Diznèf mwa aprè asasina Jean Dominique ak Jean Claude Louissaint, Michèle Montas ekri editoryal sa a, kote lap eksplike ki jan, an Ayiti, mouvman Lavalas ak pati opozisyon yo kontinye ap fè plizyè moso, pandan dirijan politik yo kontinye pa enterese nan sa mas pèp ayisyen an anvi osinon bezwen. Michèle deklare “On l’avait appelé Cassandre,”, yon pawol an franse ki vle di, tankou divinò mitoloji grèk la epi tankou Antwan nan Gomye an Ayiti, Dominique te prevwa boulvèsman politik sa a epi li denonse l; se te pou sa yo touye l pou l pa pale ankò, lè yo wè li tap pale laverite.
Nineteen months after the assassination of Jean Dominique and Jean Claude Louissaint, Michèle Montas penned this editorial about the increasing fragmentation of both the Lavalas movement and political opposition in Haiti, and political leaders’ growing alienation from the needs and desires of the Haitian masses. “They called him Cassandra,” she says of Jean Dominique, because like the prophet of Greek mythology and like the Haitian Antoine nan Gomye, he foresaw these political shifts and spoke out against them, only to be silenced when his words proved true.
Dix-neuf mois après l’assassinat de Jean Dominique et de Jean Claude Louissaint, Michèle Montas écrit cet éditorial dans lequel elle explique comment, en Haïti, le mouvement Lavalas et les partis de l’opposition continuent à se diviser, pendant que les dirigeants politiques continuent à ignorer les désirs et les besoins de la population haïtienne. Parlant de Jean Dominique, Michèle déclare qu’« on l’avait appelé Cassandre », signifiant par là que, tout comme Cassandre, prophète dans la mythologie grecque, il avait prédit ces changements politiques et les avait dénoncés avant d’être assassiné pour le réduire au silence et l’empêcher de dire la vérité.
