The
Organization of American States’ (OAS) Mission currently in Haiti says
that “the discussions between the Haitian stakeholders are at a very
delicate and urgent stage amid the political situation that the country
now faces with the imminent departure from office of President Michel
Martelly on
February 7.”
Head
of Mission, Antigua and Barbuda Ambassador and Chairman of the OAS
Permanent Council, Sir Ronald Sanders, revealed today that the OAS
Mission has met important opposition stakeholders. These include Maryse
Narcisse of Fanmi Lavalas, Mirlande Manigat of RDNP, Joanas Gue of the
Vérité platform, and representatives of the Group of 30. Additional
meetings are due to be held today and
tomorrow.
The
Mission previously met President Martelly, Prime Minister Evans Paul,
and members of the Government, the Presidents of both Chambers of
Parliament, parliamentary representatives from various political
parties, members of the Supreme Court, and leaders of civil society.
Ambassador
Sanders said that “the Mission has had very valuable discussions and we
recognize that the best solution to the present impasse is one that the
stakeholders reach collectively”. “We encourage an inclusive dialogue
by all parties to decide collectively on a sustainable mechanism that
can manage the affairs of Haiti, including arrangements to conclude the
elections’ process.”
