00:00We want to live in peace, we want water, we want hospitals, we want everything to work in our country.
00:18We are worried about our friends, we don't know what's going to happen.
00:20We want to live in peace, we want everything to work in our country.
00:30We want to live in peace, we want water, we want everything to work in our country.
00:39We want to live in peace, we want water, we want everything to work in our country.
00:52We are worried about our friends, we don't know what's going to happen.
00:56We want to live in peace, we want water, we want everything to work in our country.
01:09We are deeply concerned about the protracted crisis in Haiti and its impact on the ability of Haitians to access their basic rights to healthcare, food, education and other needs.
01:39We want to live in peace, we want water, we want everything to work in our country.
01:47We want to live in peace, we want water, we want everything to work in our country.
01:55We want to live in peace, we want water, we want everything to work in our country.
02:08We mobilized ourselves, we are here today to fight for our rights because we are suffering too much.
02:13Even if it's raining, if there's a gas leak, if we don't have food, if we don't have water,
02:18we are here today to fight for our rights.
02:26We are here today to fight for our rights.
02:47The justice system is not only weak, it's corrupted.
02:50The president said that himself.
02:52That he nominated 50 judges that were corrupted.
02:55So that's why we're asking you to leave, so that we can finally find a way to do the trial.
03:02Today, the population realizes that some extremely difficult situations they live in result from corruption and impunity.
03:10So today, the population also demands the security of their lives and their property.
03:15Food security, education, health, leisure, infrastructure in the country so that it can function, electricity,
03:24a minimum so that this population can live.
03:28There have always been protests in Haiti, but of this magnitude and not really before the Petro-Caibé Challenge.
03:35But today, people, as I said, are still quite mobilized and are still taking to the streets to demand their claims,
03:42to demand their speech and today to fight for what they believe the state owes them.
03:49And yes, there are deaths, there are injuries.
03:53There are particularly massacres that have been perpetrated here in Haiti since last year.
03:59There is a lot of police repression, a lot of abusive use of force by the police.
04:06And precisely, these are things that are denounced every day.
04:10Denounced because the life of others, the life of citizens is more important than anything else.
04:17Today, Haitians demand the minimum.
04:20They demand human dignity.
04:23They demand respect for their rights.
04:25And as long as precisely these people cannot satisfy the minimum of what they need,
04:31these uprisings can stop for a moment, but they will start again.
04:34Because it has been going on for more than a year and until today there is not yet a clear signal to say that we hear the population
04:41and that we will act precisely to respond to these claims.
