Today, the political, economic, and security miasma left by the TPC further jeopardizes the very existence of the Republic.
Certain terrorist groups and certain leaders of the state-private establishment are becoming objective allies, profiting from permanent instability and enriching themselves through a criminal economy fueled by drugs, organ trafficking, human trafficking, smuggling, and the occult international financing of revisionist organizations and radical fundamentalists. In the current state of the situation bequeathed by the TPC, Haiti risks three major catastrophes:
- The takeover of power by armed gangs by proxy through the ballot box.
- The renewal of the TPC in power with official candidates at all levels: from local authorities to presidential elections.
- The placement of the country under International Protectorate due to a threat to regional security and the direct interests of Western neighbors.
- Organize a Political Conference with the organized Poles to replace the TPC.
- Negotiate with international partners the acceleration of the implementation of commitments made for the strengthening of national security forces and the deployment of the FRG.
- Develop a realistic transition roadmap to reach elections.
Given the urgency, I call on all Haitian actors to political pragmatism and to rise patriotically to the challenges of the hour.
