Sans parler d’un repl?trage ou d’une cohabitation, Lin? Balthazar, pr?sident du PHTK, signataire de la d?claration conjointe pour un compromis historique, a mis en cause l’efficacit? de certains minist?res. Les titulaires de ces ces derniers devraient laisser leur place ? d’autres personnes. Sur Magik9 ce jeudi 27 octobre 2002, M. Balthazar a nomm?ment cit? les minist?res de l’Education nationale et de la Formation professionnelle, de la Sant? publique et de la Population, de la Justice et la S?curit? publique.

<>, a expliqu? Lin? Balthazar qui rappelle que l’indicateur d’efficacit? d’un dirigeant est le r?sultat.

Pour trouver ce compromis, Lin? Balthazar se dit pr?t ? rencontrer tous les acteurs y compris le premier ministre. <>, a d?clar? le pr?sident du PHTK pr?cisant qu’il ne sait pas encore l’orientation du compromis. <>, a-t-il tranch?.

Par ailleurs, Lin? Balthazar, durant son intervention ? l’?mission Panel Magik, a indiqu? qu’il ne demandait pas le compromis pour avoir de poste au gouvernement. <>, a-t-il fait remarquer.

<>, a nuanc? M. Balthazar.

Dans un contexte o? les accords politiques pullulent, Lin? Balthazar a tenu a soulign? qua d?claration conjointe n’?tait pas un nouvel accord. <>, a-t-il soulign?.

Les signataires, notamment des partis de l’accord PEN, de l’accord de Louisiane, le RDNP, le PHTK et alli?s ont confirm? des pourparlers avec les “autorit?s constitu?es” afin de d?gager un compromis capable de garantir la protection des vies et la libre circulation des personnes et des biens; la reprise totale des activit?s; la stabilit? et l’efficacit? de la gouvernance int?rimaire; la cr?ation des conditions pour l’organisation des ?lections d?mocratiques dans un d?lai ne d?passant pas 18 mois, etc. <>, a indiqu? Lin? Balthazar.

Chol?ra : une cinquantaine d?c?s et plus de 1500 personnes hospitalis?es en Ha?ti

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Le Nouvelliste

Rel?gu? au second plan face aux multiples crises qui dominent l’actualit? en Ha?ti, le chol?ra poursuit son chemin, laissant sur son passage plus d’un milliers de malades et une cinquantaine de personnes d?c?d?es en moins d’un mois.

“Toute personne pr?sentant une diarrh?e aigu? aqueuse, profuse, avec ou sans vomissements, avec ou sans d?shydratation, est consid?r?e comme un cas suspect”, selon la Direction d’?pid?miologie, des laboratoires et de la recherche du MSPP.

Depuis le 1er octobre 2022, 2 274 personnes correspondent ? cette d?finition de cas. De ce nombre, 253 ont ?t? confirm?s par une culture positive pour le vibrio cholerae ou par lien ?pid?miologique, 1 642 ont ?t? hospitalis?s, pour un total de 52 d?c?s.

Toujours selon le dernier bulletin du MSPP publi? ce 26 Octobre 2022, 271 cas suspects et 14 d?c?s ont ?t? d?nombr?s ? la prison civile de Port au Prince.

Deux faits retiennent l’attention dans le bulletin : “la distribution des cas suspects cumul?s par tranche d’?ge et la distribution des cas par d?partement.”

Plus de 1000 cas suspects ont ?t? r?pertori?s chez les moins de 15 ans. Une situation qui ne cesse d’inqui?ter les ?pid?miologistes et les sp?cialistes en maladies infectieuses.

Il y a une semaine le Dr Jean William Pape avait illustr? la gravit? de la situation en informant que sur 79 patients vus dans une garde au centre de traitement de chol?ra des centres Gheskio, 54 ?taient des enfants.

“Parmi les enfants, on a 39 entre O-5 ans, dans cette tranche d’?ge on a 3 enfants avec malnutrition aigu? s?v?re et un choc septique”, avait-il r?v?l?.

Pointant du doigt, l’ins?curit? et la p?nurie de carburant, le Dr Jean William Pape avait pr?conis? un renforcement des campagnes de sensibilisation et la prise de s?rum oral avant m?me de se rendre dans un centre de traitement de chol?ra pour les cas suspects.

Autre fait marquant du bulletin ?pid?miologique du MSPP, c’est la propagation du chol?ra dans 8 d?partements du pays. Le Nord et le Sud-Est sont les seuls d?partements absents dans la distribution des cas suspects, test?s et confirm?s par le MSPP.

“Je crains que le grand public ne soit pas conscient de la gravit? actuelle de la situation en Ha?ti”, a d?clar? Conor Shapiro dans The Boston Globe, le 23 octobre 2022. Pr?sident et chef de la direction de l’association caritative Health Equity International, bas?e ? Newton, qui soutient l’h?pital Saint-Boniface ? Fond-des-Blancs, il croit que c’est la pire crise humanitaire ? laquelle son organisation est confront?e en Ha?ti. <>

Presque tous les h?pitaux et cliniques du pays ont ferm? parce qu’ils ne peuvent pas obtenir de carburant ou de m?dicaments, et en m?me temps, le chol?ra a ?clat?, a d?clar? Shapiro. Saint-Boniface est rest? ouvert gr?ce aux efforts h?ro?ques du personnel ha?tien de l’h?pital, mais on ne sait pas combien de temps ils pourront tenir, a-t-il dit.

