenirs de <> Coupe du Monde quand arrive une nouvelle ?dition. M?me si le football ha?tien ?tait splendide aujourd’hui, la marque laiss?e dans les esprits et dans les coeurs par les mondialistes ha?tiens de 1974 resterait encore ind?l?bile. Huit sont morts, dix vivent ? l’?tranger, quatre r?sident ? Port-au-Prince : Serge Ducoste, Guy Saint-Vil, Philippe Vorbe, Marion L?andre. J’ai une dette de reconnaissance envers eux tous. Pourquoi est-ce ? ce dernier que j’ai le plus pens? ? l’approche de cette Coupe du Monde ? Par le travail, Marion a surmont? des difficult?s qui ?teignent les ?mes ordinaires. Qui dit travail dit m?rite. Ainsi, je suis parmi une dizaine de personnalit?s du football qui avaient tr?s s?rieusement projet? de lui offrir ? Port-au-Prince un festin jubilaire ce 12 novembre ?coul?. Moment de fraternit? et de solidarit? interdits par les gangs. C’est m? par une d?sesp?rante id?e de compensation ? ce rat?, ? combien involontaire, que je tente de dresser ce portrait de Marion L?andre.

N? au Cap-Ha?tien le 9 mai 1945 au Cap-Ha?tien, l’enfant et adolescent Marion fut loin des scintillements des grands footballeurs capois, les Claude Nemorin, Joseph Obas, Rommel Pierrot, Claude Barth?lemy,Wilfrid Gervais <> et consorts . Donc, quand le 9 mai 1967, le dirigeant du Racing Andr? Josaphat, d’accord avec Auguste Robinson et Michel Jean-Joseph de l’ASC, vint le chercher, lui et Th?odore Jean-Baptiste <>, les fans du football capois voyaient partir un sympathique gar?on, n?anmoins simple rugueux d?fenseur. ? Port-au-Prince, Marion devint capitaine du Racing. ? la fin de sa carri?re, le 9 mai 1978, dans un stade Sylvio Cator en tenue de gala, son club lui organisera un jubil? de toute beaut?, avec le Violette en invit? de marque. Comme le Vieux Tigre le fera pour Philippe Vorbe neuf jours apr?s, avec le Racing comme invit? de marque.

Rien, pourtant, ne fut facile pour le bonhomme. Succ?der ? Andr? Auguste, le premier des fr?res Pelaw, pr?curseur en Ha?ti des arri?res lat?raux techniques, rapides et offensifs ?tait une gageure. En S?lection, Ren? Arg?lus <> de l’Aigle Noir, beaucoup moins brillant que son homologue Andr? Auguste, avait succ?d? ? celui-ci. A?n? largement trentenaire, avec Claudel Legros, de l’?quipe qui allait faire sensation ? San Salvador (0-3) le 28 septembre 1969, Gwo Ren? >> occupait fermement ce poste. Or la S?lection Nationale emplit les r?ves de Marion, de nuit comme de jour. Il avoue <>. En plus de Gwo Ren?, ind?boulonnable au poste d’arri?re droit, Wilfrid Louis du Don Bosco, petit par la taille et la corpulence, grand par la discipline, la pr?cocit? et le talent, lui barrait la route. Il a d?j? 26 ans quand Tassy ne l’emmena pas aux Jeux Panam?ricains de Cali, juillet 1971.

L’appel au Graal arrive le 13 novembre 1971 ? Port-au-Prince contre Nautico Recife du Br?sil, 1-1, penalty de Philippe Vorbe. Il encha?na par une titularisation aux ?liminatoires Concacaf des Jeux Olympiques de Munich ? Trinidad, une place qualificative sur six ?quipes. Alors que Ha?ti bouclera la comp?tition par une excellente 2e place, derri?re le Mexique, agr?ment?e des performances de Sanon et Bayonne, chacun 3 buts, et Vorbe ?lu MVP du tournoi, la poisse, Marion L?andre doit abandonner ses partenaires ? cause d’une fracture de la m?choire lors du second match contre le Honduras (3-1, Bayonne, Sanon, Tom Pouce).

