Haiti - News : Zapping... 09/11/2024 10:50:19
On Friday, a new very tense meeting was held between the Transitional Presidential Council and Prime Minister Garry Conille. No common ground was found. According to what is circulating, the Presidential Council has decided to dismiss the Prime Minister because of his refusal of a major reshuffle of his Government. He would be replaced by Didier Fils-Aimé according to rumors. A resolution was apparently adopted by 5 votes out of 7 to this effect and should be published soon in the Official Journal Le Moniteur. It seems that since taking over the Presidency pro tempore Leslie Voltaire (representing the Lavalas sector) has chosen the path of confrontation for the benefit of his clan rather than devoting himself to the population. This information must be taken with caution, and must remain conditional in the absence of official communication. 4,900 killed in 9 months According to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), between January and September of this year, nearly 4,900 people were killed in the country, victims of savage gang violence. Pockets of famine detected in Haiti On Friday, November 8, Stéphanie Tremblay, associate spokesperson for the Secretary-General, said at a press briefing,"“Food insecurity continues to increase. Half of the country, some 5.4 million people, are suffering from hunger and for the first time since 2022, we are seeing pockets of famine in some areas where displaced people live" See also : https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-43596-haiti-flash-first-pockets-of-famine-reported-in-haiti.html Pilate : The Hospital of Hope, threatened with closure The Hospital of Hope in Pilate (HEP), considered a symbol of hope and survival for the commune of Pilate (North department) is today in imminent danger of closure. According to the report of the Platform of Haitian Human Rights Organizations (POHDH) "the alarming deterioration in security has led the hospital management to reduce its services to a critical point, rendering this establishment, although vital for the commune, almost inoperative." Challenges and issues of port infrastructure in Haiti Leslie Voltaire, the pro tempore President of the Transitional Council, accompanied by Councilors Laurent St-Cyr and Frisnel Joseph, as well as members of the Government, including Ms. Ketleen Florestal, Minister of Finance, James Monazard, Minister of Commerce and Industry, the Director General of the National Port Authority (APN), Jocelin Villier, and the Secretary of the Interministerial Committee for Territorial Planning (CIAT) Christine Stéphenson, met with representatives of the Association of Ports of Haiti to discuss the challenges and issues related to port infrastructure in Haiti.
