Haïti : à la fin du mandat du Conseil présidentiel de transition, l’incertitude politique domine
Le mandat du Conseil présidentiel de transition (CPT) arrive à son terme ce samedi 7 février 2026, après 22 mois passés à gouverner un pays sans président, dans un climat d'extrême contestation et de montée des gangs. Sans élections organisées, mais avec une insécurité toujours plus grande, et plus de 10 000 personnes tuées dans le pays depuis le début de sa mission, le mandat du CPT est un échec. Ses derniers jours auront été particulièrement agités, entre tentative de renversement du Premier ministre et pressions américaines.
Haiti’s vicious circle: Funding is needed to end the violence. But the violence means the funding doesn’t come
Council of chaos...the council failed to deliver progress on any coherent policy across any area, most importantly security. From January to November 2025 alone, 8,100 people were killed in the country of 11 million, according to UN Secretary General António Guterres – a 20 per cent increase from 2024. Sexual violence has also spiked in recent years.
After years of despair, Haiti has a sliver of hope
The nine-member Presidential Transition Council that has officially been running Haiti over this period was supposed to steer the country to new elections to replace President Jovenel Moïse, who was assassinated in his bedroom in 2021. Instead, the council has bickered over which of them should take over. Some of its members have been accused of extorting bribes. Meanwhile thousands of Haitians have been killed as gangs kidnapped, raped and pillaged almost at will. More than 1.4m people have been displaced. Levels of hunger are about as high as those in civil-war-torn Sudan.
