"Sunday, May 21, 2023, the Ministry of Communication learned with dismay of the death, at the Sacré-Coeur hospital in Milot, (North Dept.) of journalist Wilner Altidor, following a long illness courageously endured.

In this painful circumstance, the Ministry expresses its deep solidarity and shares the pain of the family, relatives and listeners of the deceased who, over the course of many years, held high the torch of broadcasting in the departments of North and North-East.

Deeply attached to his land and people, Wilner Altidor was also a poet and storyteller. He used his beautiful pen to describe the reality of his environment and the malaise of a whole youth in search of a better life.

The MCC salutes the memory of this authentic son of Haiti whose disappearance will undoubtedly leave a huge void within the corporation."
