United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres will visit Haiti on June 16 to evaluate the severe impact of escalating gang violence and the international response to the country’s humanitarian crisis. This visit comes as nearly 1.5 million people have been displaced due to increased violence, particularly in Port-au-Prince and the Artibonite region. Guterres aims to meet with affected residents, especially women and girls, and review the deployment of the U.N.-authorized Gang Suppression Force. Concurrently, Haiti is facing significant political turmoil, with a power struggle between Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé and the Provisional Electoral Council over electoral law and governance issues. The U.N. political office and the U.S. Embassy are working to mediate tensions surrounding the electoral decree. Guterres's trip will also include discussions with humanitarian partners about ongoing challenges and support efforts. He will travel to Haiti via the Dominican Republic, where he plans to meet with local authorities.
