 Message for the new leaders of Haiti: I think the first and most
 important thing we need to do is to disarm those chimeres or thugs. Go
 to the slums of cite soleil, cite caton, bel air, drouillard, wherever
 they are, seize their weapons. Don't store those weapons at any place,
 destroy them right away by setting them on fire, this way they wont be
 able to have their hands on them anymore to rob and murder the innocent
 people. Inspect those sacs of rice and beans and pickup trucks that are
 shipped to Haiti from United States for tap tap, because lots of those
 weapons have reached Haiti by concealing them through those merchandises.
 Educate them thugs, let them know that killing their fellow country men
 for a gourde will not take them anywhere. Teach them respect for their
 fellow countrymen. Encourage the multitude that came down from the
 mountains and clogged up Port-au-Prince unneccessarily to go back and
 start producing food again, reforest those mountains that looks like huge
 piles of dried concrete. Arrest and fine anyone caught throwing trash on
 the streets and off the bridges into the remaining rivers. And finally,
 as long as the name "Haiti" is still around it will always be associated
 or referred to as the "Poorest Country In the Western Hemisphere",
 Haitians will always feel like they are rejected or mistreated for being
 haitians. Some of them will always try to hide their identity. For those
 reasons, I think changing the name "Haiti" to something else like
 "Quisqueya" again would erase those bad memories that are stuck in the
 head of the entire world. The name "Port-au-Prince" can remain the same.

Thank you