Dans le bulletin du 26 octobre 2022 de l’Organisation panam?ricaine de la sant? (OPS/OMS), le nombre de cas suspects en Ha?ti est estim? ? 2243. L’OPS/OMS a mis en exergue les difficult?s auxquelles les autorit?s sanitaires, qui ont d?j? ouvert plusieurs centres de traitement de chol?ra, font face.

“Le transport des ?chantillons provenant d’autres d?partements, notamment de l’Artibonite et des d?partements du Sud vers le Laboratoire national de sant? publique (LNSP) reste difficile en raison des barrages routiers et du manque d’acc?s au carburant.”

Par ailleurs, au moins un cas de chol?ra a ?t? confirm? en R?publique dominicaine depuis la r?surgence de l’?pid?mie en Ha?ti, selon l’OPS/OMS.

Le vice-minist?re de la Sant? collective de la R?publique dominicaine et la direction g?n?rale de l’?pid?miologie du minist?re de la Sant? (MoH) ont confirm? le premier cas import? de chol?ra chez un patient se rendant dans la province d’Altagracia. Le 20 octobre, le responsable du Laboratoire national de surveillance du minist?re de la Sant?, le Dr Defill?, a confirm? un cas de Vibrio cholerae s?rogroupe O1, s?rotype Ogawa. Le patient avait des ant?c?dents de voyage ? Port-au-Prince, Ha?ti, 15 jours avant d’entrer dans le pays. Aucun contact n’a pr?sent? de sympt?mes.

Two shot dead in East End

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: The BVI Beacon

Two men died following an early evening shooting on Friday in East End that also injured another man and a boy, police said.

Dead are Kadeem Frett, 28, of Long Look, and Kawa Cornwall, 38, of Long Bush, and the other man and boy were in stable condition as of Sunday, according to police.

Police Information Officer Diane Drayton told the Beacon the shooting occurred “near a bar on the eastern end of the island locally called 42nd Street.” Police did not provide further information about the incident or the injuries to the man and child.

Police Commissioner Mark Collins described the assault as brazen and reckless, and he expressed hope that members of the public who know the perpetrator or perpetrators will come forward quickly with information, the PIO stated.

“So many more persons could have lost their lives during the early evening hours of this vicious assault,” Mr. Collins said. “It shows a grave disregard for human life not often seen in this territory, which impacts the entire community. We are asking for the public’s help in identifying the person or persons responsible. Any information is considered valuable at this point.”

Shootings denounced

During a Tuesday House of Assembly sitting, Premier Dr. Natalio “Sowande” Wheatley also denounced the shootings, calling them “senseless, reckless, and outright despicable.”Both victims, he added, were his cousins.

“The incident took place shortly after 8:30 p.m. in a very busy and crowded area,” Dr. Wheatley said, adding, “I also wish to reiterate my condemnation of violence in all its forms, especially where it is done with reckless disregard for the sanctity of life and safety of persons.”

The premier also said his government is committed to continuing to make sufficient resources available to the police. “We’ll also soon be bringing the Police Act before this honourable House, which aims to strengthen the legal framework to detect, arrest and prosecute crime,” he added.

Six fatal shootings

The killings were the fifth and sixth fatal shootings recorded this year. On the evening of Aug. 4, Jason Potter of Greenland died after he was shot near the Greenland playing field, police said at the time.

On the night of June 21, Corey Butler was shot near Scatliffe Alley, and he was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the Dr. Orlando Smith Hospital with a gunshot wound to the body, according to police.

On Feb. 24, Le’Shaughm Arr Smith was pronounced dead after a shooting at Huntums Ghut, and on Jan. 30 Jaquan Thomas was allegedly shot and killed outside a residential area in Little Apple Bay.

Il pleut. Ariel Henry, les gangs, le chol?ra…

Une phrase par un invit? qui n’a pas sa langue dans sa poche. Elle secoue l’animateur et une partie de son public. Dans le genre: <>. Au-del? de la peur qu’une telle sentence peut provoquer, peur que l’on peut comprendre, quand on pousse la mis?re ? bout c’est vain de lui demander de s’inscrire dans une <> qui ressemble ? du continu.

Il pleut. Ariel Henry, les gangs, le chol?ra, l’Occident qui blablate aux Nations Unies, l’occupation, viendra, viendra pas… ?

Un tr?s bel article d’Edwidge Danticat dans le New Yorker. Contre l’id?e de l’envoi d’une force militaire en Ha?ti. C’est beau une plume qui a de la m?moire.

