US hails progress on Haiti’s anti-gang force, but elections face steep hurdles
“There is no credible electoral registry, no functioning political party system and no real capacity to organise a vote that would be recognised as legitimate,” said Eduardo Gamarra, a professor at Florida International University. “A reliable voter roll is the foundation of any democratic process.”

If those who finance and arm these groups are never held accountable, it becomes very difficult to dismantle the system.”
