PM Fils-Aimé tours southern Haiti with focus on schools, health, environment and elections
From Aquin to Petit-Goâve, Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé held inaugurations and meetings during a three-day official visit, Le Nouvelliste reports.
Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé traveled across Haiti's greater South from August 13 to 15, 2026, on an official tour focused on education, health, the environment and preparations for upcoming general elections, according to Le Nouvelliste. The head of government moved from Aquin to Petit-Goâve, passing through Camp-Perrin and Les Cayes, holding a series of inaugurations and meetings with residents as well as local and religious authorities, the outlet reported. The tour began in Aquin, where the Prime Minister inaugurated the École Baptiste de Melinette, a school Le Nouvelliste said had been destroyed — the outlet's account is cut off before specifying the cause, though it references an earthquake. The trip comes as electoral preparation remains a central theme in national debate. In related coverage, Le Nouvelliste noted that the Organization of American States (OAS) has announced technical support for the electoral registry, alongside ongoing discussions about the conditions needed to hold credible elections. Further details on specific health and environmental initiatives announced during the visit were not available in the accessible portion of the report.
