Face à la menace que représente l’ouragan Melissa, le gouvernement haïtien de facto a décrété le mercredi 29 octobre 2025 journée de chômage sur toute l’étendue du territoire national. Cette décision vise à protéger la population face aux risques majeurs liés à ce cyclone puissant, qui poursuit sa trajectoire vers l’île après avoir dévasté la Jamaïque.
Selon les dernières données publiées par le National Hurricane Center (NHC), l’ouragan Melissa, bien que rétrogradé en catégorie 4, demeure d’une intensité redoutable. Les vents soutenus atteignent jusqu’à 300 kilomètres à l’heure, accompagnés de fortes pluies et de houles violentes. Les autorités haïtiennes redoutent des inondations massives, notamment dans les plaines côtières, ainsi que des glissements de terrain dans les zones montagneuses.
La Direction générale de la protection civile (DGPC) a activé le plus haut niveau d’alerte et appelé la population à rester à domicile et à se tenir éloignée des zones à risque. Dans plusieurs départements, les écoles, les administrations publiques et une partie du secteur privé ont déjà suspendu leurs activités. Des abris provisoires ont été ouverts dans les principales villes, particulièrement dans l’Ouest, le Sud et l’Artibonite.
Les premières bandes extérieures du cyclone commencent déjà à affecter le sud du pays, avec des pluies soutenues et des vents violents signalés dans plusieurs communes. Les services météorologiques haïtiens anticipent que Melissa touchera directement Haïti dans la matinée du mercredi, avant de poursuivre sa route vers Cuba. Les autorités craignent également une montée subite des eaux dans les zones côtières exposées.
Le Premier ministre de facto, lors d’un message adressé à la nation, a appelé la population à la vigilance et à la solidarité. Il a exhorté les citoyens à suivre les consignes officielles, tout en précisant que les services de secours et la Police nationale d’Haïti sont mobilisés pour répondre aux urgences.
Alors qu’Haïti se prépare à affronter le passage du cyclone, les inquiétudes demeurent fortes dans un pays déjà fragilisé par des crises politiques, économiques et humanitaires. Les prochaines 48 heures seront décisives pour évaluer l’ampleur des dégâts que pourrait provoquer Melissa, un ouragan qui rappelle à quel point le territoire haïtien reste vulnérable face aux catastrophes naturelles.

Nan sitiyasyon ijans Hayti ye laa, nou pa gen tan pou distraksyon ankò.
RépondreSupprimerAnnou planifye yon gwo rasanbleman ant tout sitwayen ki renmen peyia, pou n'al dechouke e chase esklav kòwonpi yo ki nan Vila Akèy la avèk Primati a.
Nap fè sa lendi 17 novanm 2025 lan, poun ka fete liberasyon peyia 18 novanm si Bondje vle, san prezans esklav yo nan tèt peyia. Operasyon saa ap pèmèt nou kraze prizon syèl ouvè kote mechan yo fèmen nou pou fè gang yo masakre nou an.
Map pwofite envite tout medya tradisyonèl ak anliy; tout jounalis, tout sitwayen enfliyan sou rezo sosyal yo; tout dirijan ak lidè nan tout kouch sosyete a ki renmen Hayti, annou pote kole poun sove peyia.
Annou pataje mesaj la, videyo a sou tout rezo yo, sou radyo yo ak tout lòt kanal kominikasyon ke nou genyen pou tout pèp Haytien an ka jwenn li, pou yo ka prepare pou gwo evenman saa.
Si nou pataje mesaj la rapid nan tout peyia, pou tout moun nan tout katye ap pale de sa, esklav yo ki nan tèt peyia pap menm tann dat 17 novanm nan rive pou n'al dechouke yo. Yap gen tan chape poul yo an kachèt yo kite peyia.
Avètisman pou Chèf Lame a avèk Chèf Polis la: Depi yon sitwayen viktim akoz yo menm pandan operasyon saa, karyè ak avni yo ap tou fini.
Siw dakò patisipe nan sove peyia al pran videyo a sou jounal facebook mwen pou edem patajel, paske lè a rive pou Hayti libere. Mèsi e felisitasyon!

Climate Change and the Disappearance of Islands: A Looming Tragedy.
RépondreSupprimerBy Carlz E. Francois, MSW.
Introduction
For decades, climate change has stood at the forefront of global environmental concern. Once seen as a distant threat, its effects have become increasingly visible and devastating. Among the most alarming consequences is the rising sea level, which now threatens the very existence of many islands across the world. Entire nations may vanish beneath the waves, taking with them unique cultures, histories, and identities. This phenomenon is not only an environmental issue, but also a profound human, economic, and political crisis. The question therefore arises: how does climate change endanger islands worldwide, and what can humanity do to prevent their disappearance?
The Causes of the Phenomenon: A Global Climate Drift
Climate change results from the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, largely caused by human activity—burning fossil fuels, deforestation, industrialization, and intensive agriculture. These gases trap heat from the sun, gradually raising the Earth’s average temperature.
This temperature increase triggers two key processes that raise sea levels:
Melting of polar ice caps and glaciers: Antarctica and Greenland lose billions of tons of ice each year. According to the IPCC (2023), melting ice now accounts for nearly 40% of sea-level rise.
Thermal expansion of seawater: As oceans warm, the water expands in volume—a slower but equally powerful process that contributes to about one-third of sea-level rise.
As a result, the global sea level has already risen by about 20 centimeters (8 inches) since the start of the 20th century and could climb by 60 centimeters to over a meter by 2100 if emissions continue unabated.
Islands on the Front Line
Islands—particularly Small Island Developing States (SIDS)—are among the most vulnerable regions on Earth. Many lie only a few meters above sea level. Nations such as the Maldives, Tuvalu, Kiribati, and the Marshall Islands face the terrifying prospect of complete submersion within this century.
Environmental and ecological consequences
Coastal erosion devours beaches and farmland. Saltwater intrusion contaminates freshwater supplies and makes agriculture impossible. Coral reefs—natural barriers that protect coastlines—are dying from ocean warming and acidification. As these ecosystems collapse, island communities lose both their natural defense systems and key sources of food and income.
Human and cultural consequences
Behind these environmental shifts are human tragedies. In the Pacific, entire villages have already been relocated due to flooding. The people of Kiribati have even purchased land in Fiji to prepare for the relocation of their population. Such events raise unprecedented questions: What is a nation without land? How can a culture survive when its homeland is gone?
These islanders are among the least responsible for global warming, yet they suffer its most severe consequences. The United Nations estimates that small island states produce barely 1% of global CO₂ emissions, highlighting a painful imbalance between responsibility and suffering.
Recognizing climate refugees.
Legally, the world must address the status of climate refugees. Currently, there is no international protection for people forced to leave their homes due to rising seas. Recognizing this status would be a major step toward global climate justice and human rights protection.
Conclusion
Climate change exposes the deep inequalities of our world. While industrialized nations continue to emit vast amounts of carbon, small island countries face extinction. The disappearance of these lands would be not only a geographic loss, but also a moral and cultural wound for humanity.
Protecting these islands means protecting our shared memory, our ecosystems, and our collective future. Action can no longer wait. Every centimeter the ocean gains is a warning—a reminder that the clock is ticking, and the sea does not negotiate.
