Ha?ti, l’entente fait la force

La s?lection nationale de football des amput?s a lamin? samedi ? Miami, au stade Emmanuel Sanon de Little Haiti, la s?lection am?ricaine par 6 buts ? 0. C’est un exploit. En mars dernier, en ?liminatoire, les Am?ricains avaient battu les Ha?tiens 2-1. Belle revanche en match amical.

Pour gagner, les Ha?tiens avaient une s?lection renforc?e de joueurs vivant en Ha?ti et d’autres aux USA. Des anciens qui ont d?j? particip? ? une Coupe du monde de la cat?gorie et de jeunes joueurs. En octobre prochain, en Turquie, ils participent ? une nouvelle Coupe du monde de leur cat?gorie.

L’entente entre les uns et les autres est le point fort de cette formation.

Il en est de m?me pour la s?lection ha?tienne de football f?minin. Les joueuses ?voluent partout mais se rassemblent pour d?fendre les couleurs nationales. Comme pour les amput?s, l’entraineur est un ?tranger, Fran?ais pour les filles, Am?ricain pour les messieurs.

La vraie langue de ces deux ?quipes est l’amour du football.

Autre ?quipe, autre histoire, m?me victoire, la s?lection nationale ha?tienne U-21 de volley-ball est sortie championne de la Cara?be dans sa cat?gorie ? l’issue d’un tournoi ? Trinidad et Tobago. Trois joueurs ha?tiens ont d?croch? des distinctions individuelles.

Oubli?e du grand public mais pr?sente sans r?pit dans le coeur et les efforts des joueurs et des dirigeants de la F?d?ration ha?tienne de Volley-ball, la pratique de ce sport continue de faire son chemin et d’?crire son histoire.

Faute de grande affluence et de public monstre pour les soutenir, joueurs, joueuses, entra?neurs et dirigeants font preuve d’une entente parfaite pour d?crocher des r?sultats.

Dans la musique aussi les Ha?tiens s’entendent. Klass a rendu hommage ce week-end ? Tropicana, plus pr?cis?ment au chanteur de 56 ans de carri?re Parisien Fils-Aim? lors d’une soir?e de gala au Hyatt Regency de Miami. Belle f?te, belle entente entre membres de formations musicales diff?rentes et musiciens de g?n?rations diff?rentes.

Rutshelle et Tafa Mi-Soleil ont partag? une m?me sc?ne ce week-end, pendant que Wendy affiche concert apr?s concert une belle brochette de stars de la musique ha?tienne. L’entente fait la force dans la musique et tout le monde y gagne.

Les derniers qui l’ont compris repr?sentent le groupe le plus hot des derni?res ann?es : Carimi.

Les propri?taires et fondateurs de CARIMI avaient d?cid? un jour de se disperser et les trois messieurs Carlo, RIchard et MIkael avaient fait chacun leur chemin.

Pour le meilleur et pour la force, une entente a ?t? trouv?e et ils s’appr?tent ? remonter ensemble sur sc?ne dans l’une des plus grandes salles de spectacle de France et attendent de reconqu?rir le monde comme CARIMI.

Ce retour est une grande premi?re dans l’histoire de la musique ha?tienne. Il illustre ? merveille que l’entente fait la force.

Le seul secteur qui refuse de prendre l’entente comme ciment de leur aventure demeure le secteur politique. Nos politiciens cultivent la division comme d’autres le riz. Malheureusement ils ne r?coltent pour le pays que l’ins?curit?, la corruption et la mauvaise gouvernance.

Messieurs, l’entente fait la force en Ha?ti comme ailleurs sauf quand la raison du plus fort s’impose. Pour le moment, vos faiblesses vous divisent et vous vous baignez tous dans un grand bain d’immobilisme. Pour notre malheur.

Reggae Girlz qualify for back-to-back World Cups | Loop Jamaica

Jamaica defeated Haiti 4-0 on Monday night at the Concacaf Women’s Championship in Mexico to qualify for their second straight FIFA World Cup

With the victory, Jamaica finished second in Group A of the preliminary round, which handed the Reggae Girlz a direct pass to the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

The defending World Cup champion United States won the group, also qualifying for the 2023 World Cup.

Kristie Mewis scored in the 89th minute to break a stalemate and the United States beat Mexico 1-0 in the other Group A game.

The Americans had already qualified for the 2023 Women’s World Cup ahead of the game.

Khadija Shaw had a pair of goals, and Trudi Carter and Drew Spence also scored for the Reggae Girlz.

The Manchester City forward got her goals in the 59th and 70th minutes following the opening goal by Carter in the 26th minute. Spence completed the scoring in the 79th minute.

Jamaica’s second qualification to the Women’s World Cup came four years after they created history in the United States by becoming the first Caribbean team to reach the showpiece event.

On that occasion the Reggae Girlz achieved the feat by defeating Panama 4-2 on penalties in their third-place playoff match at the 2018 Concacaf Women’s Championship at the Toyota Stadium in Texas.

