Spotlight on Liliane Pierre-Paul as husband Anthony Barbier appointed

The problems for radio superstar Liliane Pierre-Paul did not finish with the end of Martelly's government. With the decision of Provisional President Jocelerme Privert to pick her husband, Anthony Barbier, to become the new general secretary of the National Palace, the spotlight is once again on her.

PM Evans Paul marginalized at Jocelerme Privert' investiture

Just like most Haitians, yesterday (February 14, 2016) I was watching the ceremony of investiture of Jocelerme Privert as the Provisional President of Haiti. Like many I suppose, I was very surprised to see some of the hard core oppositions present at the ceremony such as Maryse Narcissi and Mildred Aristide.

Some people said that it was nothing because all the dignitaries were there including all the ministers.

Arnel Belizaire wants to take over the National Palace with 120 soldiers

In the past some people would try to take Haiti National Palace while it was occupied. As a result, this often resulted in bloody Coup D'etat, leaving many people dead.
