Port-au-Prince, April 24, 2024 [AlterPresse] — Instead of the National Palace in Chanmmas, Port-au-Prince, for security reasons, it is preferred in Miso, where the prime minister’s office is located, the official installation ceremony of the members of the President’s Council for the transition will be held on Thursday, April 25, 2024. There should be foreign diplomats in the official installation ceremony of the new Haitian authorities.
It is because of the terror and violence of the gangs and the guns that the President’s Council for the transition decided to hold the official ceremony of the installation in the office of the prime minister, in Miso/Petyonvil. This space, called the reception villa, is where presidents used to receive diplomats and other foreign authorities in the past. Later, it became the central office of the Provisional Electoral Council in 1990. And it has been turned into the prime minister’s office in recent years.
Every day, since the beginning of March 2024, the national police and the Haitian government are facing the gunshots of gangs and guns, on March. This is why public and private offices, which are not too far from Chanmmas, cannot function at all, in the last few weeks.
On Tuesday afternoon, March 23, 2024, gunfire continued to erupt on Dëlma and the surrounding neighborhoods. People, who live on Dëlma, are still under tension with terror, gangs and guns are chasing in these neighborhoods.
There are no words to speak of the unprecedented acts of aggression by gangs with weapons against the faculties and higher schools of the State University of Haiti, such as the acts of depredations carried out on the night of Saturday, April 20, 2024, in the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of the State University of Haiti. The Association of Pharmacists in Haiti is outraged and speaks out against these criminal acts.
But on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, the national police returned to take control of the Omega police station and the Senchal police station in Kafou commune. The national policemen abandoned 2 police stations, after thugs with guns attacked 2 police stations, on Thursday, April 18, 2024. At that time, bandits with weapons killed at least 5 people, among them a national policeman, in Waney 93. Despite all the activities, such as schools, businesses and all other types of commerce, they have not resumed walking in the municipality of Kafou, according to the testimony that join AlterPresse and AlterRadio.
On Tuesday, April 22, 2024, bandits with guns killed and shot Ketel Maxime, who is the judge of the Pilat commune court, Northern department of Haiti. There is still no clear information on the circumstances of the murder of the former judge of Pilate’s court, Ketel Maxime.
US military, security and support personnel, who arrived on Tuesday, April 23, 2024 in a US military plane that landed at the international airport of Port-au-Prince, come to say that the US embassy in Haiti remains open. It is the ongoing mission to ensure the security of US embassies around the world. This is what the United States military said in a communique.
Security, straightening the back of the country at the level of the state institutions at the level of the economy, working on the record of justice and impunity, and organizing elections: these are among the major challenges that the new transition team will have to face. They will have to do this on the basis of competence, experience and transparency, to lead a public policy that can give good results. Women and men, who will take the political reins, must show that they have the courage to face the bandits who are going to leave Haiti today. The country needs a diamond team, which was not involved in anything else, standing up against corruption and impunity. The country of Haiti needs women and men leaders, who measure what they are doing, who will not use grand pomp, who will not use security sirens to attack the population. It is the recommendation of the organization We will not sleep on people, the president’s council for the transition will be selected as the prime minister and minister of the new transitional government.
There is great urgency to restore a state based on the law in the country of Haiti. It is necessary for the national police and the army of Haiti, recognized by the Constitution of the country, to find adequate pressure, which can encourage them to play their role properly. The national police will handle the security issue, while the Haitian army will ensure the protection of the national territory. Citizens want to regain their right to walk freely and conduct their activities without fear, everywhere. It is in this direction that all national and international actors should work. It is the position of the gathering of women and men called Collective December 4, 2013. The collective of December 4, 2013 said it took note of the political agreement that gave the President Council for the transition, even if it believed that it would have been better to choose a member of the court.
If the experience of the President’s Council for the transition bears fruit, it will be good for everyone. Even if we don’t have the same idea, it’s time for everyone to show tolerance towards others and work together, in everyone’s interest. Members of the President’s Council for the transition must lead the country back in respect of the law, so that the country of Haiti can regain the rights of adults. It is the consideration of Jean Clarens Renois, who is the coordinator of the Unir political party in an alliance that has delegates within the President’s Council for the transition.
