iciHaiti - Politics : PM pays tribute to Dessalines
As part of the week of reflection on the 211th anniversary of the death of Emperor Jacques I, decreed by the Ministry of Culture on behalf of the Government https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-22368-haiti-history-the-government-declares-a-week-of-reflections-on-jean-jacques-dessalines.html , as a prelude to the commemoration of the 211st anniversary of his death on October 17, Prime Minister Jack Guy Lafontant paid a resounding tribute to the founding father of the Haitian nation. He encamped Dessalines as "a legend, a providential man, a rallying force of all the living forces of the country, a visionary hero, an inspirer, a builder of the union of blacks and mulattoes" which would lead to independence.

Prime Minister Lafontant has elevated Jean-Jacques Dessalines to the rank of major, "that of military strategist, engineer of the nation, creator of the flag, founder of the Public Administration, creator of the Haitian State [...] He is the incomparable hero, by his history, his vision, his inspiration as Founder. Dessalines is alive. He lives in each of us," said the Head of Government in his tribute.
