Pierre Esperance Disagrees with CPT Resolution

Five presidential advisors adopted a resolution on the evening of Wednesday, January 21, 2026, to overthrow Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils Aimé. This decision has sparked numerous reactions from both national and international actors.

Indeed, during an intervention on Magic 9 this Thursday morning, Pierre Esperance, executive director of the national human rights defense network, called on the police and army to take control of the Villa D’accueil, remove security from the members of this institution, and also prevent their access to the building should they indeed pursue this path.

According to him, the CPT has neither the morality, integrity, legitimacy, nor support to overthrow the head of government fifteen days before the end of his term.

Such a decision would have serious consequences for the families of the members of this institution (wives and children), Esperance stated. This decision would also have grave consequences for the efforts deployed by law enforcement, who for several weeks have been tracking down bandits from the Viv Ansanm criminal coalition, he continued.

The United States of America also warned the CPT that: “Any decision to change the government will not be without consequence.”

Will the resolution be published in the official gazette Le Moniteur despite the USA's reaction? Only time will tell.
