Being Haitian today means participating in the solidarity among Haitians; it means taking part in a permanent resistance at the individual and organizational levels, and it especially means telling ourselves that we can do it, and if we say we can do it, that means we must try.
The Montana group tried to expand the consensus, and the first thing that happened was that we were able to meet with the allies of Ariel Henry who signed the September 11 agreement. It has to be said: the September 11 agreement is the allied agreement of Ariel Henry, who is with the PHTK.
Mr. Henry informed us at one point that he had neither the authority nor the authorization to negotiate. We think that's clear. If the prime minister, who is illegitimate but who made his September 11 alliance, said he had neither the authority nor the authorization to negotiate, it won't be possible to do so until he manages to find that authority and that authorization to negotiate.
However, I'm going to venture a little further.
Mr. Henry has been in power for nearly 15 months now. Contrary to what Mr. Jean said, I want to point out that Mr. Henry isn't the president of Haiti. He is its prime minister, even though he is illegitimate; I acknowledge that. However, he isn't the president of Haiti, as Mr. Jean said.
At any event, Mr. Henry's record is the worst of all records. The largest massacres in Haiti, which have occurred recently, were committed under his governance. We can see none of the things that he nevertheless should have done. He could have opened dialogues with the public, but he didn't. He could have established emergency areas, but he didn't. He did nothing.
In our view today, Mr. Henry is part of the past. We can negotiate his exit with him, but we can't sit down and negotiate an agreement for him. The task ahead is to determine how he will leave so that a transitional government can be established.
