If the Prime Minister is currently alone at the helm of the country, it is thanks to powerful actors within the international community—including the United States, Canada, and France—who had fiercely opposed attempts by a majority within the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) to remove him.

The head of government now has more power—and also more responsibilities, the diplomat emphasizes.

In an exclusive interview granted this week to Le Nouvelliste and Radio Magik9, André François Giroux spoke candidly, expressing Canada’s support for the Prime Minister, but also its expectations.
