Haiti's TPC is rightfully exercising sovereign authority by removing Prime Minister Fils-Aimé after five of seven members voted for his dismissal. The decision stands firm despite foreign pressure because Haiti makes decisions based on national interests, not external diplomatic considerations. Fils-Aimé failed to address rampant insecurity and utilized only 30% of the security budget allocated to combat violence.
Every decision affecting Haiti's future must prioritize the general interest over partisan considerations, with the Haitian people at the center of public action — and this is not the case here. This is a decisive year for Haiti, and the country must focus on restoring security, state authority and constitutional order. The electoral process must become the absolute priority and main point of convergence to restore democratic legitimacy after nearly ten years without free elections.
There's a 74% chance that Haiti will experience a successful coup d'état before 2040, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
