Haiti - Elections : Michaëlle Jean calls for restraint and dialogue
Michaëlle Jean, the Secretary General of the Francophonie is following with great attention the evolution of the political situation in Haiti and particularly the ongoing electoral process.
"I call on all Haitian political actors to promote dialogue during this crucial phase of the electoral process. A solution must be found in the best interests of the Haitian people," declared Ms. Jean which expresses her concern at the acts of violence that marked the electoral process.
"I urge all actors involved in the electoral process to act responsibly and make every effort to meet the legitimate expectations of the Haitian people who aspire to peace, to the necessary stability, to the democracy and the Rule of Law. The future, the succession and development of the country depend of that."
