Fils-Aimé Breaks Rare Silence on Security as Salvadoran Troops Arrive
Haitian PM addresses the security situation at a press briefing without taking questions, Le Nouvelliste reports.
Haitian Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, described by Le Nouvelliste as notably sparing with public remarks, spoke out on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, during a press briefing on the security situation convened by his office. According to the outlet, the prime minister made a statement but did not accept questions, and also posted a message on his official X account. Le Nouvelliste notes that Fils-Aimé's public declarations, press interventions and addresses to the nation have been exceptionally rare, framing his appearance as a departure from that pattern. The briefing coincides with reporting on the deployment of Salvadoran military personnel to Haiti. Related coverage cited by Haitian and international outlets indicates more than 2,000 Salvadoran soldiers have already arrived in Port-au-Prince, following a phone call between Fils-Aimé and El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele. Fr.africanews.com reported that the prime minister thanked El Salvador for its support. The UN has reportedly stated that the large majority of the Salvadoran troops do not fall under the Gang Suppression Force (FRG) framework, while the political party OPL welcomed the deployment. Full details of the prime minister's statement were not available in the source excerpts.
