For the past four years, since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in July 2021, Haiti has been slipping ever deeper into chaos and anarchy. In January 2023, the terms of the country’s last ten sitting senators expired, leaving it with no nationally elected officials.

The presented article analyzes the evolution of Haiti’s criminal governance and outlines three forecast scenarios for the period 2025-2030: stabilization, stagnation, and further state collapse. The final reflection underlines the geopolitical implications for the Caribbean and the US, highlighting how Haiti’s future represents a crucial challenge for regional security and for the international community’s ability to address criminal governance phenomenon in contexts of state fragility.

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.