Une fois gu?ri, sans ?tre titulaire, mis en lumi?re dans une pimpante formation du Racing qui survolera la Coupe Pradel de 1972, il est rappel? en S?lection. D’ailleurs, le 14 d?cembre 1972 ? Port-au-Prince, en match amical, il marquera un des trois buts contre Cura?ao, les deux autres ayant ?t? l’oeuvre de Manno Sanon. Ce ne fut qu’une ?claircie dans une mont?e des marches laborieuse. Beaucoup de sueur et de sang. Nager ? contre-courant pour une place au soleil. En effet, des circonstances diverses poussent Tassy ? convertir Pierre Bayonne en lat?ral droit. Concurrencer ce monstre, c’est d?fier un ?l?phant sur le terrain de la force. Et quand les indisponibilit?s cumul?es de Vorbe au milieu du terrain et Jean-Joseph en d?fense semblent lui ouvrir une place de titulaire au crucial premier match du Pr? Mondial, 1e d?cembre 1973 contre Cura?ao, une blessure ? l’aine handicape notre bon Marion. N?anmoins, <>. Aux yeux de Tassy, Bayonne ?tant indispensable au milieu du terrain en l’absence de Vorbe, ou en attaque ? c?t? de Sanon, le poste de lat?ral droit ?tait disponible pour la finesse technique de Wilfrid Louis du Don Bosco ou la pr?sence athl?tique de Marion L?andre du Racing. Les soins ? la cortisone de Docteur Rosarion ayant mis Marion en ?tat de jouer, Tassy le titularisa pour les trois matchs contre Guatemala, Honduras et Mexique.

Pour y arriver, il s’?tait fait juge de lui-m?me : travail en solo son amiti? avec le ballon. Son dribble est approximatif : il ?vite de porter le ballon, privil?gie toujours la passe, ? moins qu’il puisse utiliser le grand pont au fond du terrain pour centrer. Sa vitesse de course ?gale rarement celle de ses adversaires : il ne laisse pas d’espace dans son dos, il anticipe, adopte le recul-frein. Surtout, sa condition physique doit ?tre impeccable. Maniaque, il lui arrive en pleine nuit de se r?veiller en sursaut et travailler abdominaux, pectoraux et squats. Ses adversaires les plus redout?s ? Au d?but de sa carri?re ? Port-au-Prince, Manass? de l’Excelsior. Apr?s 1974, Gary Perrin du Victory et Jean Joseph Mathelier du Violette. Le vrai adversaire qui aurait pu faire passer Marion L?andre pour un charlot, il est Uruguayen et il s’appelle Ruben Corbo. Le 6 juin 1973, Ha?ti re?oit l’Uruguay au stade Sylvio Cator. Deux heures avant le match, l’entra?neur Tassy, pas psychologue pour un sou, effraie l’arri?re lat?ral droit du Racing en ces termes : <> Le d?fenseur perdit ses sens sur le coup. Durant toute la premi?re mi-temps, Corbo martyrisa Marion au point que le m?me Tassy – pr?parez votre ?clat de rires – lui cria du banc de touche : <> Et si la mi-temps, du reste tout le match, se termina 0-0, c’est gr?ce ? un Wilner Nazaire exceptionnel qui colmata toutes les br?ches de la d?fense ha?tienne. Dans ce registre, Marion cite volontiers l’ailier gauche am?ricain Mark Liveric du Cosmos qu’il a affront? en ?t? 1975 dans les rangs du Victory qui l’avait appel? en renfort ? l’occasion de son Tournoi International 30e Anniversaire r?unissant, en plus du Victory lui-m?me, New-York Cosmos, Miami Toros et Violette.

Pour qui sait analyser, cet ?pisode de la carri?re de Marion L?andre prend le sens d’un accomplissement absolu. Bien s?r, si le Violette n’?tait pas invit? ? la comp?tition, on peut parier que Franck Civil aurait sollicit? les services de Pierre Bayonne pour pallier la faiblesse du flanc droit de sa d?fense. Qu’importe, dans un tournoi de si haut niveau, trouver gr?ce aux exigences techniques l?gendaires de l’entra?neur Franck Civil, c’est obtenir un dipl?me universitaire summa cum laude. Franck a d? aussi mettre sur la balance la discipline du joueur, son exp?rience et sa rectitude. En 16 ans de carri?re, en ?tant d?fenseur rugueux, pas un seul carton rouge. Ce profil apparierait bien au m?tier d’entra?neur. Mario le devint par une formation au Mexique et divers stages de la Fifa ou du Comit? Olympique, jusqu’? avoir ?t? dipl?m? de la Fifa comme Formateur de Formateurs en entra?nement de football. S’il a eu plusieurs piges comme adjoint de Piontek et Tassy en S?lection et entra?n? le Racing, le Don Bosco, All Cap, Carioca, c’est son Bacardi de 1979-1981qui demeure son master class. Il ?tait alors un showman hors pair, gagnant ses matchs avec panache et retenant ses joueurs pour un retour au calme actif d?s le coup de sifflet final, appliquant ainsi ? la lettre l’une de ses nombreuses formules : <>.

Ayant fait tout cela et trouver les dispositions mentales et ?motionnelles pour savoir aimer Rose-Mary Henry, se marier avec elle, le tout Port-au-Prince pour t?moin et voir dans les yeux de trois enfants, Mario, Mo?se, Myriam, r?fl?chir l’image d’une famille unie, c’est faire honneur ? ses m?tiers de joueur et entra?neur de football et se proposer comme incarnation du travail qui paie.

