The City of Nissage Saget did not truly celebrate the 221st anniversary of the national flag. Despite the efforts of some schools and a few civic organizations, the bicolor day was largely met with indifference.

Renowned for its cultural demonstrations, always rich in decor, colors, parades, as well as musical performances, artistic productions, and creative imaginations, the commune of Saint-Marc, known as the capital of the lower Artibonite, was unrecognizable on May 18 of this year. Various personalities from civil society and the political class are concerned about the situation.
