Karibe Accord Calls for Mobilization and Demands a “Tabula Rasa” of the Political System

The Karibe Accord accuses the CPT and Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé of being responsible for the violence and insecurity in Haiti. The movement denounces the use of armed gangs to maintain power. It rejects any election in this context and demands a complete overhaul of the political system. The Accord calls on the population to mobilize to demand the departure of this governmental structure.

During a press conference held this Thursday, October 23, 2025, in Delmas, members of the Karibe Accord denounced the governance of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) and Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, whom they accuse of being behind the rise in violence and insecurity in the country. The political group calls for national mobilization to overthrow what it describes as an “illegitimate power” and advocates for a complete overhaul of the Haitian political system.

According to Accord officials, the current government has “deliberately chosen to rely on armed gangs to maintain its political control.” They assert that acts of kidnapping, looting, murder, and destruction have multiplied under this governance, particularly affecting the departments of Ouest, Artibonite, and Nord.

The Karibe Accord rejects any idea of elections in the current climate, deeming it impossible to hold a free and credible ballot “as long as corruption, violence, and impunity reign at the top of the state.” The movement demands a Tabula Rasa, meaning a complete overhaul of Haitian institutions and the political system, and proposes the installation, starting February 7, 2026, of a new bicameral government based on popular legitimacy and social justice.

In anticipation of a potential post-February 7 government, the Karibe Accord declares itself fiercely opposed to the participation of any political group that, in its view, contributed to the establishment of the current transitional government. Specifically mentioned are Fanmi Lavalas, the Montana Accord, Pitit Desalin, as well as other structures deemed complicit in “the failure of the transition.”

Furthermore, the Karibe Accord calls on all groups and movements opposed to the current government to join the street mobilization to demand the departure of this governmental structure “which, until now, has failed in its primary mission: to restore security and organize credible elections.”

“The Haitian people have nothing left to expect from those who betray them. The time has come to take our destiny back into our own hands,” concludes the statement read to the press.

While the Government is heading towards elections, many believe it is impossible to hold a vote in the four months remaining before February 7, as insecurity continues to plague the country.
