Peter Wickham warns Haiti crisis threatens regional stability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Political analyst Peter Wickham has joined calls for urgent action to resolve Haiti\u2019s deepening crisis, warning that the instability could have serious consequences for the wider Caribbean.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on state media just days after World Democracy Day on 15 September, Wickham said the region must adopt a comprehensive and united approach to Haiti\u2019s plight, echoing concerns recently raised by Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s Prime Minister Gaston Browne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Prime Minister is right,\u201d Wickham said. \u201cWhat\u2019s happening in Haiti can spread, and I think that the lawlessness, the belief that this is an alternative way and that this is a way to get things done, is something that can spread.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He noted Haiti\u2019s historic role as the first successful Caribbean revolution against slavery, arguing that its current turmoil could once again serve as an inspiration\u2014this time for lawlessness rather than liberation.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wickham also warned that a refugee crisis could become a pressing issue for neighbouring states.
\u201cA number of Haitians will be washing up on their shores,\u201d he said, citing Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s proximity. \u201cThe capacity to support the thousands of people that could potentially turn up around the region from Haiti is problematic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The comments follow another surge of violence in Haiti, where more than 40 people were killed last weekend in Labodrie, a small village between Arcahaie and Cabaret.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Local officials said armed groups linked to the \u201cViv Ansanm\u201d coalition opened fire indiscriminately, accusing residents of being police informants. At least 42 bodies, including children, were recovered, according to a provisional report. Witnesses said homes were set ablaze in retaliation for the death of gang leader Vladimyr Pierre, known as \u201cVlad,\u201d who was killed in clashes with police earlier this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United Nations Secretary General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres condemned the killings, offering condolences to the victims\u2019 families and urging Haitian authorities to pursue justice.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He appealed to member states to accelerate support for the Kenya-led Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS), stressing the need for resources, personnel, and funding to bolster Haiti\u2019s National Police in tackling gang violence in line with international human rights law.<\/p>
