Security: Prime Minister Fils-Aimé Visits FAd'H Base in Clercine

Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé visited the Clercine military base this Friday, May 30, 2025. According to an official statement, this initiative aims to strengthen the capabilities of the Haitian Armed Forces (FAd'H) as part of a program to modernize and structure the military institution.

Welcomed by the training camp officials, the head of government praised the progress made in the professionalization of the FAd'H. He emphasized, still according to the statement, the importance of providing the country with a republican armed force, capable of supporting civil authorities and effectively responding to threats to national stability. 'Strengthening the capabilities of the Armed Forces means guaranteeing the nation a solid republican force, serving peace and sovereignty,' he affirmed.

As part of international military cooperation, 150 recruits selected from among the best will be sent to Mexico for specialized training. The statement also specifies that 250 new recruits will join the Clercine base, set up for this purpose, in the coming days.

This initiative, the statement continues, is part of a broader strategic vision of the government, which also includes preparations for the constitutional referendum and general elections in collaboration with the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP). The strengthening of the FAd'H and the return to constitutional order are, according to the Prime Minister, two inseparable undertakings for rebuilding the Haitian state.

By committing to these two fronts — security and democratic governance — the government, in its own words, reaffirms its desire to lay the foundations for a stable, sovereign, and hopeful future for the Haitian nation.
