The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has expressed serious concern over ongoing internal turmoil within Haiti’s executive leadership, warning that the situation is complicating an already fragile political transition at a critical moment for the country.
In a statement issued on January 27, CARICOM said instability and division at the highest levels of the Haitian state are undermining efforts to prioritise the well-being of the Haitian people, who continue to face widespread violence and deprivation.
CARICOM noted that the mandate of Haiti’s Transitional Presidential Council (TPC) is set to expire on February 7, 2026, in keeping with the founding decree of the council and the April 3, 2024 Political Accord.
The regional body said the current impasse within the council—following unsuccessful attempts by some members to remove the prime minister—has further complicated the governance transition process.
“This is unacceptable,” CARICOM said, urging Haitian stakeholders to set aside differences and reach consensus in the national interest. The CARICOM Eminent Persons Group, it added, remains available to assist in facilitating agreement among the various proposals currently under discussion.
CARICOM also warned that political fragmentation benefits criminal gangs and called for an end to divisions in order to restore stability, security and peace in Haiti. Such conditions, the organisation said, are necessary for elections to be held and for renewed focus on economic growth and sustainable development.
The statement concluded with a call for all Haitian stakeholders to act urgently, responsibly and patriotically, placing the future of the country and its people above all else.
