The head of US diplomacy, Anthony Blinken, expressed yesterday Wednesday his belief that the new “council” of political transition in Haiti will be able to be formed “in the coming days” and that thus it will be possible to develop an international force in the country, which is ravaged by criminal organizations.

“None of this is easy. None of this will happen overnight,” Mr. Blinken told reporters, acknowledging the challenges ahead in Haiti, where law and order has collapsed and gangs control most of the capital.

“But at least there is a plan, a process, to get there. It was formed by Haiti, it is run by Haiti, but it is supported by many countries, not only (America), but from all over the world,” added the US Secretary of State.

The head of US diplomacy also said that he spoke by phone yesterday with Kenyan President William Ruto, who assured him that the deployment of an international security force would go ahead once the new council is formed and new authorities take over.

The Kenyan president “confirmed that Kenya is ready to lead this mission once the new council is formed — which is expected to happen in the coming days — and an interim president is elected,” Mr. Blinken assured.

Haitian political parties and figures were yesterday trying to agree on the composition of the transitional authorities after the announcement of the resignation of the controversial Prime Minister Ariel Henri, in order to soon restore stability to the gang-ridden Caribbean country.

On Monday, during an emergency session in Jamaica with the participation of Haitians, the Community of Caribbean States (CARICOM), the UN and Western countries, especially the US and France, various Haitian agencies were tasked with creating as soon as possible the new “presidential transition council”.
