Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry who was returning from Kenya after signing a reciprocity agreement for the MSS deployment, has had difficulty returning to Haiti after a gang takeover of the international airport of Port-au-Prince.
The Haitian government, led by the Minister of the Economy Michel Patrick Boisvert, has said nothing about the prime minister’s return date.
“The information obtained indicated that Henry’s plane was circling, but his entry was not authorized,” according to Dominican newspaper CDN.
“He was able to make the landing without problems on the neighboring island because it is an American territory.”
A political party led by Guy Philippe has proposed a presidential council with the former rebel and convict to serve as president of Haiti as the country confronts its latest crisis.
The political party, Réveil National pour la Souveraineté d’Haïti, said Tuesday that Phillipe, a Haitian judge and a nun should be installed at the National Palace to govern Haiti.
Jean Rodaille Lundi, a spokesperson for Réveil National said, “We arrived at the choice of these personalities after several meetings with various political parties and civil society organizations.”
“These three individuals on the council will have the destiny of the country in their hands to navigate the difficult situation we are in today.”
Alongside Philippe, the other two members of the council named are Appellate Judge Durin Junior Duret and nun Françoise Saint-Vil Villier.
The trio would have the mission of putting the country back on the path of development through the implementation of 5 major points, according to Réveil National, Lundi said. He listed five main tasks for the panel:
1. Restoring national security
2. Economic recovery and food security
3. Addressing constitutional issues
4. Strengthening institutions
5. Holding elections for the renewal of political personnel
“The council and the signing parties will choose a prime minister to form a consensus government to restore order in the country,” Lundi added. “After this consensus government, all Haitians will be able to return home, and there will be no more lawless zones.”
The UN Security Council plans to hold a private meeting on Haiti in the afternoon of Wednesday, March 6, at the request of Ecuador and the United States, according to the Council’s Haiti spokespersons.