Un Ha?tien sur la derni?re liste du Goncourt. Esp?rons que la troisi?me fois sera la bonne. L’homme n’est pas facile (mais qui l’est ?), il y a chez Mackenzy Orcel une quantit? de r?el impressionnante, son oeuvre ne parle pas de rien, et dans son ?criture du travail et une fureur indompt?e.

Ici il pleut. Ariel Henry, les gangs, le chol?ra, l’Occident qui blablate aux Nations Unies, l’occupation viendra, viendra pas… ?, tel petit pays se portant volontaire, une lumpenbourgeoisie qui appelle au secours par peur de son vis-?-vis, le lumpenprol?tariat, la grisaille ? domicile pour qui vit dans un domicile, la grisaille des rues pour qui marche sans aller nulle part…

La col?re d’un peuple qui ne <> pas. Un gouvernement de facto qui s’accroche au pouvoir. Mais qui repr?sente-t-il ? A quelle l?gitimit? peut-il pr?tendre ?

Deux choses pourtant ?videntes : le peuple ne pourra pas faire face ? la hausse des prix et il veut un gouvernement de transition digne de ce nom. S’opposer ? cela, c’est un acte de guerre. On ne peut pas faire la guerre ? quelqu’un et lui demander d’agir en paix.

Il pleut, c’est un octobre gris. Pas m?me l’?lectricit? pour regarder le retour du grand Messi, quelques merveilles match apr?s match. Mais c’est fantaisie. Pour de nombreuses personnes, pas m?me de quoi manger. Et l’eau qui d?vale, s’installe, avec le lot de salet?s et d’infections qui fait les maladies qui <> l’humanitaire. Ah, merveille que l’international ! Aider ? enfoncer un pays dans un bourbier politique et lui proposer le b?ton de la force militaire et la carotte de l’humanitaire.

Il pleut.

Three men are in police custody following the seizure of a firearm and several rounds of ammunition on Brighton Avenue in St Andrew on Wednesday, October 26.

Reports from the Hunts Bay police are that about 10:20 am, law enforcers were conducting a vehicular checkpoint operation on Olympic Way in the parish, when a Honda Civic motorcar was observed being diverted upon the occupants seeing the police.

The car was subsequently intercepted and searched, along with its occupants, and a Taurus 9mm pistol loaded with twelve 9mm rounds of ammunition was found under one of the passenger seats.

A further search was conducted and three 9mm rounds of ammunition were found inside the glove compartment of the vehicle.

The men were subsequently arrested in relation to the seizure.

Their identities are being withheld, pending further investigations by the police.

Only 10 minutes before this incident, the Olympic Gardens police seized a firearm in nearby Olympic Gardens, also due to quick action by a team of police personnel.

Department of Environment Completes Community Distribution of Mosquito Traps

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Antigua News Room

The Department of Environment (DOE), and the Minister of Health, Wellness and the Environment, Hon. Sir Molwyn Joseph, would like to thank all community members who participated in the Department of Environment’s “Waterway Management, Vector Control, and Illegal Dumping and Climate Change Adaptation” Campaign, which was funded by the DOE’s Adaptation Fund and Green Climate Fund Projects.

This campaign was conducted in collaboration with the Antigua Barbuda Defence Force, the National Solid Waste Management Authority, and the Central Board of Health.

The participants included those from the communities of McKinnons (to include Gambles, Yorks, and Upper Fort Road) as well as the communities of Belmont, Briggins, Cashew Hill, Golden Grove, Bendals Road and Whenner Road from Monday 10th October – Tuesday 18th October.

The Department of Environment is currently assessing the number of traps distributed, as well as the overall success of the distribution.

Unfortunately, the Department of Environment has exhausted the current available supply of traps to distribute to the community.

Additional traps will be made available during the Department of Environment’s month of activities in November for Arbour Month 2022.

This will culminate in the Arbour Day Plant Fair and Climate Fest on Thursday 24th November at the Department of Environment.

We would like to thank all who have been a part of this important initiative, and we look forward to continuing to work with communities, NGO’s, CBOs, and other partners for the rest of 2022 and into 2023.

Additional traps are also on order to be distributed to communities and entities such as schools within Antigua and Barbuda in early 2023.

A number of these traps will be made available at a reduced price to local stores and community groups for sale and fundraising purposes.

For those who have received the mosquito traps, the DOE is requesting to send photos of the sticky pads to [email protected] and cc Mr. Vekash Khan at [email protected].

Bowen

REAL NEWS-

Sherfield Bowen – the second United Progressive Party Candidate alleged by Prime Minister Gaston Browne to be planning a desertion – is denying those claims.

Bowen joins Sean Bird, the UPP Candidate for St. John’s Rural East who was also named, in going public to refute Browne’s allegations.

Bowen, the St. Phillip’s South Candidate, says the Prime Minister must not be in his right mind to make such utterances, and he accuses Browne of lying to score political points, cause confusion, and provoke his opponents.

Earlier, Bird said the Prime Minister is running scared; therefore, Browne is seeking to attack him and Bowen since it is obvious they are leading in their constituencies.
