The United States Urges Dialogue Between Haiti’s Political Actors

The United States continues to urge all of Haiti’s political, economic, and civil society stakeholders to enter without delay or precondition an inclusive dialogue to identify and pursue a path to form a functioning government that will serve the Haitian people and address the country’s pressing economic and social concerns.  Haiti’s leaders need to work together toward a peaceful and democratic solution now, with an increased sense of urgency.

The Haitian people are suffering; we stand with those Haitians who value peace while courageously calling for accountability.  The United States deplores the current gridlock in Haiti which directly contributes to violence, a spike in humanitarian needs, and interruption of daily life for the Haitian people.
