Garry Conille, a medical doctor and former prime minister of Haiti, has returned to lead the country’s transitional government amidst a challenging situation plagued by gang violence. In an interview with AFP, Conille emphasized the need for transparency in addressing the issues facing Haiti, including the control of gangs, displacement of residents, and the lack of infrastructure and resources. Despite the difficulties, Conille sees hope in the formation of a transitional council and plans for upcoming elections.
Conille met with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to discuss the deployment of an international force to support Haitian police in their battle against armed gangs. He assured the Haitian people that the international force would not replace the police but would provide immediate support while efforts are made to strengthen the country’s own security forces.
The situation in Haiti is dire, with gangs controlling much of the capital and causing widespread violence and insecurity. Conille acknowledged the impatience of the Haitian people for progress but emphasized the need for time to establish necessary structures to move forward and regain control from the gangs.
Transparency, Conille believes, is crucial in rebuilding the trust of the Haitian people in their government. He expressed optimism for resolving the gang issues and organizing successful elections as part of a transition towards a more stable and secure future for Haiti.
