In October 2023, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 2699, authorizing a Multinational Security Support (MSS) Mission in Haiti for an initial 12 months. This decision follows Haiti's request for international assistance amid escalating civil unrest, gang violence, and a severe humanitarian crisis.

Kevie Lamour, Justice and Human Rights Commission Coordinator at FAREHD, discusses the formation and role of Haiti's transitional presidential council. Established in April 2024 to address political instability and gang violence, the 9-member council will govern until elections can be held by February 2026. Prime Minister Ariel Henry transferred power to this council, which aims to appoint a new prime minister, create a provisional electoral council, and define a credible roadmap for elections. The council's success hinges on restoring security, rebuilding democratic legitimacy, and expediting fair elections.

Kevie Lamour, Justice and Human Rights Commission Coordinator at FAREHD, discusses the potential impact of the 2024 U.S. elections on Haiti and its diaspora. Although U.S. elections do not directly influence Haitian leadership, the outcomes of the presidential and congressional races will shape U.S. policies and engagement with Haiti. Key areas of concern for the Haitian diaspora include Haiti's electoral transition, robust security assistance, and immigration policies.

FAREHD's mission is to gather Haitians living abroad for their participation in the development of their regions of origin.
