UNITED NATIONS, Mar 17, CMC -The United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Haiti, Carlos Ruiz Massieu, says Haiti remains mired in a multidimensional crisis marked by weak institutions, political uncertainty, widespread gang violence and overwhelming humanitarian needs.
However he says a recent new agreement by political groups offers “a moment of hope and progress for the Haitian people”.
Last month, Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé told the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) that law enforcement in the French-speaking Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has been making “some serious inroads” into the gang areas and he remained confident that elections will take place by yearend.
The last presidential election took pace in 2016 when Jovenel Moise was elected to office, but he was assassinated at his private residence overlooking the capital in July 2021.
Fils-Aimè said that the country is “moving forward” and that political parties, especially the major ones signed an accord for stability and “to ensure that we are all going into the elections together”.
