If, until now, it was difficult to give figures on these expulsions of Haitian migrants, the Haitian National Migration Office issued some details on Thursday.

Some 1,364 migrants, including 404 children, were turned away between September 19 and 22 in Haiti, according to

Alter Presse,

which therefore uses the ONM figures.

In total, twelve flights landed in Haiti, including one in Cap-Haitien, which arrived this Wednesday with 83 people on board.

This Thursday, six other flights were expected. According to

The New York Times

, a total of nearly 2,000 migrants have been deported. The ONM also reports ill-treatment and deplores the lack of resources made available according to its coordinator. According to him, the migrants deported to Port-au-Prince would have denounced mistreatment by the American guards, in particular on board planes. According to some accounts, they were handcuffed, hands and feet, like criminals during their trip.

The ONM, which says it has strengthened its monitoring structure to be able to welcome these migrants, deplores not having received any aid from the Haitian state.

At present, it is the International Office for Migration, the IOM, which pays aid amounting to 10,000 gourdes per migrant, or just over 85 euros.

The ONM therefore calls on the public authorities to release funds and also to provide buses to transport these migrants who will be even more numerous to disembark in the days to come.

A very bad idea,

The reaction of the Haitian press after the resignation of Daniel Foote

By testifying so acutely in his letter of resignation, Daniel Foote has just written one of the most virulent pages in the counter-history of relations between Haiti and the United States of America,

" said

Le National

in his editorial of the day. “

A kick from Foote in the anthill to express what we all know: the foreigner insidiously imposes his four wills even in the results of the elections in Haiti.

For

Le Nouvelliste

, this resignation is a personal failure of Daniel Foote, and above all it “

underlines the failure of all American policies in Haiti for years

”. “

Since the 2010 earthquake, so as not to go back to the flood, the American choices for Haiti have been catastrophic. Haiti's choices for itself are no less

", estimates the daily, for whom"

the migrant crisis dates from 2010

". “

Hardworking ants, Haitians are more and more numerous in Latin America every year.

And the daily wonders: "

How the American strategists could not have guessed that the ants would one day come knocking on their doors stuck that they are between a native country where it is more and more difficult to return and countries host who are experiencing economic setbacks.

"For

Le Nouvelliste

, the consequences of such a strategy are obvious:" To

weaken and allow Haiti to perish is to attract its sons, gentlemen and ladies of America.
