The appointments Tuesday, of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Haiti (FAD'H) https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-23809-haiti-flash-appointments-of-the-staff-of-fad-h.html by President Moïse : of Brigade General Sadrac Saintil : Chief of General Staff ; Colonel Jonas Jean : Inspector General ; Colonel Jean-Robert Gabriel : Assistant Chief of Staff G1/G3 ; Colonel Derby Guerrier : Assistant Chief of Staff G2/G4 ; Colonel Joseph Jacques Thomas : Secretary of the General Staff and Colonel Fontane Beaubien : Member of the Staff of the Commander-in-Chief have already provoked several critical reactions.

On the day after these appointments, the former FAD'H officer (1986-1994) Mario Andrésol former Director General (2005-2012) of the National Police of Haiti (PNH) https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-19568-haiti-security-mario-andresol-receives-the-international-leadership-award.html reacted by publishing on his twitter account "Haiti Staff of the army or the art of deliberately agree to be the stuffing turkeys. No lesson, it seems, was learned from the debacle of 1995. Even corporatism, same conservatism with the same plumb. The signs of re-dismantling are already there."

he Executive is accused of having appointed in this staff only former senior officers of the time of Raoul Cédras. For many observers, these soldiers never publicly distinguished themselves from the excesses of the army during the bloody period of the coup, nor under the Duvalier regime...

Moreover, the very advanced age of this General Staff, the youngest being 66 years old, are far from reassuring observers about this modern army, which has been promised many times.

For his part, Senator Youri Latortue, former officer of the FAd'H denounced Tuesday in a statement the announcement made by the Minister of Defense of the decision of the Head of State to appoint 6 former officers of the former Armed Forces Haiti to complete the High Staff criticizing "If we want to remobilize the army, we must do it properly."
