The signatories of the December 21, 2022 political agreement are sounding a dramatic alarm. In a statement released yesterday, the \u201cDecember 21\u201d agreement described the transition led by the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT) as a \u201ctotal failure\u201d and depicted a catastrophic national situation.<\/p>\n
Despite the April 3, 2024 agreement aimed at a \u201cpeaceful and orderly transition,\u201d the multidimensional crisis has worsened. The agreement highlights staggering figures: gang violence, particularly from \u201cViv Ansanm,\u201d has caused the forced displacement of 1.3 million Haitians, a record according to the IOM.<\/p>\n
The economy is in \u201casphyxiation,\u201d with inflation at 26.8%, plummeting growth (-2.5%), and a collapse in private investment (-36.3%). The \u201cDecember 21\u201d agreement accuses the CPT, \u201cmore dysfunctional than ever,\u201d of prioritizing \u201coverblown personal ambitions\u201d over responsibility and national cohesion.<\/p>\n
It also criticizes the draft of the new constitution, deemed to stem from insufficiently inclusive consultations and likely to deepen social divides in a paralyzing climate of insecurity. Facing this \u201cshipwreck,\u201d the signatories, representing various factions, issue an urgent call for unity, patriotic courage, and concessions from all stakeholders.<\/p>\n
They demand an immediate resumption of discussions, under international mediation, to salvage the final stage of the transition and enable elections under acceptable security conditions, now impossible before February 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
