Cassava, Widely Consumed in Haiti and the Caribbean, Recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO
The news of UNESCO’s inclusion of cassava in the register of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity was received with great joy in Haiti, amidst a backdrop of predominantly negative news about the country. In Haiti and among its diaspora, Haitians celebrated this decision by enjoying a piece of cassava with manba (peanut butter). This is the most popular way to consume cassava, a bread made from grated manioc from which the toxic juice has been removed.
Appeal from the CoEH to the European Union for Support in Upholding Human Rights in Haiti and Greater Attention to Vulnerable Groups
The Coordination Europe-Haiti (CoEH) raises alarm over the worsening security and humanitarian crisis in Haiti, where human rights are gravely endangered, particularly for women and children. The international security mission remains ineffective, while poverty and mass displacement continue to rise. The CoEH calls on the European Union to support a transition that breaks with old practices, strengthen Haitian institutions, and invest in sustainable solutions focused on the population and youth. It emphasizes the urgency of addressing humanitarian needs while adopting a holistic approach to break the cycle of violence and despair.
