Description
Summary:On 11 March, representatives of selected Haitian groups and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), the UN, and the U.S., among others, agreed to a rescue plan for Haiti in response to the abrupt erosion of public order in that country caused by attacks by armed groups. The top priority is stabilising the political situation by setting up an interim presidential council to replace the government of Prime Minister Ariel Henry. The council’s tasks are to introduce the UN-authorised multinational mission assisting the Haitian police in restoring order and to prepare the first elections since 2016. Strong political differences in Haiti and financial obstacles may stand in the way of these efforts.
