After eight months in power, Haiti’s Transition Council has failed to improve the situation in the country. Gang violence, lack of control in the capital, and a state of emergency have left the country in turmoil.
The government, which took power in April, has been criticized for its inaction and failure to address the needs of the Haitian people. The imposed transitional presidential council has not made any significant progress, leaving the population vulnerable to insecurity and violence.
Internal displacement, gang control of the capital, and routine violent incidents have plagued Haiti. The recent declaration of a state of emergency has been deemed insufficient by critics, including political analyst Jean Waltès Bien-Aimé.
In the midst of crisis, with little to no improvement in sight, Haiti continues to suffer from violence and instability. The need for a Haitian-led solution to address gang violence and terrorism is evident, along with support from the international community.
