Eliana Thélémaque and Her Baby: A Tragic Reminder of Haiti’s Never-Ending Nightmare
Eliana Thélémaque, another soul swallowed by the merciless tide of violence that has overtaken Haiti. She was not a fighter, not a criminal, not a threat to anyone, just a mother trying to raise her child in a land where safety no longer exists. But in a country where innocence offers no protection, she paid the ultimate price. Her final moments were a nightmare beyond words, forced to witness the unthinkable as ruthless men tore her two-month-old baby from her arms and threw him into the flames. Left with nothing but agony, she was abandoned, discarded like her life meant nothing, left to fade away in a place where death comes easy and justice never comes at all.
In Kenscoff, the murderers of Viv Ansanm committed an act so vile that it defies all logic, all humanity. A helpless infant, an innocent soul, was tossed into flames while his mother, powerless, screamed in agony. This was not just murder, it was pure evil, the kind of horror that should shake an entire nation to its core. And yet, after the ashes settled, there was nothing. No arrests, no outrage from the so-called leaders, no justice, not even a hand extended to comfort a grieving mother. Just silence, indifference, and a country too broken to even mourn its dead.
Where are those who claim to fight for the people, the same ones who shout about corruption while lining their pockets with the blood of the innocent. They march through the streets pretending to be revolutionaries, but they are nothing more than parasites, feeding off the suffering of their own people. They hold an entire nation hostage, pretending to liberate when all they truly free is their own greed.
And the government, where are they in all of this. Too busy planning carnival, too focused on keeping the people entertained because they know the truth, as long as the masses are distracted, they can get away with anything. As long as there is music, as long as there is dancing, no one will ask why children are being slaughtered, why mothers are being left to die in the streets.
Even criminals used to have a code. Even the mafia, a network built on blood, once drew a line, women and children were off-limits, but when you are dealing with pure, unfiltered evil, there are no rules, no boundaries, no honor. These gangs answer to nothing, to no one, and they have turned Haiti into a lawless abyss where innocence is a death sentence.
Eliana lost more than her child that day, she lost the very essence of what it means to hope. In a country where death is as common as the sunrise, where violence is no longer news but routine, she became another statistic, another name whispered in grief before being drowned out by the next tragedy. She carried her sorrow through the streets, unnoticed, unseen, a mother without a child, a woman without a future, until the weight of it all crushed her. She was not just killed by the hands of the criminals who tore her world apart, she was killed by the indifference of a nation that has learned to live with horror, that has accepted suffering as normal, that has stopped fighting for its own survival.
Who killed her, the gang members who pulled the trigger, yes, but also the state that let it happen, the so-called leaders who do nothing while their people perish. A government that does not protect, does not punish, does not help, and does not deliver justice. A government that watches its citizens die and looks the other way.
But how much longer will we accept this, how many more names must be added to this list before action is taken, how many more innocent lives must be lost before the Haitian people rise up and say enough. To the police, where is your duty, your honor, your oath to serve and protect. To the politicians, where is your leadership, your responsibility to the people you swore to govern. To the international community, where is your intervention, your outrage, your commitment to defending human rights. To the people of Haiti, when will you say, no more.
Eliana is gone, her baby is gone, but their story remains. Their cries will not be ignored, their suffering will not be in vain. This is not just another tragedy to be forgotten, this is a call to action, a demand for justice, a plea for a nation to wake up and take back its soul. The real question is, will anyone have the courage to answer.
Footnote: The specific date of the tragic murder of Eliana Thélémaque’s baby is not explicitly mentioned in the available sources. However, reports indicate that Eliana passed away on February 14, 2025, approximately two weeks after the brutal killing of her infant. This suggests that the baby’s murder occurred around late January or early February 2025.
