VIEW TODAY'S PAPER




Bélizaire affair


Both editions contain multiple articles on the Belizaire arrest. I would highlight that apparently, Martelly, having left the country during the crisis that ensued after the arrest, is now disavowing responsibility for it. Bélizaire has been released, the Minister of Justice's job threatened and deputies and senators are striking back with various investigations.


Blogger reactions are varied and appear in Friday's edition:

• Ilio Durandis, a Haitian Times contributor, is worried about implications for the rule of law. (CaribJournal) 
• Emann Joazil at Ekspoze asks Martelly to defuse the situation by admitting he was wrong. 
• Le Coin de Pierre, not a Martelly supporter during the presidential campaign, sides with Martelly nevertheless saying parliamentary immunity should not be used to protect criminals. 

Diaspora events in NY

• Nov. 12: Haiti Day at the New York Historical Society exhibit on the Haitian, French and American revolutions. (Exhibit is open Nov. 11 to Apr. 15, 2012.)
• Nov 18-20:  Haiti Cultural Exchange Film Fest. Fundraiser on opening night.
