Haitian Stakeholders Present Grievances to CARICOM Envoys in Port-au-Prince

Haitian political actors and civil society members have been meeting one after another with the CARICOM Group of Eminent Persons, presenting grievances, complaints and recommendations, according to Le Nouvelliste. The group of envoys has been in Haiti since Tuesday, September 2, and is continuing its tour across nearly all sectors this week. At the start of the visit last week, the emissaries met with members of the government and with members of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP), Le Nouvelliste reported. The visit follows CARICOM's recent statement welcoming the publication of an electoral calendar by the CEP. The report also noted related diplomatic activity, including a CARICOM delegation received by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEC) and the expected arrival in Port-au-Prince of Organization of American States Secretary General Albert Ramdin. Full details of the discussions were not disclosed in the available excerpt, which was partly restricted to registered readers. The consultations form part of ongoing regional efforts to support Haiti's political and electoral process. According to Le Nouvelliste, the sequence of meetings underscores CARICOM's continued engagement with a broad range of Haitian stakeholders as the country navigates its transition.
