The National Conference of Actors for New Governance (NCANG) in Haiti has written to the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretary General, Dr. Carla Barnett, seeking the intervention of the 15-member regional grouping in ‘the immediate creation of the mediation and transfer of power committee,’ amid efforts to remove Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aime within 30 days.
The NCANG in its January 23 letter to Barnett, a copy of which has been obtained by the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC), said that together with several Haitian civil society organizations, they wanted to alert CARICOM ‘of the gravity of the national crisis and the rapid deterioration of the political and social situation’ in the French-speaking member CARICOM state.
‘With the expiration of the mandate of the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT) approaching on February 7th, 2026, it has become imperative to establish a Mediation Committee. This committee must serve as an impartial and inclusive framework to initiate negotiations among Haiti’s various stakeholders, with the goal of reaching consensus on the new governmental structure that will replace the CPT,’ the letter noted.
