Most recently María Isabel Salvador Special Representative of Secretary General and Head of Integrated Desktop of the United Nations in Haiti (BIRTH) as well as Eric Willam Stromayor Chargé d’Affaires of the United States in Haiti, as a response to the demonstrators who demanded the resignation of de facto Prime Minister Ariel Henry, had announced with incredible arrogance that the head of government will remain until that he organizes the elections since “ one transition should not replace another transition.”
Following the mobilizations of the population, particularly the disadvantaged masses, the interim Prime Minister since July 2021, was forced to resign from his post on Monday March 11, 2024.
Resignation demanded since armed groups prevented him from returning to the country just after his visit to Kenya on February 29 with the aim of reviving the commitment of this East African country to send a thousand police officers to lead the multinational security support mission (MSS) supported by the United States and the United Nations.
This, following an urgent meeting on the “multidimensional crisis in Haiti” which was initially convened by CARICOM (Caribbean Community). And the latter, in order not to put too much weight on her shoulder, passed the ball to the real boss, in this case the imperial triumvirate of the United States, Canada and France.
In this meeting took part, of course, the emissaries of Caricom with the participation of “international development partners” composed of representatives of Brazil, Canada, France and Mexico, the United Nations and the United States, represented by Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
At this meeting it was decided, undoubtedly on the dictates of the guardian powers, the creation of a Presidential Transitional Council and the possible appointment of an interim Prime Minister. This illustrates that it is in fact another transition which will replace Dr. Ariel Henry stuck abroad and who cannot set foot on Haitian territory for the moment.
Except his handful of supporters of the Popular Democratic Sector, the Fusion of Social Democrats and the Inité to name just those living off his subsidies who would undoubtedly like to see him return to the helm of business. However, the majority of the population has nothing to do with him. Since his resignation is a long-standing demand of the popular masses who wanted to get rid of him due to his irresponsibility and his incapacity.
In his resignation speech, he himself announced: “ […] The government that I lead cannot remain indifferent to this situation. There is no sacrifice too great for our country Haiti, the Government that I lead, after the Council of Ministers this evening agreed to set up a presidential transitional council, the members of this council will be chosen after an understanding between the different sectors of national life. »
On this account, these organizations and political parties including Collectif January 30, EDE, RED, LAVALAS, Montana, Pitit Desalin, Réveil National have agreed to set up a presidential college according to the wishes of the great powers and these protagonists have 24 hours to formally present the 7 members of the Presidential Council and a new Prime Minister of the Nation.
This new de facto or transitional power will delight the United States, because it will fully endorse the current foreign intervention project.
No one knows what will happen to Ariel Henry, who is currently under the control of the FBI. Who knows if the States will not take advantage of this situation to implicate him in the assassination of July 7, 2021, given that he communicated on several occasions at the time of the murder with one of the authentic accused of this crime, his friend Joseph Félix Badio.
