On Wednesday, October 24, 2024, in the premises of the Office of Citizen Protection, on the road to Bourdon, the 8th Wednesday outing of the Monferrier Dorval chair took place. As a reminder, the Wednesdays of the chair are one of the initiatives taken within the framework of the Monferrier Dorval chair of constitutional law, established on March 12 by the Council of the State University of Haïti (UEH). The rector, Mr. Fritz Deshommes, is the technical director. Professor Henri Marge Dorléans, former Minister of Justice, is the scientific director, and the dean of the Faculty of Law and Economics, Me Eugène Pierre Louis, holds the position of both technical and scientific vice-president. It should also be noted that the two main objectives of the chair are, on the one hand, to promote the memory of Professor Dorval, then President of the Bar Association, who was cowardly assassinated in front of his house, near that of the presidential couple at the time, on August 20, 2020. On the other hand, it is about promoting the work he had undertaken in the country, as a professor of constitutional law, around the need to make a constitutional change to facilitate effective governance and better institutional management of Haiti.
Le Makaya est bien plus qu’une simple fête ; il est un pilier spirituel du vaudou haïtien, une tradition vivante qui lie les croyances ancestrales aux rituels de purification, de guérison et de renouveau. Célébré principalement à la fin du mois de décembre, le Makaya tire ses racines de l’Afrique, en particulier des civilisations bantoues, et se déroule dans un contexte profondément spirituel où les liens avec les ancêtres et les forces naturelles sont essentiels. Le terme "Makaya", qui signifie "feuilles" en Kikongo, est intrinsèquement lié à la nature et aux plantes, éléments essentiels du vaudou. Ce lien direct avec la nature fait du Makaya un moment de purification, où les croyants se connectent à la terre et aux esprits par l’intermédiaire des végétaux. La tradition du Makaya vient des peuples Bantous, principalement du Congo, et de leurs pratiques spirituelles qui ont été transposées, adaptées et enrichies par la diaspora haïtienne pendant la période de l’esclavage. La période du Makaya commence le 21 décembre, lors du solstice d’hiver, une date symbolique marquant la victoire de la lumière sur les ténèbres, le commencement du renouveau solaire. Dans le vaudou, cette époque est perçue comme un moment d’introspection où la nuit la plus longue de l’année se transforme lentement en jour, apportant avec elle des forces purificatrices et régénératrices.
