The Zanmi Pèp political platform expresses its strongest indignation at the manifest inability of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) to meet the expectations of the Haitian people regarding security and electoral organization. Created under the April 3rd Agreement, this council had the mission to extricate the country from the current crisis. However, several months after its establishment, the situation is only worsening.
In the face of this failure, Zanmi Pèp categorically rejects all statements emanating from the CPT, which are merely empty promises with no real impact on the ground. The people continue to live in daily terror, armed gangs control several areas of the country, and no serious measures have been taken to curb this descent into hell.
The platform demands the immediate resignation of the CPT and Prime Minister Fils-Aimé, who has demonstrated his total incompetence as head of the High Council of the National Police (CSPN). Incapable of restoring security, he proves daily that he possesses neither the authority nor the political will to uphold the rule of law.
Recent statements by Fritz Alphonse Jean, an influential member of the CPT, claiming to know who distributed weapons in the country, are particularly shocking. For Zanmi Pèp, this is not the time to complain, but to act. If these individuals are identified, they must be arrested without delay. Any passivity or inertia in this context proves tacit complicity or notorious incompetence.
Finally, Zanmi Pèp firmly rejects the statement by Prime Minister Alix Fils-Aimé regarding the organization of elections within the 275 days remaining before February 7, 2026. Under current conditions, such an announcement is not only unrealistic but also constitutes an attempt at manipulation to retain power without any popular mandate.
The Zanmi Pèp political platform reaffirms its commitment alongside the Haitian people and calls for a general mobilization to force the resignation of the current transitional authorities and establish true governance capable of restoring order, justice, and democracy in the country.
