Does Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, alone and all-powerful, want to succeed in his final transition? That is the whole question. Of course, the latter, whose government provided a robust financial contribution, a considerable contribution to enhance the national soccer team’s participation in the 2026 World Cup, has probably thought about the negative record of General-President Prosper Avril, former Prime Minister Ariel Henry and, certainly, the former “presidents” of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT), who pressured him from all sides. How could he deny it? How could one be mistaken about it! In short, this is his second chance! Nothing destined him for this “breakthrough,” much less for this second transition. An increasingly difficult transition whose outcome, unfortunately, we already know—or at least can foresee! So far, this amounts to an exceptional personal success. But the most important thing is to organize elections so as not to suffer the same fate as those who failed like losers (“losers,” as President Donald Trump would have said). An unsuccessful Senate candidate in 2016 under the Vérité party banner, today, as skillful as he is realistic, he is not a career politician, but he is far from being a mere figurehead, challenged by a radical opposition. In the process of removing the CPT, he proved to be an excellent tactician in his capacity as a businessman amid so much confusion and uncertainty, that too must be acknowledged.

But even in the absence of the seven presidential councilors and the two observers, whose contortions, scandals and maneuvering were abhorred by public opinion, the electoral process remains a never-ending issue for everyone. From now on, the Prime Minister, freed from “tempting” presidential pressures, seems to be getting bogged down in an electoral crisis, whether deep or manufactured. However, the agreement between the de facto government and the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) on the budget for electoral operations—US$120 million—comes at the right time. The conflict also stemmed from the fact that the Executive amended the draft Electoral Decree prepared by the CEP, not to mention the appointment of Director General Uder Antoine by the Executive when he had just been installed by the CEP as Executive Director. Here we have a strange case, a situation filled with risks and mistrust. This is also another paradox in relations between the CEP and the provisional government. Politics, as always, was fueled by more uncertainty than firm resolve under the CPT, which embodied the figures of failure and foolishness. The example of their attitude toward crime/insecurity is completely disappointing. But the consensual basis of the transitional government led by Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, in terms of sharing the cake or inclusion, is not as solid as that of Ariel Henry, who is now in exile. Many political groups and “leaders” are calling for Fils-Aimé’s departure for various reasons—the poorly divided cake being the first: only the organization of elections by all possible means and within a reasonable timeframe can allow the head of the Executive to avoid the unfortunate fate of Prosper Avril and Ariel Henry, or even the CPT. Organizing elections, and organizing elections alone, is the path to follow, the peaceful way out. No transition can last an entire presidential term, as Ariel Henry apparently wanted! Five years have passed since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse! Why? For nothing! To amplify the chaos! For the benefit of sectoral interests! To continuously share the “government cake”! To the detriment of the suffering and neglected majority! To watch the country collapse into the darkness of banditry and chronic instability! For lack of national multisectoral leadership or a common societal project.
