WHEN WILL THE STATE RESPOND?

Red card for the Directors General of the Haitian National Police. This institution, a link in the national security chain, one of the last bulwarks against insecurity, has lost control of 33 police infrastructures. A situation that perfectly illustrates the inability of the authorities concerned to face the current crisis.

Police stations destroyed, abandoned, handed over to gangs: this chart paints a grim picture of three Directors General during the same transitional period, all three embodying successive failures. This list is already too long. The silence is deafening.

And what about the current Director General? He, who previously held this position, was dismissed for lack of results. Back for almost a year now, he has “brilliantly” lost control of about ten infrastructures — a record of passivity that seems almost accepted, as his lack of reaction borders on indifference.

Given the scale of the disaster, three questions arise: Is this the result of a macabre plan? Is it the outcome of chronic incompetence on the part of these Directors General? Or is it a powerlessness in the face of armed gangs?
