Tout changement à la tête du gouvernement à quelques jours de la fin du Conseil Présidentiel de Transition mettrait en péril la dynamique encourageante des forces de sécurité contre les gangs criminels.
Mr. Christofides reported that the first GSF contingents will arrive in April, and that the full deployment of the Force is projected for October. He also confirmed that mission funding has been approved for a one-year period.
The Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs hardened Washington's position in a post on Thursday, accusing politicians of conspiring with the gangs.
"It is the responsibility of corrupt Haitian politicians who use gangs and other armed groups to create chaos in the streets and then insist on a role in government to turn down the chaos they themselves have created," it said on X.
"The members of the TPC (Transitional Presidential Council) who have followed this path are not Haitian patriots. They are criminals like the gangs they conspire with."
« Le Canada est profondément préoccupé par les tentatives de plusieurs membres du CPT de remplacer le Premier ministre à seulement quelques jours de la fin de leur mandat. Cette action ne peut qu’affaiblir la stabilité et la sécurité du pays à un moment crucial de son histoire », peut-on lire dans la publication de l’ambassade du Canada sur X.
Haitians woke up Thursday under a cloud of uncertainty as the country’s fragile political transition descended into open confrontation, with the sides locked in a standoff and neither appearing willing to back down.
With just days remaining until its mandate ends, Haiti’s Transitional Presidential Council is seeking to remove Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé from office. Such a move would create a dangerous political vacuum—one the United States and other international partners are anxious to avoid—and could open the door to renewed instability at a moment Haiti’s security forces have begun to make measurable gains against armed gangs.
The Federal Aviation Administration has extended its ban on U.S. commercial flights to Haiti’s capital through Sept. 3 over a risk that criminal gangs could target aircraft.
The FAA halted all flights in November after a Spirit Airlines flight was shot at while landing at Port-au-Prince’s Toussaint Louverture International Airport. A flight attendant received minor injuries and other commercial planes on the ground were hit.
Les supporters de foot attendent avec impatience de pouvoir soutenir leur sélection nationale, à la Coupe du Monde 2026. Mais, concernant certains d’entre eux, Washington ne l’entend pas de cette oreille. Les Etats-Unis entendent filtrer drastiquement les ressortissants de certaines nationalités, dont quatre dont les équipes seront en compétition. Les Haïtiens, par exemple, sont interdits d’accès au territoire américain et ceux qui résident déjà sur place craignent les débordements de l’ICE.
Haitian Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé unveiled a major reshufflng of his cabinet on Tuesday, retaining just five ministers in a new government largely consisting of untested figures endorsed by political parties and groups that recently signed a sweeping national accord.
