In a statement released on August 26, 2025, the Ouanaminthe National Congress for a New Haiti (CNO) spoke out against the worsening sociopolitical and security crisis in the country.
The organization demands justice for victims, rejects any attempt at an agreement deemed illegitimate, and calls for a transition led by a judge of the Court of Cassation. The Ouanaminthe National Congress for a New Haiti states that it observes with "bitterness" the collapse of the security situation since the assassination of Jovenel Moïse and under the governance of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT). In its public statement, the organization accuses current leaders of "behaving like vultures," profiting from the crisis, and calls on the international community to assume its responsibilities. The CNO demands security, justice, and respect for human rights for all Haitian people, especially internally displaced persons who are victims of violence. "Assassinations, rapes, arsons, thefts, massacres, and kidnappings must be redressed," the organization insists. It also announces the upcoming establishment of a law firm tasked with receiving victims' complaints free of charge. The organization "flatly rejects" any signing of contracts committing Haiti to third parties or foreign mercenaries, considering that the current authorities "have neither the capacity, legitimacy, nor legality to mortgage the country's future." In this regard, the CNO advocates for a crisis resolution based on a reference to the Court of Cassation. According to Amos André, president of the movement, only a regularly appointed judge can lead a credible transition, capable of restoring security and organizing democratic elections. « Long live Haiti! Long live the popular struggle! Long live democracy! » concludes the text, which aims to send a strong signal in the face of a situation deemed "untenable for ages." The editorial team
