Ranmase - Haiti Observer Blog

I was listening to the popular Radio show Ranmase on Saturday, September 26, 2015 and what I heard in the mouth of two so called professional politicians was unbelievable. At one point in a discussion between the tho guesses, Me Andre Michel and Rudy Heriveaux, all notions of decency were out of the window.

The "Haitian Joudalist" just heard something that is very upsetting. Even worst, it was revealed on May 18, the day we celebrate our flag, a symbol of unity and Black pride.
