A significant step forward for Haïti in terms of reparations and restitution

At the 47th Ordinary Meeting of the CARICOM Conference of Heads of State and Government, Haïti took an important step by joining the CARICOM Reparations Commission. Dominique Dupuy, Haiti’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, announced this development following her meeting with Rector Fritz Deshommes. On the international stage, Ms. Dupuy stated: “Following my meeting with Rector Fritz Deshommes, regarding the creation of a Working Group at the UEH on Reparations and Restitutions Related to Slavery and Haitian Independence, we have brought the matter to the 47th Ordinary Meeting of the CARICOM Conference of Heads of State and Government, in which I am taking part alongside President Edgard Leblanc Fils.” This Working Group will sit as the Haitian National Committee within the CARICOM Reparations Commission. “Haïti now joins the CARICOM Reparations Commission where this Working Group will sit as the Haitian National Committee,” added Dominique Dupuy. This initiative represents a crucial step for Haiti, marking its active engagement in regional discussions on historical reparations and restitution.

Le Legim, quant à lui, est un ragoût végétarien épicé fait de chou, de carottes, et d’épinards, épaissi avec de la purée d’aubergine et enrichi d’épices. Ces plats, profondément ancrés dans la tradition, symbolisent la fusion unique des influences africaines, françaises et taïno qui caractérise la cuisine haïtienne.

Meet Edison Juste: An Outstanding Singer

Beyond the chaos, in the heart of the desolation, there are voices that resonate. They shatter the silence, depicting the macabre reality of everyday life in a thousand shards, thus defying evil to give meaning to life and make each day a place where hope flows like a stream of honey. Edison Juste’s voice is one of them: it sings of hope, of love, while praising God. It was in Carrefour, 27 years ago, that the young singer’s sun rose within a family of four children. Edison Juste is the youngest. Between the diplomat, the lawyer, and the entrepreneur that he is, singing remains his greatest passion for this young married man. Like many Haitian singers, Edison Juste took his first steps at a very early age in a choir—Yahvé Shama—alongside children his own age. He would later become the lead singer. This was in 2010. Asked about his first real encounter with music, he replied: q~It was in 2013 that I really started singing. It was during a competition organized by Styl Doz at the Évangélique de la Grâce church,~q, says the active member of the group YES (Yon Enstriman Sen), who also expresses his gratitude to singer Joseph Rhousteau, who inspired and coached him for several years. Edison Juste stands out not only for his style, but also for his versatility. His ability to make the notes vibrate with a moving candor seems limitless. Yet, he has his preferences: q~There isn’t a single style that characterizes me. I see myself as a liquid: I take the shape of the container. Even if I remain haunted by Worship, Compass, and Jazz, he confides. Today, the Carrefour native boasts a rich and varied musical repertoire. From 2010 to 2025, he has grown both in maturity and in renown: five competition wins, his first song recorded in 2018, joining the band YES, his participation in the second album, Se pou m beni, a collaboration with Amos César in a musical, and his contribution to the album Anprent by maestro Berwin Sydney. For him, this journey is already a great source of inspiration. Edison Juste never does without the presence of God, whether in the creative process or during his stage performances: "What influences and motivates me the most is always the presence of Elohim, and the audience’s desire to savor and appreciate my work," he says.
