Port-au-Prince, 24 September 2025.- In a correspondence addressed to the members of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) on Tuesday, September 23, Fritz Alphonse Jean denounces the inaction of Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé in the face of the resurgence of armed violence. The former President of the Council recalls that despite the warnings, foreign supporters recruited to support the National Police of Haiti (PNH) did not bring any tangible results. He points out a lack of coordination, a lack of records and accuses the head of government of« incompetence » and « criminal negligence ».
The finding of a safe failure
In his letter, Fritz Alphonse Jean points out that all his requests for clarification, especially when he was coordinating the CPT, remained dead letter. Meanwhile, the phenomenon of kidnapping is gaining momentum, gangs continue to expand their grip and massacres are increasing, just like the recent one in Cabaret, where dozens of people have died.
He also referred to the tragedy in Port-au-Prince, where an armed drone had killed eight children, recalling that a similar incident had already claimed the lives of two specialized police officers. « It's too much! », he wrote, accusing the Prime Minister of not being accountable to the CPT or the nation.
Unfulfilled promises
According to him, foreign government-backed experts neither neutralized gang leaders nor sustainably strengthened the capacity of the HNP. The promised air support remains non-existent, and national roads remain under the control of bandits. Meanwhile, he said, « the population dies under drones and the experts continue to cash money without results ».
Fritz Alphonse Jean does not hesitate to qualify this management as « bad faith », « incompetence » and « criminal negligence »while denouncing the mutism of the Prime Minister in the face of atrocities.
A reminder that questions
However, it is not pointless to recall that when Fritz Alphonse Jean presided over the CPT, he himself defended the idea of « war budget » to strengthen the security struggle. This budget, which is supposed to mobilize exceptional resources, has never been implemented, not even up to 14 per cent. This failure weakens its position today and revives the debate on the shared responsibility of the actors of the transition in the current security drift.
In closing his letter, Jean calls on his Council colleagues to position themselves clearly: « Who, within the CPT, wants to continue to support the Prime Minister in this bloodbath and thus accelerate the descent of the Haitian population to hell? » A call that could revive internal tensions within the Council and further weaken a transition already undermined by divisions and the inability to contain the security crisis.
