On Friday, June 28, 2024, Luis Almagro, Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS) at the closing of the 54th regular session of the OAS General Assembly, asked the international community for greater commitment to Haiti, which is facing an unprecedented crisis marked by gang violence.
Almagro acknowledged that achieving the restoration of Peace in Haiti “will take time,” emphasizing, a work that begins with the arrival this week of the first contingent of 400 Kenyan soldiers from the Multinational Mission to Support the National Police of Haiti ( PNH) in its fight against armed gangs.
The Secretary-General believes that the international community underestimated the impact of the assassination in July 2021 of the President of Haiti, Jovenel Moïse https://www.haitilibre.com/article-34162-haiti-flash-le-president-jovenel-moise-assassine-par-des-mercenaires-officiel-mis-a-jour-7h00-+-video.html which saw the country subsequently collapse and armed gangs take control of part of the country.
Recalling “The violence in which Haiti is mired has been the subject of an in-depth debate within the OAS, which led to the approval of a resolution promoted by the United States.” https://www.haitilibre.com/article-42650-haiti-flash-l-oea-adopte-une-resolution-en-faveur-d-haiti-video.html
The document urges countries to provide more support to “enhance the capacity” of Haitian security forces and to provide “immediate” humanitarian assistance to promote the island’s socio-economic development and strengthen its stability.
