Haiti's participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup provided the Haitian people with a rare moment of exhilaration. With the Grenadiers now eliminated, Haitians are returning to the realities of daily life, and the Fils-Aimé administration once again finds itself facing its responsibilities. Those responsibilities consist of creating security conditions sufficient to hold the next elections. Nearly six months after the installation of Prime Minister Didier Fils-Aimé's second cabinet, nothing indicates that the country is on that path.

It even appears that the government has settled into inertia and forgotten that it has a clear and specific mandate. Today, no one can say when the next elections will take place. The electoral calendar, like the budget for the electoral process, remains pending. As for restoring security, the list of unfulfilled promises continues to grow. From one acting Director General of the Haitian National Police (PNH) to the next, the country's security challenges remain unresolved.
