The Dominican Republic's recent crackdown on Haitian immigrants has triggered a growing humanitarian crisis that demands immediate international attention.

The recent massacre in Pont-Sondé has left me heartbroken—not only because of its brutality but because it is our people committing these atrocities, not foreign invaders.

In September 2023, I wrote an article titled "Immigration: Striking a Balance Between Empathy and Pragmatism," where I expressed concern about the potential impact of immigration on the upcoming election cycle.

As Haiti struggles through its political transition, I am increasingly concerned about the country's trajectory. While my analysis and views may not align with the mainstream narrative, I feel compelled to express a painful truth: we are failing the legacy left by our forefathers.

Trump has built his political career on spreading hateful rhetoric. During his 2016 campaign, he infamously claimed, "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems... They're bringing drugs.

This past weekend, I had the honor of leading sessions for 100 young Haitians as part of the Haitian Center for Leadership's (CLE) Angaje program. This initiative empowers young Haitian social entrepreneurs who are dedicated to making a positive impact on their lives, communities, and country.

As I write this, I see my beloved Haiti still teetering on the edge of a precipice. Our people cry out for personal safety and food security, while our political elite dither and squabble over power and wealth. They are "fiddling while Haiti burns."