This time, however, the Reggae Girlz secured a direct pass.

Canada beat Costa Rica 2-0 earlier Monday to win Group B. Both teams had previously qualified for the World Cup as the top two finishers in their group.

Canada will face Jamaica in one of the tournament’s semifinals.

The United States will take on Costa Rica in the other semifinal.

Haiti finished third in Group A but will have a chance to make the World Cup when they play in an intercontinental playoff in February in New Zealand.

Panama beat Trinidad and Tobago 1-0 to secure third place in Group B and a spot in the intercontinental playoff for another chance to make the World Cup field. Marta Cox scored for Panama just before halftime.

The winner of the eight-team Women’s Championship will earn one of the region’s spots in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The teams at the Women’s Championship participated in a moment of silence for Jedine Carr, a player for Jamaica’s youth national team who was fatally shot on Friday while on the way to training with her club team.

PCA: Rights were trampled during police raid on Rich Plain mosque

The Masjid Al Hudaa in Rich Plain Diego Martin. – SUREASH CHOLAI

A group of police officers from the Inter Agency Task Force (IATF) and the Western Division may be facing charges after the findings of a preliminary investigation by the Police Complaints Authority (PCA) found that the actions of the officers may constitute criminal offences.

A media release from the PCA on Monday reported that preliminary investigations were launched into the officers’ conduct in searching Masjid al Hudaa at the corner of Hassanali Lane and Rich Plain Road, Diego Martin on April 22 and 23.

Police searched the Masjid for a person of interest after the shooting death of PC Clarence Gilkes.

During their searches, officers reportedly walked on prayer mats with their shoes on and destroyed fruits and appliances as worshippers were preparing to break the fast for Ramadan that afternoon.

The release said the authority investigated the officers’ conduct during a raid on the Masjid al Hudaa and during the course of the investigation, the PCA received information and other evidence pointing to police officers assaulting worshippers who were present at the mosque and also desecrating that place of worship.

The PCA also learnt that the party of officers involved in the raid on the mosque, was also involved in an exercise hours earlier, in which PC Gilkes was killed.

Worshipper Yahya Karim of the Masjid Al Hudaa in Rich Plain, Diego Martin, speaks to Newday on Monday. – SUREASH CHOLAI

The PCA said it was of the view that several criminal offences may have been committed and, as such, it referred the matter to the DPP as well as the Acting Police Commissioner for action for the related disciplinary offences, on June 27.

The release added that the PCA’s dossier on its investigations into the police officers in question was also forwarded to the Office of the Attorney General as there may have been breaches to the Constitution.

Newsday contacted the PCA on Monday for further details on what the breaches to the Constitution were but they declined to comment noting that it was before the Attorney General for consideration.

They did note this was not the first time files were sent to the Attorney General from their office.

“We are not in a position to divulge the particulars of our findings in detail, however, it can be noted that there were issues that became apparent during the course of the investigation that may engage the office of the Attorney General.”

Worshippers consider legal action

Newsday visited Masjid Al Hudaa on Monday afternoon and spoke with worshipper Yahya Karim who was also at the Mosque during the raid in April.

Karim said he was impressed with the pace of the PCA’s enquiries into the raid and was hopeful proceedings would lead to the penalisation of officers for any wrongdoing.

He added that, in addition to the PCA’s probe, the worshippers will also be seeking advice from attorneys on what redress would be possible.

“We were already informed, just today I had some discussions with Mr West and even outside of this incident we are seeking independent legal counsel against the State.

“We are hopeful, I am thankful to the PCA because this is the first time we have seen anything being taken so seriously and moving so quickly so we are hopeful, obviously there is still some pain and hurt over the incident but we are hopeful justice will be dealt with in our favour.”

Karim said he was happy the matter was being investigated and felt the officers involved acted the way they did to deliberately disrupt the Masjid’s activities without just cause.

“It’s not like they did something lawful, they told us ‘No fast can’t break here today,’ they destroyed foodstuff, they knew what they were doing was to hurt us back. And I am assuming it looked like they were seeking revenge for the death of their colleague and we are hopeful this will be resolved.”

Contacted for comment, acting Police Commissioner McDonald Jacob said he would be better able to respond to the PCA’s media release on Tuesday.

“Once I get the opportunity to go through the correspondence I will be able to respond.”

He also noted that the probe into Gilkes’ death was still under active investigation.

In May it was reported that an acting corporal and two police constables were placed on suspension after a ballistics report showed Gilkes was shot from behind.

Friends killed by police remembered as inseparable in life

A relative of Fabien Richards is consoled by his mother Nicole Richards, during his funeral at Latoya Rhea Romany Funeral Chapel, St James, on Monday – Angelo Marcelle

Isaiah Roberts and Fabien Richards, two of three people killed by police two Saturdays ago at Independence Square, Port of Spain, were inseparable in life, mourners were told at Richards’ funeral on Monday.

Roberts, 17, was buried on Friday.

