Haiti has always offered a good reason for high-skilled Haitians to leave the country

It is funny, this morning I was researching the name of the father of Patrick Gaspard, a lawyer who left Haiti to offer his services to the Democratic Republic of Congo after their Independence and, coincidentally, on the same day journalist Josue Lexidor radio attacked the same issue.

Lexidor spoke about how many of our educated few who are leaving the country to offer skills and services that Haiti is already lackong elsewhere to other countries around the world.

Today the reason they are leaving is because of kidnappings.

Haiti, the terrible leaderships that we've had over the years, has always offered a good reason for high-skilled Haitians to leave the country.

Some time ago was dictatorship was the reason. Then it became poverty. Then it was the lack of opportunity that the country offers. Now it is pure criminality.

Mr. Lexidor complaining his radio program how a college professor was kidnapped on his way from teaching. He also talked about a student who left the university to go buy some food and he was kidnapped.

"What the hell are you going to find on the suitcase of a college professor about books?" The journalist said.

Professor Patrice Michel Derenoncourt was kidnapped at rue Cameau Port-au-Prince on his way home from teaching. The kidnappers demanded $900,000 US as ransom for his release.

Watch more Haiti videos on Fouye.

Patrice Michel Derenoncourt is always there for his students at the journalist said especially those who are preparing their memoirs. How can you kidnap someone like that, someone who's given what he has by educating the population.

If you can have someone like that can we really talked about a society?

Depi lontan, Haiti kite tout pòt li louvri pou li kite sèvo peyi a ale. Atoufè nan peyi a bayo degoutans.

Chak grenn moun Haiti finn forme, li oblije pati al itil yon lòt sosyete.

Lontan Saint Domingue sete plantasyon kann La France, jodi a Haiti se plantation sèvo lot peyi ki di yo se zanmi Haiti.
