BiggerGuy Phillipe leads protests and threatens to overthrow Government in Haiti
Port-au-Prince.- Haiti is currently engulfed in a wave of protests, destruction, and threats led by former coup rebel leader, Guy Philippe. The country is on edge due to Philippe’s declarations of forcibly seizing power. Demonstrations, including barricades and tire fires, have erupted in the Northwest, North, and Northeast regions, with attacks on homes and forced closures of ministries.
Guy Philippe, deported from the US for drug trafficking, returned to Haiti on November 30, 2023, vowing to prevent any peaceful resolution at all costs. He laid out four options: coup d’état, coup de force, consensus, or negotiations and elections, prioritizing armed takeover.
Philippe recently called for civil disobedience, a move that stokes fears of armed conflict in a nation already struggling with violence and instability. He urged citizens to prepare for revolution, signaling a readiness to instigate hostilities across various departments.
Amidst this turmoil, armed gangs pose an additional threat. Philippe’s party, National Awakening for the Sovereignty of Haiti, hasn’t ruled out taking power by force. Philippe is mobilizing near the Dominican border, rallying support in Juana Méndez and other areas.
Over the weekend, Philippe’s supporters demanded Premier Ariel Henry’s resignation. They erected barricades, ignited tire fires, and attacked properties, including that of former senator Sorel Jacinthe. The demonstrations led to the closure of banks, schools, and public offices, paralyzing local businesses and transport.
Public institutions in a key avenue were shut down, including departments of Commerce, National Education, Economy and Finance, Social Affairs, Public Health, and Population. Philippe continues to advocate for an armed revolt to overthrow the government, demanding the resignation of authorities or facing expulsion through his “revolution.”
barbecue is president already …US sent you to finish the job …
Not true! US sent Ariel to support and provide arms to the gangs. Guy Phillipe is not a US puppet. Check your sources.
I’m the source …cnn is not the source , that’s what they want you to belive …
Lies. You are wrong! Guy Phillipe is not the problem. Ariel Henry is destroying the country with the help of funded gangs. The Haitian people in Haiti and in diaspora are choosing the movement to save Haiti. The corrupt government of Haiti has to go.
This is a propaganda from the Dominican Media and You know it is not true about what you were writing. Fake News, no realities
This piece of writing is evidently biased propaganda. Philippe is not promoting a coup or endorsing any form of violence. The article seems to be driven by a specific agenda, concealed with a considerable degree of malice and animosity towards the Haitian people.
This article further suggests that the DR is not interested in seeing a successful Haiti.
Stop the lies , we caught you in the lies. Maybe is not the first time . Please prove your sources . here’s the list of your lies. Defamation. Can you bring evidence of those lines. Most of the peace is lie.

Stop spreading lies about a person that trying to change the life of Haitians people. Guy Phillipe did not promote any violence.
This information you provide to describe the new situation in Haiti is fake and you are untruthful. Our country crossed a bad moment truly but, under your pen, we should understand how you are our great ennemy and you stand up like a portal to prevent everyone who wants to work for a change in our situation. You Lie about GUy Phillipe, God only know how long you lie about Haiti. We never forget all histories about President Jovenel Moise assasination’s, the River Massacre Canal and all the unhealthy products your country negociated to our fellow people, the contaminated bloods and tons of fire arms and bullets transferred to our country to encourage gang violence and our unstable situation. You never underlined all this like a huge problem to who subscribed to your page. You keep all this secrte. Now, we understand who against Haiti. Guy Phillipe was never related such declarations in his speech. You demonstrate that you don’t want to see our country grow up and, like many people said: ” Your country is a great source of destabilsation for Haiti”
Guy Philippe had been accused of “drug trafficking or money laundering” by the United States, but curiously even the Haitian government could not afford to ask the Americans to share “the evidence they have in their possession against a Haitian citizen and, what’s more, an elected senator from a supposedly independent country”, before admitting the notion of his guilt, or even seeking permission to try him here for his transgression, before even thinking of extraditing him to the United States.
The history of the world will always be that of the strongest or the one who will always have the ability to impose his laws on everyone, either by blackmail, intimidation or war
