The challenges facing Haiti have spiraled: gang violence, inflation, a cholera outbreak. Last week, the country's last remaining elected officials left office. 'It's a collapse,' one outgoing senator said.
— interventions by international organizations and governments. Haiti's national police regained control of the fuel terminal in November.Now, all eyes are on Henry, who recently agreed to hold elections this year with the aim of swearing in a new government in early 2024.that they must be done"without prejudice" and"in transparency."
But Henry has not said when such a vote would happen — instead, he has promised to reestablish a long-disbanded electoral council to plan and propose"a reasonable timetable" for elections.Henry's pledges have drawn wide skepticism. A similar commitment in 2021 failed to materialize. "It is highly unlikely that Henry can deliver on any of these new promises," said Fatton of the University of Virginia.
Given the country's terrible security situation and the lack of popular support for Henry's government, the idea of elections in the immediate future is"frankly preposterous," Fatton said."Having elections after six or seven months would recreate the current mess and the prevailing zero-sum-game politics."
The United Nations said last month it would appeal for $719 million for Haiti in 2023, about double the amount in 2022. Ulrika Richardson, the U.N. humanitarian coordinator in Haiti, said last month that efforts to combat the worsening crises would be ineffective unless the root causes of Haiti's problems are addressed.."We have corruption. We have impunity. We have governance. And all of that needs to really be at the center of our thinking as we go forward.
