As Haiti crashes against an iceberg of violence—with nearly 7,000 deaths in one year, 1 million displaced, devastated communities, nearly 5 million starving, decimated businesses, and countless others forced into bankruptcy in an economy that has been in depression for six years, where tears, blood, sorrow, rage, despair, and uncertainty are the promises of tomorrow—the CPT calmly says, "let the ship sail," an expression that first appeared around 1450-1500 in La Farce de Maître Mimin.

Despite this disaster, recently amplified by the risk of "a complete paralysis of the petroleum sector" and the shutdown of the Péligre hydroelectric plant, not far from Mirebalais, a town in the Central Plateau controlled by armed gangs, the international architects of the CPT, entangled and deeply disappointed, remain trapped in soft criticism.
