iciHaiti - Literature : Lyonel Trouillot elected President of the Caribbean Writers Association
The 5th Congress of Writers of the Caribbean concluded with the renewal of the members of the Bureau and of the Board of Directors of the Caribbean Writers Association (AEC). A first vote to elect the members of the board for two years, then a second vote to designate the members of the Bureau.

Trinidadian writer Earl Lovelace, the outgoing president, has proposed to succeed him Haitian writer Lyonel Trouillot, first vice president from 2015 to 2017, whose candidature was accepted unanimously.

Following his election, Lyonel Trouillot declared "We will continue to work together to make ourselves known in the Caribbean and so that our modest writings can contribute to the question of the future of the people of the Caribbean [...] To remind us all, writers, that we do not write in a vacuum but in a real world in which there is real suffering, and the way Earl Lovelace thinks of the Caribbean has given birth to the necessity to talk about it within our association. This is the line we must continue to follow."

Members of the Bureau 2017/2019 :
Lyonel Trouillot, President;
Earl Lovelace, 1st Vice-President;
Délia Blanco, 2nd Vice-President;
Laura Cassin-Carvigan, 3rd Vice-President;
