Following American officials, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has now urged the members of Haiti’s Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) and the Prime Minister to prioritize the public’s interests. In a statement released on Tuesday, October 29, CARICOM called the divisions between the CPT and the Prime Minister's office inconceivable and disturbing, warning that they endanger the transition process.

The members of the Transitional Presidential Council have held power for over six months, while Garry Conille’s government has been in office for four. Tasked with resolving Haiti’s severe multidimensional crisis, these leaders have instead created another crisis. In competing to control the transition, the CPT and the Prime Minister’s office have disrupted coordinated efforts to counter armed groups.
