Haitians, in the face of relentless hardships, celebrated the New Year and their country’s Independence Day with the traditional soup joumou, a symbol of solidarity and resilience. However, the situation remains dire. The year 2024 ended in violence, leaving thousands dead, food insecurity worsening, and the country at a standstill. The Provisional Transitional Council, expected to stabilize the situation, has struggled to fulfill its promises, fueling frustration and calls for change.
