Fils-Aimé Marks Two Years at the Head of Haiti's Government
The prime minister passed the 24-month mark on November 11, now governing alone since the Transitional Presidential Council's departure.
Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé has passed the 24-month mark since taking the helm of Haiti's government, Le Nouvelliste reported, noting the anniversary came without fanfare. Fils-Aimé was designated on November 8, 2024, by members of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) and installed in his functions on November 11 of the same year. According to the outlet, the former Senate candidate for the Ouest department has been leading the country alone since the CPT's departure on February 7, 2026. The report also observed that November 11 marks two years since the closure of Toussaint Louverture International Airport. The milestone comes amid continuing instability. Le Nouvelliste cited figures from the UN Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH) recording 1,167 deaths and 459 injuries in the third quarter of 2026, and data from the CNSA indicating 5.94 million Haitians face food insecurity. Economist Kesner Pharel was also cited pointing to the limits of Haiti's national budget in meeting health needs. The article did not include a public statement from the prime minister marking the anniversary.
