Open Letter

 

Mr. Prime Minister,

 

The Board of Directors of the Association for the Promotion of the Integral Health of the Family (APROSIFA) and the National Human Rights Defense Network (RNDDH) are honored to present our compliments; as well, take this opportunity to share with you our concerns regarding the deterioration of the security climate since the weekend of the 3 and 4 June 2006 in the areas of Carrefour-Feuilles, in particular Fort-Mercredi, Savane Pistache and Décayette where APROSIFA has intervened for the last 13 years.  Furthermore, our concern extends to the violent activities that have resurfaced in Gran Ravin since the night of Friday, 16 June 2006.  

 

            The humanitarian institution for health, APROSIFA, daily provides for the basic needs to more than 200 people lacking provisions and awareness in the area of maternal-infant care, and prevention and responsibility related to STD's and HIV/AIDS[1].

 

            APROSIFA and RNDDH anticipated the return of a period of calm after the completion of the February and April 2006 elections.  However, far from attaining this climate of security which is so badly needed to accompany the already economically vulnerable population, the APROSIFA health team was astounded to notice leaders of armed groups secretly recommencing their operations since the weekend of the 3 and 4 June 2006....
