Will Controlling the “Tie-Wearing Bandits” Solve the Security Crisis in Haiti?
Since the establishment of a new executive in Haiti in May 2024, led by a Presidential Transition Council (CPT) and a new Prime Minister, the country’s security situation remains alarming, despite the arrival of foreign troops under the Multinational Security Support Mission (MMAS). Former President Michel Martelly, recently sanctioned by the United States for his involvement in drug trafficking and his support for armed gangs, now embodies the figure of the “tie-wearing bandit.” While these sanctions mark a symbolic turning point, questions persist about their real impact on the ground, given the past role of the United States in his rise to power. In this context, support from the European Union for the Haitian justice system to combat criminal elites would be a welcome initiative.
Appeal by the Coordination Europe Haiti to the European Union to support a fair and sustainable transition in Haiti
The Coordination Europe Haïti (CoEH) has launched an appeal to the European Union on the occasion of the appointment of Garry Conille as Haiti’s new Prime Minister and his cabinet. The challenges facing the new government are immense. The COEH calls on the European Union to apply its fundamental values and principles of justice, democracy and human rights in its policy towards Haiti. The COEH calls on the EU to allocate significant resources to help Haiti deal with the various crises. And to support the establishment of a Truth and Justice Commission in Haiti, tasked with investigating the workings of the gangs and identifying their supporters, in order to bring justice to the victims and contribute to the implementation of an effective policy to combat the trafficking of illegal arms and munitions in Haiti.
