Le secrétaire d’État adjoint des États-Unis, Christopher Landau, reçu au Palais national

le secrétaire d’Etat américain a fait un compte rendu de sa visite en Haïti, en notant un changement notable de la situation sécuritaire. “Lorsque notre administration a pris ses fonctions il y a seize mois, Haïti était au bord du gouffre, menacée par de violents gangs criminels qui risquaient de prendre le contrôle du pays et de provoquer un effondrement social total ainsi qu'un nouvel afflux de migrants (qui s'ajouteraient à ceux que l'administration Biden avait activement encouragés à venir). La situation est aujourd'hui radicalement différente”, a-t-il fait remarquer.

Deputy U.S. Secretary of State Christopher Landau visited Port-au-Prince on Friday on a last-minute trip during which he observed a shooting exercise involving members of the newly created Gang Suppression Force, which has yet to be fully deployed, and met with Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé.

Pour cela, il faudra de la pédagogie, de la simplification et des institutions au-dessus de tout soupçon. Pas d'approximation, pas d'omission, pas d’arrière-pensée.