The third person, 17-year-old Leonardo Williams, will be buried on Tuesday.

During her tribute, Sadyi John, Richards’ girlfriend and Roberts’ aunt, said her nephew and Richards, 21, were always together, and when Roberts could not go out with Richards, he would not go to sleep until he was sure Richards was back home. John said everywhere Richards went, Roberts wanted to go. She said it was heartbreaking to know they were killed, but she was comforted by the fact that Roberts, like Richards, was a Christian.

“I know that he is waiting for Fabien and they will be together for everlasting life. They went together and I know they will spend the rest of eternity together.”

Also paying tribute was Richards’ cousin Ricardo Reyes who spoke at Ahh-Venue, Church Street, St James, where Richards’ funeral was held.

Reyes said relatives will get revenge through God.

Fabien Richards’ body is removed from the Latoya Rhea Romany Funeral Chapel in St James after his funeral on Monday. – Angelo Marcelle

“I know vengeance is not our own, vengeance is God’s and I am positive we will get revenge,” he said as the congregation clapped loudly. Richards, Williams and Roberts were killed by police on July 2. Police claimed they were fired upon and had to return fire resulting in the three being killed.

Three others survived, including a 15-year-old who was shot in the arm and grazed on the abdomen and leg. Police claimed a Smith and Wesson pistol was found in the car.

The autopsy reports said Richards died of multiple gunshot wounds to the back of the head, neck and upper limbs. Williams died from multiple gunshots wounds to the back, right buttocks and forearm. Roberts died of multiple gunshots to the back of the head and right lower back.

Reyes added that he was a proud man from Laventille and encouraged those in attendance from so-called hot-spot areas to be proud of their addresses.

“Don’t be afraid to put your address when applying for a job, and if they don’t hire you that is their problem, not yours.”

During the eulogy, Richards’ mother Nicole Richards recalled giving birth to him at home after many false alarms. She said her son became like her grandson after his sister Nicola cared for him most of his life like a mother would. Nicola, who paused to cry during the eulogy, recalled that at the age of 11, Richards said he wanted to get baptised.

Bishop Patrick Denoon of the St John’s Spiritual and Love Baptist Church, who described himself as Richards’ spiritual father, took a page from Pastor Wayne Baptiste, who officiated Roberts’ funeral. Both men spoke of time, referencing Psalm 90, and the importance of using it wisely.

He said the only negative thing he could recall about Richards was that he was cheap. He told the congregation that while they mourn, remember love conquers all and Richards was a loving soul.

“He used to get me vex sometimes because we can be talking about serious things but he laughing. But I got to understand him, and that was his trigger to release his stress and frustration.”

Richards was buried at the Tunapuna public cemetery while Roberts was laid to rest at the San Juan public cemetery.

Jacob to attorney: Police always preserve evidence

Acting Commissioner of Police Mc Donald Jacob. –

ACTING Police Commissioner Mc Donald Jacob on Monday said the police would do its job and preserve all evidence gathered in the triple police-involved killing on July 2.

Responding to Newsday, Jacob answered questions about a letter sent to him by an attorney representing one of the three people who survived the police shooting.

“I indicated the letter is for us to preserve the evidence. We are about the rule of law and it is normal procedure to preserve for the court and in some instances there are matters that will have civil litigation so, therefore, there is always a need for us to retain all evidential materials.”

Last Friday, attorney Om Lalla, who is representing a 15-year-old shot during the alleged shoot-out between police and six people in car, wrote to Jacob requesting that all evidence be preserved. In a four-page letter to Jacob, which was copied to director of the Police Complaints Authority David West, Lalla requested all CCTV footage from the police, national security cameras and surrounding businesses be preserved.

He further asked the same be done for body camera footage; ballistic reports, which include the amount of ammunition used and the officers who fired their weapons; the autopsy report from the Forensic Science Centre; evidence that the police vehicle was shot at; the station diary report, and the medical report of the victims.

Lalla’s client is one of three survivors of a police-involved shooting that took place along Independence Square, Port of Spain. Isaiah Roberts, 17, along with Fabien Richards, 21, and Leonardo Williams, 17, were killed after police officers said they were shot at after the car the three were in crashed into Republic Bank, Independence Square.

Police said in a media release that a Smith and Wesson pistol was found in the car and seized.

Williams will be buried on Tuesday while Richards and Roberts were buried on Monday and last Friday respectively.

Lalla’s client said they were chased from Diego Martin to Port of Spain by police and when they reached Port of Spain, the driver turned south along Chacon Street and was slammed into by another police vehicle heading west, causing the car to crash into Republic Bank.

“Upon crashing, the occupants of the vehicle who remained in the vehicle alive and unharmed, which included my client, heard the sounds of further gunshots and were hit by bullets. Three of the occupants of the vehicle died as a result.”

Lalla said his client’s version of the event “represents a wholly unwarranted and blatant example of excessive force by the police.”

Three police officers were re-assigned to clerical duties as the matter is being investigated.
