Restarts dialogue between the Government and the opposition in Haiti

This meeting is the second to take place this year after the one held in May between the Executive and the opponents.

Delegations from the Haitian government and opposition will hold a meeting this Thursday to address the political crisis affecting the country in the midst of a worsening climate of insecurity.

Although the points that will be specifically discussed at the meeting have not been detailed, the signatories of the September 11 agreement will meet at a hotel in Port-au-Prince.

This meeting is the second to take place this year, after the delegation led by the Prime Minister, Ariel Henry, and the so-called Montana team held talks last May, when the negotiations were interrupted.

The meeting takes place a week after the anniversary of the Haitian premier taking office. Local media point out that Henry has not been able to improve the violent situation in the country or carry out the constitutional and political reforms that he promised.

The opposition has failed to reach a consensus to establish a transitional government. In turn, the Montana team, like its counterpart, has not given in its positions, which has hindered the dialogue.

Meanwhile, according to the National Network in Defense of Human Rights, the armed criminal gangs control around 60 percent of the territory and the clashes between them since last week have already left a balance of 89 dead, 16 missing and 74 missing. wounded.

Nearly one million Haitians suffer from food insecurity. The envoy of the World Food Program, Jean-Martin Bauer, recently noted that "we are seeing a significant increase in hunger in the capital and the south."
