Defèt frè Lambert yo nan eleksyon ki sot pase a an Ayiti te yon sipriz pou anpil moun.

Sepandan, sa ki te plis etone se te ak kalm relatif ak fasilite ke tou de, Joseph Lambert ak Wincesclass Lambert, te aksepte defèt yo. Rezon ki fè sa te pwobableman paske yo te gen kèk garanti ke tout bagay ta vire soti bon. Kounye a li evidan bagay yo byen pou yo tou de. Nou apran ke de mesye sa yo kounye a fè pati diplomasi ayisyen an. Dapre yon sous ou fè konfyans , Joseph Lambert jwenn nominasyon nan tèt Anbasad ayisyen nan Santo Domingo.

On Tuesday, July 21, 2015, Daniel Supplice, who was appointed as the Haitian ambassador to Santo Domingo by replacing Fritz Cineas in last February, has been removed "permanently" from his post by the Haitian government. As per Foreign Ministry information, Supplice was not defending his country appropriately amid the current immigration issues with the Dominican Republic. He recently had made a public statement to the daily 'Le Nouvelliste' blaming own government that they were responsible for the fact that due to lack of documentation, a good number of Haitians living illegally in the D.R could not register under the regularizing plan before the deadline of June 17th. In his remark, he had said that Haiti's Immigrant Documentation Program (PIDIH) to help Haitian compatriots in the Dominican Republic regularize their status, had failed miserably. The former Haiti General Consul Edwin Paraison, who has spoken personally with Supplice has tweeted that as per Supplice's statement he was primarily called for a consultation but it was a government's decision to recall him to Haiti. However, the former consul considers this as a routine change, to some extent, it is a diplomatic crisis between two neighboring states, but never means their diplomatic ties are broken. As per journalist Edit Febles report on Colorvision Channel 9, until some other arrangement is made, a commercial attaché will manage the Haiti embassy in Santo Domingo.

The Dominican Republic is now involved in an open conflict with Haiti. The government of the Dominican Republic has recalled its Ambassador to Haiti, Ruben Silie, for consultation.

This is the latest attack coming from our neighbor.

The government of the Dominican Republic revealed that it had recalled their Ambassador Ruben Silie due to recent action of Haitian authorities to violate a joint statement signed recently.

My suggestion is that we need to be ready to take anything they are willing to throw at us at this time while we are working toward a plan for our long term independence from the Dominican Republic.

Every century is graced by certain men who have helped to write the course of many countries, including their own. At the turn of the 20th Century, in 1904 to be exact, Haiti gave birth to just one of its contributions to that circle.

When Emile Saint-Lot first caught the fever to defend his country, he was all but a boy, witnessing first-hand the military invasion by the US, which occupied Haiti between 1915 and 1937. He would go on to study and practice journalism and to teach law, finally becoming a senator and civil court chief justice. His election as senator of the West on the 19th of June, 1946 came a year after his taking the role of Haiti's first United Nations Ambassador. He also served as a Security Council member, with the task of voting on whole nations' independence. He would cast this powerful vote for countries like Libya (about whose independence he presented an impassioned speech to the UN in 1957), Somalia and Israel.