TEF head calls on young persons to help build a better Jamaica Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

Executive Director of the Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF), Dr. Carey Wallace, is encouraging young persons to play their part and help build a better Jamaica.

Dr Wallace made the call while delivering the keynote address at the Montego Bay Community College (MBCC) graduation ceremony, held at the Montego Bay Convention Centre in St. James, on November 20.

“There is a Jamaica where it’s peaceful; there is a Jamaica where it is natural for you to become well-off, [have a] nice home, two cars, children in good schools. That Jamaica is available. Call it the Promised Land; call it the Promised Jamaica. It’s there,” he said.

“Who is going to take us from where we are today to that Promised Jamaica? Who should we call upon; foreigners? The elderly? The children? No, it’s us in this room; it is really us that that call is falling on. Why? [Because] you guys are more educated than the average Jamaican. MBCC is no ordinary school. It’s one of the better schools in Jamaica; one of the better colleges, and you have been blessed with that education,” Dr. Wallace added.

He argued that for each of the graduates, there are “about 1,000 others who did not have the privilege of sitting in your seat, so I want you to feel that weight of responsibility. I am placing on your shoulders now for this transformation of Jamaica to get us from where we are to that Promised Jamaica. You are going to have to influence 1,000 persons around you, be that positive influence”.

Meanwhile, Dr. Wallace in congratulating the graduates also commended their parents and guardians for the support they gave while the students studied and for showing up in their overwhelming numbers at the ceremony.

Two hundred and eighty students graduated from the institution at the ceremony.

Embolo scores, Switzerland beat Cameroon 1-0 at World Cup Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

AL WAKRAH, Qatar (AP) — Breel Embolo’s goal lifted Switzerland to a 1-0 win over Cameroon at the World Cup on Thursday and he kept his promise not to celebrate scoring against the country where he was born.

The Swiss forward from Yaounde struck with a right-foot shot in the 48th minute, standing all alone eight metres (yards) out in the middle of the goalmouth to take Xherdan Shaqiri’s low pass.

Embolo then pursed his lips in a wry smile and held his arms out wide, before raising his hands in a gesture of apology as teammates rushed to him near the penalty spot.

He pointed toward Swiss fans behind the goal where he had scored then to Cameroon fans at the opposite corner of Al Janoub stadium.

The 25-year-old forward left Cameroon with his family when he was five. They spent time in France before settling in Switzerland, the country he is now representing at a second World Cup.

Though an African-born player scored, teams from Africa are now scoreless through the four games they have played at this World Cup. All have played higher-ranked teams, and Morocco and Tunisia earned 0-0 draws, respectively against Croatia and Denmark.

Cameroon’s streak of losses at World Cup finals tournaments extended to eight games dating back to 2002.

Brazil and Serbia are also in Group G and they meet later Thursday.

In the move for Embolo to score, it was too easy for the Swiss to pass the ball quickly through the Cameroon defensive lines from left flank to right.

The fast Swiss start to the second half contrasted with a lack of first-half urgency that could hardly be explained by the 1:00 pm kickoff — one of only seven games in Qatar being played entirely in daylight. The heat peaked at 29 Celsius (84 Fahrenheit), humidity was low and most of the playing area was shaded.

Cameroon wasted a clear scoring chance to take control in the 10th minute. A long, straight pass past Switzerland’s central defenders led to Karl Toko Ekambi firing a half-volley shot high over the bar from just 10 metres (yards).

Cameroon exerted little pressure trying to level the game. Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa’s header in the 66th was aimed directly at goalkeeper Yann Sommer who saved easily.

In the next play, a Swiss move down the right flank almost repeated the goal but goalkeeper Andre Onana saved from Ruben Vargas.

MILLA TIME

Cameroon great Roger Milla was paraded on the field before the game. Fans were shown a video montage of his goals at the 1990 World Cup where Cameroon became the first African team ever to advance to the quarterfinals.

Milla was joined by Samuel Eto’o, Cameroon’s greatest player who now heads its soccer federation. Eto’o scored the only goal when Cameroon last won at the World Cup — 1-0 against Saudi Arabia in 2002.

REFEREE’S QUIET DAY

Referee Facundo Tello had a quieter day than when he sent off 10 players in Argentina just before coming to Qatar. He showed red cards to seven Boca Juniors players and three from Racing Club after an extra-time brawl. Here, Tello showed three yellow cards and no red cards. This was the 13th game at the World Cup and no player has yet been sent off.

UP NEXT

Switzerland next play Group H favorite Brazil on Monday evening in Doha. Earlier the same day Cameroon face Serbia.
