Haiti - Diplomacy : OAS honors the courage and perseverance of the Haitian people 12/01/2015 10:26:59 For his part, Assistant Secretary General Albert Ramdin, Chairman of the Group of Friends of Haiti, recalled that since 2010, 94% of the households displaced as a result of the earthquake have been relocated, and noted that "the removal of debris has given way to reconstruction, improvement of infrastructure, economic growth and the creation of jobs." "More children now attend school than before and health indicators are improving." Ambassador Ramdin insisted that "the hard work that has been done in recent years has produced concrete results, which should be celebrated, while at the same time we must not lose sight of all that remains to be done in unity." In his message to the people and government of Haiti, Secretary General Insulza said that "for the benefit of the population, it is imperative that all the actors of the Haitian nation unite in their efforts to make the agreements necessary to preserve the achievements that have been made and to ensure sustainable development in Haiti. This is all the more urgent as the deadline for resolving the political crisis afflicting the country´s democratic institutions approaches." The OAS applauds the intensive efforts from President Michel Martelly and the Parliament over the past weeks to agree on a way forward. José Miguel Insulza, urged all political actors to "work together to create the necessary conditions for the holding of free and transparent elections in 2015 that are essential to the preservation of the democratic gains that have been made and the political stability of the country," adding that "the best way to honor the thousands of victims of this catastrophe is to overcome the political and other forms of difficulties with courage and in unity, in order to continue without delay the work needed to allow Haiti and its people to reach their full potential."
