World Leaders Call for Action on Haiti Crisis

At the United Nations General Assembly, Suriname's President Santokhi urged the international community to increase support for Haiti, emphasizing that 'Haiti fatigue' is unacceptable as the country faces ongoing instability since the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in 2021. Haiti's Prime Minister Garry Conille echoed these sentiments, warning that failure to assist Haiti could have regional repercussions, and called for more robust international investment in the UN-authorized Kenya-led Multinational Security Support Mission. St. Kitts and Nevis' Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew highlighted the need for coordinated international action to address Haiti's political and humanitarian crises, reflecting CARICOM's commitment to stabilization efforts. He also noted the necessity of recruiting security personnel fluent in Haitian Creole to enhance policing effectiveness. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reinforced the call for global cooperation, urging nations to implement sanctions and contribute to the international response. The collective message from these leaders underscores the urgent need for tangible support to alleviate Haiti's multifaceted challenges.
