Prime Minister Garry Conille has embarked on a journey to the United States alongside key ministers, leaving behind a capital city now under the watch of newly deployed Kenyan police officers. This move comes amidst ongoing efforts to combat armed gangs that have seized control of Port-au-Prince, backed by a United Nations-supported mission.
Prime Minister Conille’s departure from Port-au-Prince on Friday, accompanied by Foreign Minister Dominique Dupuy, Finance Minister Ketleen Florestal, and chief of staff Nesmy Manigat, marks a pivotal moment in Haiti’s diplomatic engagements. Acting Prime Minister Carlos Hercule will oversee affairs domestically during this delegation’s absence.
According to Conille’s office, the visit to Washington and New York is slated to include crucial discussions with officials from international financial institutions, underscoring Haiti’s efforts to bolster economic ties and seek support amidst internal security challenges. Additionally, the delegation will conduct inspections at Haiti’s embassy in Washington, reflecting a commitment to diplomatic oversight and engagement.
Meanwhile, the deployment of Kenyan police officers in Port-au-Prince signals a proactive international response to the escalating security crisis in Haiti’s capital. Tasked with confronting armed gangs that have destabilized the city, these officers represent a concerted effort under the auspices of a U.N.-backed initiative aimed at restoring order and safeguarding civilian safety.
The situation in Port-au-Prince remains fluid, with local authorities and international stakeholders closely monitoring developments. The presence of Prime Minister Conille and his ministerial team in the United States underscores Haiti’s resolve to address both security challenges and economic imperatives through international partnerships and engagements.
As Haiti navigates these critical junctures, the outcomes of Prime Minister Conille’s diplomatic mission and the efficacy of the Kenyan police deployment will likely shape the country’s path forward in its pursuit of stability and progress.
