Haiti advocates reject US push for elections after Moise killing

Al Jazeera  

Civil society activists say holding vote amid deep political instability is not the way out of Haiti’s current crisis. The United States’s top diplomat has urged Haitian political leaders to work towards holding elections later this year, a demand top civil society activists in Haiti and other experts have pushed back against as “a mistake” amid deep political instability. “But we certainly do not need a team of US boots on the ground and I’m very glad that they have said no, and I hope that they will continue to say no.” US government officials travelled to Haiti on Sunday and later met all three top Haitian political leaders – Joseph, Henry and Lambert. “We must be clear on the way forward, and the way forward must be Haitians, civil society and politicians, coming together.” ‘Sham outcomes’ Meanwhile, leading Haitian human rights advocate Pierre Esperance on July 9 urged Biden to take a different approach to the country than his predecessors. Or will we back Haitian civil society as they do the work to restore real democracy?” Peter Mulrean, who served as US ambassador to Haiti from 2015 to 2017, also wrote in another Just Security column that forcing Haitian elections to take place this year “would be a mistake”.
