Continued Talks at the Transitional Presidential Council, Elections Delayed, and Another Member Steps Down
The election to elect the president of the Transitional Presidential Council, which was scheduled for Monday evening, has been postponed. Council members will reconvene on Tuesday, March 26, to finalize the framework political agreement and the operating rules of the Council. Meanwhile, due to the inability to secure voting rights, René Jean-Jumeau, designated by the REN, announces his withdrawal from the Council. This is the second member to depart within 24 hours following Dominique Dupuy's replacement by Smith Augustin
While members of the Presidential Council were supposed to gather on Monday evening to elect their president, they had to postpone the election session to a later date.
In a correspondence from the Montana Agreement Monitoring Office (BSA) sent to the members of the Presidential Council, a copy of which was obtained by Le Nouvelliste, the BSA requested the postponement of the election.
*clown MFers, who would have you think that Henry was the main reason that public safety and conditions got worse. Yet with him gone, they have done nothing, and representatives hand selected by each of the factions have stepped down or been moved already.

Haitian leaders finalize political accord for proposed transition government
April 8, 2024
Haiti’s leaders have finalized a political agreement to serve as the framework of a 22-month transitional government that will be charged with returning order to the gang-plagued capital and pave the way toward elections for the swearing-in of a new president in two years — on Feb. 7, 2026.
A nine-member ruling council, made up of seven voting members and two non-voting observers, was named by a cross-section of political parties and civil society organizations whose leaders also signed the final document over the weekend along with the council members.
The accord ends nearly a month of negotiations to figure out a path for the selection of a new prime minister to replace outgoing leader Ariel Henry, name a head for the council and form a new government.
Members give themselves a considerable amount of power over the incoming government, including the authority to fire the next prime minister— usually the responsibility of an elected parliament — and to name people to a number of newly created agencies, including a national-security commission.
The accord, along with an ordinance outlining the proposed presidential council’s powers, priorities and functions, were sent to the Caribbean Community regional bloc known as CARICOM late Sunday. The agreement will be forwarded to Henry, who is being kept out of Haiti after he was prevented from returning to violence-plagued Port-au-Prince via the neighboring Dominican Republic.
Henry and his council of ministers will need to sign off on the deal in order to publish the ordinance establishing the transitional body in the country’s official gazette, Le Moniteur. Once published, the council will officially be established. The next step will be its swearing-in

There is always a Krik when it comes to politics
KRAK !
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — A transitional council tasked with choosing Haiti’s next prime minister and Cabinet was established Friday in a move supporters hope will help quell turmoil in the troubled Caribbean country where most of the capital remains under the grip of criminal gangs.
The formation of the council, announced in a decree published Friday in a Haitian government gazette, was expected to soon trigger the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry, but a new provision said he would step down when a new premier is chosen. Henry did not immediately comment
CARICOM Statement on the Establishment of the Haitian Presidential Council
April 12, 2024
(CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, Georgetown, Guyana) – The Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) welcome the news today of the publication of the decree establishing the Transitional Presidential Council in Haiti. The establishment of the nine-member broad-based, politically inclusive Council signals the possibility of a new beginning for Haiti.
CARICOM has supported Haiti, its sister nation, through the challenging process of arriving at a Haitian owned formula for governance that will take the troubled country through elections to the restoration of the lapsed state institutions and constitutional government. Following on from the agreements reached in Kingston, Jamaica, on 11 March, which brought together a diverse group of Haitian political, private sector, civil society and faith-based stakeholders, the Transitional Presidential Council has devised a framework setting out the creation, organization and functioning of the Council, and arrived at a Political Accord that articulates the way forward.
The CARICOM Heads of Government fully endorse the principles of the Political Accord, and in particular take note of Article 16 which states, “The mission of the Presidential Council is to put Haiti back on the road to dignity, democratic legitimacy, stability and sovereignty and to ensure the proper functioning of the State’s institutions”.
It is also clear that one of the first priorities of the newly installed Presidential Council will be to urgently address the security situation so that Haitians can go about their daily lives in a normal manner; safely access food, water and medical services; children can return to school; women can move around without fear of horrific abuses; and so that businesses can reopen.
There are still daunting challenges ahead. CARICOM stands ready to continue to support the Haitian people and their leaders as they determine their future in a sovereign manner through this transitional period on the path to stability, security and long-term sustainable development for Haiti.

I welcome the formal Proclamation by Decree establishing the Presidential Transition Council (PTC) of the Republic of Haiti. This decision is evident of the collective courage and singular sacrifice of the Haitian Council of Cabinet to forge a Haiti free of violence and to entrench a new democratic administration. We look forward to the PTC moving with speed to appoint the Prime Minister and Cabinet. I commend the leadership of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) for their steadfast stewardship of the intense consultations that led to the establishment of a Presidential Transitional Council that reflects the diverse sections of Haitian society. Kenya expresses confidence that the new political leadership will lay a strong foundation for resolution of the crisis in Haiti, restoration of security, afford the Haitian people a political transition and usher in sustainable peace and development. Kenya reiterates its strong solidarity with Haiti and stands ready to make its contribution within the framework elaborated in the UN Security Council Resolution 2699 of 2023.
