C'est une desolation et c'est la transcendence de son coté.

Il fait preuve de grandeur d'ame et de courage politique.

Pour moi, il est deja classé parmi les hommes d'Etat.

Mr Baker est trahi par l'ignorance et la méchanceté des hommes haitien qui ne visent pas le changement et l'alternance democratique.

De plus, le parti Respè n'a pas bien joué le jeu de la politique de Parti.

Monsieur Backer, tu n'es pas le seul à vivre cette triste
