Port-au-Prince, Saturday, June 28, 2025. Driven by the political platform Zanmi Pèp, several political parties and civil society organizations signed a new political agreement this Saturday, dubbed the 'Karibe Agreement'. This document aims to offer a peaceful, orderly, and inclusive resolution to the multifaceted crisis facing the country.
The result of several weeks of intensive consultations, the Karibe Agreement marks a firm desire to break with the current institutional order. The signatories — from various political tendencies and civil society organizations — denounce the current stalemate and unequivocally demand the immediate departure of the Transitional Presidential Council (CpT) and the government led by Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé.
According to the agreement's proponents, the transitional government has lost all popular and political legitimacy, due to its governance deemed opaque, centralizing, and ineffective in managing national emergencies. What we propose through the Karibe Agreement is a Haitian path towards stability, based on dialogue, respect for the people, and the rebuilding of institutions, declared Me Abel Loreston, one of the representatives of the Zanmi Pèp platform, during the signing ceremony.
The Karibe Agreement provides for the establishment of a new bicameral government, structured around a President and a Prime Minister designated by consensus following a participatory process. This configuration aims to restore balance within the executive, in a context marked by deep divisions.
Among the priorities set by the signatories are:
.the securing of national territory,
.the revitalization of electoral institutions,
.the fight against corruption, and the creation of conditions conducive to credible general elections. The initiative led by Zanmi Pèp and its partners constitutes a strong signal sent to the Haitian political class, as well as to the international community. It demonstrates a genuine desire to take control of the country's future through dialogue rooted in national realities. While the population continues to face insecurity, poverty, and institutional paralysis, the Karibe Agreement positions itself as a structuring political alternative, capable of paving the way for a new dynamic.
