2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Criminal gangs have sought to take complete control of the capital, Port-au-Prince, launching multiple attacks and killing civilians, including women and children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, the UN Security Council passed a resolution for a Kenya-led Multinational Security Support Mission to combat gang violence and restore stability in Haiti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barbados Prime Minister and CARICOM Chair, Mia Mottley, emphasized that the situation in Haiti remains a major concern for the regional bloc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is not going to be sufficient just to say that Haiti will have an election on November 15. It is not going to be enough to merely stabilize the security situation,\u201d Mottley said. She recalled that 30 years ago, when she first entered public life, her then-prime minister\u2019s first trip was to Haiti to address the country\u2019s ongoing crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Douglas, one of the region\u2019s longest-serving prime ministers, believes CARICOM can continue to play a role in ensuring that the elections, as promised, take place in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaiti deserves proper democratic representation of its people. To a large extent, the Caribbean Community was created and has been consolidated because of what took place in Haiti back in 1804 and 1807, when the first Black Republic was formed,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, he acknowledged that holding elections under the current security conditions will be challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Caribbean Community has been very supportive of all initiatives aimed at bringing stability and common sense to the Haitian situation. But efforts must be concerted, with the right players in place. We must appeal to the international community. Some African nations have already committed troops to ensure peace in Haiti. I am confident that stability will be achieved,\u201d Douglas added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/antigua-and-barbuda-cabinet-briefed-on-efforts-to-locate-missing-persons\/?swcfpc=1\">Antigua and Barbuda<\/a><\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/prime-minister-gaston-browne-to-participate-in-110th-eccb-monetary-council-meeting-in-st-kitts\/?swcfpc=1\">Prime Minister, Gaston Browne<\/a><\/strong>, expressed optimism that elections will proceed as planned in Haiti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI believe that having a stable government is a prerequisite for stabilizing Haiti. That would be a welcome development, and CARICOM will certainly provide all the support it can to help Haiti regain stability\u2014politically and otherwise\u2014as quickly as possible,\u201d Browne stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Montserrat Premier, Reuben Meade, however, cautioned that Haiti\u2019s challenges are deeply rooted and cannot be solved overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaiti is a big, big problem that has persisted for hundreds of years. We\u2019re not going to solve it overnight. No, this meeting alone cannot fix Haiti\u2019s problems,\u201d Meade said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven if they hold elections, what happens next? You have to get rid of the gangs. You have to revive the economy. You have to change the mindset within Haiti. And that\u2019s going to take a long time and a lot of money,\u201d he told CMC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/JWBUbh6zeYkKTzG4khGL3k\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/JWBUbh6zeYkKTzG4khGL3k\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/JWBUbh6zeYkKTzG4khGL3k\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/JWBUbh6zeYkKTzG4khGL3k\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/JWBUbh6zeYkKTzG4khGL3k\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/JWBUbh6zeYkKTzG4khGL3k\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/JWBUbh6zeYkKTzG4khGL3k\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/JWBUbh6zeYkKTzG4khGL3k\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-2204793088\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP Prime Minister Gaston Browne has called for immediate national elections in Haiti to establish a legitimate government, emphasizing the need for political stability.
