A New Think Tank to Promote Peace and Solidarity Launched in Haiti

Dedicated to the launch of the «Groupe de réflexion et d’action» (Think Tank and Action Group), a mass was organized at Notre-Dame du Perpétuel Secours church in Delmas 75 on Tuesday, November 4, 2025. The objective is to promote a set of values such as peace, solidarity, etc.; to launch a space for the dissemination of new political thought and ideas in the country; and to encourage young people to get involved in public affairs, among other things.

It was also an opportunity for the GRA to express its solidarity with the many repatriated individuals, displaced persons, and victims of insecurity in general.

«We organized the mass with the sole objective of launching the group, whose main mission will be to promote values such as peace, solidarity, etc.», declared Professor Celyscar Elysée, one of the organizing members.

The organizers of this mass took the opportunity to draw the attention of national and international actors to the gravity of the Haitian crisis. «It is time to act differently in the face of the country's problems», stated Mr. Celyscar. The general coordinator of Chemin Délivrance invites all Haitian citizens living in Haiti and in the diaspora to get more involved in public and political affairs. «We must not hand over the country's leadership to just anyone», he insisted.

The leader of the Chimen Délivrans Ayiti political party reiterated his positions: a new political transition is needed, led by a judge from the Court of Cassation, to restore security in the country, and to create the minimum conditions before the organization of elections.

The leader of the Chimen Délivrans Ayiti political party, Professor Jean Elysée Céliscar, came to implore Our Lady of Perpetual Help in the face of the suffering of the Haitian people, but also to invoke all the saints against the members of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT), just seventy-five days before the end of their mandate, scheduled for next February 7.

According to him, «they don't even know how the city of Port-au-Prince was built, but under their governance, this beautiful city steeped in history has been reduced to ashes, because of their complicity with gang leaders to stay in power». That is why, he adds, he wishes that «the money they stole from the misery of the Haitian people will be of no use to them».

Furthermore, the political activist indicated that there will be no elections in the country under the aegis of the Transitional Presidential Council. Moreover, he recalls, even the president of the CEP, Jacques Desrosiers, acknowledges that it is mathematically impossible to organize the elections before February 7, 2026.

«We lost six hundred million gourdes in a constitutional reform process that was canceled by the same presidential advisors who had initiated it, despite denunciations from citizens who rejected this project from the outset», added the political scientist.
