STATEMENT BY THE CONFERENCE OF HEADS OF GOVERNMENT OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) ON THE END OF THE TRANSITIONAL PRESIDENTIAL COUNCIL IN HAITI

Date:

The CARICOM Heads of Government note that the Transitional Presidential Council of Haiti has stepped down at the end of its two-year tenure, and that Prime Minister Didier Fils Aimé and the Council of Ministers have assumed responsibility for the governance of Haiti. It is expected that this would be a short interim period focused on improving the security environment, intensifying preparations for the holding of national elections, and promoting social and economic recovery.

CARICOM recognises the urgent need for a stable political process but reiterates that a Haitian-led and Haitian-owned approach remains fundamental. This necessarily requires overcoming divisions and structured inclusion of the views and aspirations of all Haitian citizens through consultation and dialogue with their representatives and civil society.

CARICOM recognises that progress on improving the security environment is urgent, and calls on regional and international partners to alleviate the humanitarian hardships endured by millions of Haitians that need to be addressed with equal urgency. In this regard, CARICOM supports the priorities identified by Prime Minister Fils Aimé that affirm the need for security and dignity to progress together, and his proposed immediate plan for urgent provision of food, health care and shelter to the most vulnerable.

CARICOM will continue to support the people of Haiti, including through ongoing engagement with all stakeholders by the Eminent Persons Group, and to embrace Haiti as a member state of the Community.

The CARICOM Heads of Government look forward to early engagement with Prime Minister Fils Aimé during the 50th Regular Meeting of the Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community, 24-27 February in St Kitts and Nevis.

Haïti : l’OIF appelle à un consensus national en faveur de la stabilité et de la tenue d’élections

Malgré un regain de la dynamique de dialogue inter-haïtien ces dernières semaines, l’Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) constate avec préoccupation que la fragmentation et les divisions persistantes de la classe politique nationale n’ont pas permis, à ce stade, de faire émerger un consensus suffisamment large et inclusif. Un tel consensus demeure pourtant indispensable pour favoriser la stabilité institutionnelle du pays et améliorer les conditions de vie des populations, déjà gravement affectées par la violence des gangs.

‘We have full-scale urban warfare going on,’ U.S. envoy to Haiti tells Congress

“I think what’s important here for all of us is that Haitians are seen leading their security initiative,” he said. “If we are left here without a 35- to 50,000 man force in the country, I don’t believe there’s any hope of sustained security in Haiti. We have the last four years that point to that. And so what we’re proposing is a dual framework, in addition to the Gang Suppression Force, to augment train and to leave behind Haitian security forces that can sustain in a durable manner.”
