As the new year approaches, President Jovenel Moïse and his wife Martine Moïse, First Lady of the Republic, have delivered a message to the population that we invite you to read.

"My Haitian brothers,

A year that ends and another that begins must be a moment of hope for things to improve. Yes, they must improve, because we will continue to fight without giving up.

We will fight for what is due to you will reach you. Every day we work hard in the midst of all difficulties, to unite for and put an end to the ying yang that divides us.

We need good unity, unity between rich and poor.

Unity between those from below and from above.

Unity between black and fair skinned people.

Unity between people from the outside and those from the city.

Unity between the diaspora and the people living in Haiti.

Let us stand shoulder to shoulder, to refuse the abuses and violence that are done to our brothers and sisters.

Let’s learn to hug the other to take the road of progress and true development.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2020."
