Tiburon is a peninsula in Haiti.
Location in Haiti (in green)
Tiburon Peninsula is the south part of Haiti that looks like the bottom of a boot.
Tiburon Peninsula is home to the Grand'Anse, Nippes, Sud, and Sud-Est and part of the West department.
Haiti's southern coast harbors the largest concentration of bays and capes in the entire country. This area is famous for its pristine white sand beaches.
There are many towns along the south and west coasts of the Tiburon Peninsula, among the number being Port-Salut, a well-built town of about 18,000 inhabitants; Les Côteaux, with about 20,000; Chardonnieres, with nearly 25,000; Anglais, with about 30,000; the district of La Cahouane, which has about 3,000 people and is the center of a considerable coconut-growing district at the head of Anglais Bay; and Les Irois, with approximately 24,000 inhabitants. In fact, the whole coast line appears to be thickly populated. Many of the people gain most of their livelihood as fishermen. On the north coast of Tiburon also, there are numerous little towns and villages, such as Corail, Pestel, Les Basses, Trou-de-Nippes, Anse-à-Veau, Cayemites, Abricots, and others of less note.
Economy[]
The southern peninsula is the main granary of Haiti. It alone accounts for 85% of national maize production, 37% of national fruit production, 34% of the country's cattle, pigs and goats, and 30% of chickens, ducks, turkeys, chickens and guinea fowl. "Each year, the exports of the peninsula, just for the sector 'essential oils', represent at least 25 million US dollars. To put it another way, the city of Les Cayes is the world capital of vetiver. Despite a pronounced isolation, economic activities in the Southern Peninsula remain dominated by fishing, agriculture, and livestock.
Situation[]
In the beginning were Xaragua, Marien, Magua, Maguana and Higüey. Today ', it is still cities or towns like Leogane, Petit-Goave, Ghent-Goave, Miragoane, Tiburon, La Cahouane, Abakou, Abaka, Yakimo (Aquin), names that have partially preserved their Taino toponymy. The southern peninsula is also a unique cuisine based on coconut milk. They are the famous pisquettes, the oysters, the tom-tom with calalou (okra), the tablets of walnuts of Saint-Jean of the South, the sweet "makoss" of Petit-Goave, the pasta and jelly of guava as well as the shrimps of Cavaillon, the "komparet" of Jeremiah, the akasan and the foskao (chocolate drink) of the plain-of-the-bottom of Les Cayes, and especially the famous lambi "smoked" of the beach of Gelée where was born the famous ornithologist Jean-Jacques Audubon.
In these times of total confusion, it would be an ignominy not to go back to 1730 at the time of the first chestnut camps under the leadership of Plymouth, Jamaica as Boukman, hence the Plymouth chain that bears his name in the Massif of the Hood. We can not forget those who came back injured from the battle of Savannah: Benoit-Joseph-André Rigaud, Cayes, 26, Jean-Pierre Faubert, Les Cayes, 27, Laurent Férou, Coteaux, aged 14-year-old Guillaume Bleck, of Saint-Louis-du-Sud, aged 34, Gédéon Jourdan, of Petit-Trou de Nippes, aged 22, Louis-Jacques Beauvais, from Port-au-Prince, aged 23, Jean Piverger, Aquinas, 31, Pierre Cange, Grand-Goave, 31 years old. It would be an infamy to ignore the unique experience of the return to African governance of the Grand Doco kingdom. On the platonic summits, the rebellion of the "slaved" Africans of the plain-of-the-bottom of Les Cayes and Port-Salut, eight months before the ceremony of "bwa kama! (Wood-Cayman), enthroned a king. Blasphemous not to mention the name of the leader Barthélémy, representing the southern peninsula at this ceremony. What an infamy not to mention the name of General Dumas, born at Jeremiah, who connected the southern peninsula to the French Revolution. Heretic not to venerate the memory of Goman and Jean-Jacques Acaau, the two greatest leaders of the peasant protest for a new social contract. How not to mention the name of General Magloire Ambroise who welcomed Miranda to Jacmel or General Ignace D. Marion, who presented the bolivarism on the baptismal font in the city of Les Cayes, thus linking forever the southern peninsula to Latin America. Clearly, a tradition of mobilization and self-determination, proverbial hospitality and "xaraguéenne" identity giving it a peninsular "pluriverselle" singularity.
More than a recognition, this premonition must open an imprescriptible right in the future. But above all, this is the cry of beyond the grave, our abandoned heroes, without flowers or crowns, in the dungeons of chauvinism, regionalism and racism. So that no one will ignore it or pretend to ignore it, their lives would have been bad dreams if we had not given ourselves the mission to fulfill this duty of memory. Echoing the intuition that gave birth to the fruitful principle of self-determination of peoples, our vision of a prosperous and respected peninsula is firmly anchored in the trance of November 18, 1803, and in the depth of the legitimacy of the proclamation of the southern state of November 3, 1810. To debunk everything that condemns the southern peninsula to non-sustainable development. To the requirement of this recognition must be added hope. This is the origin and the foundation of all that must push us to the inevitable innovation to put an end to what hampers the emergence of the Xaragua peninsula by 2030.
