iciHaiti - Gonâve : A wind of independence blows on the island
06/09/2019 08:19:50

Gonâviens grouped in the organization "La Gonâve en avant" believe that the Gonâve is abandoned by the central State for too long and that the authorities concerned have never really worked to its development, therefore they claim their independence.

Kelly Boucicaut, the coordinator of this independentist citizen movement, talks about the potential of the island and its natural resources that can enable its development, particularly in the tourism and fishing sector.

He affirms that steps have already begun both nationally and internationally, with a view to securing the island's independence and enabling the gonâviens to take control of their destiny in a legal and peaceful manner.

Recall that the island of Gonâve (689 Km2 area) is located in the bay of Port-au-Prince (West Dept.) and has a population of more than 100,000 inhabitants.
