After the earthquake, cholera outbreak, and hurricane, Haiti is suffering through another revolution, a presidential election mainly between two candidates.
The first candidate is Michael “Sweet Micky” Martelly who used to be a popular “bad boy” komba singer. He throws night parties or “presidential campaigns” to raise his popularity successfully.
Another candidate is Mirlande Manigat who had been the first lady in 1988. Her image is much more trustworthy and responsible than the one of Sweet Micky.
Seems pretty clear about who should become the president, right?
But apparently, Haitians are confused between these two: on one side, they want a fun and easy-going president to ease their grief momentarily while the other side desires justice and orders.
How did they end up in this mess?
In a psychological viewpoint, their sorrow and pain could have exceeded the measurable amount. The Haitians currently live in the absolute darkness where their undesirable and hopeless lives sob for emotional and financial rescue.
The words spilling from their desperate, disheveled government have also lost their depths, finding Manigat’s realistic promises unappealing and Sweet Micky’s provoking music as an alternative therapy to their crying souls.
As a response, the world is fortunately holding the hands of Haiti to help the country stand stable again.
Haitians should soon find their light to guide their country for the better.
But never a coup d’etat.
