Haiti: Protests, violence prompts int'l call for ‘realistic solutions’ to crisis

United Nations, Feb 12 (UNI) Opposition-led protests in Haiti calling for the president to step down, which sparked violence last week, have prompted a group of senior diplomats, included the top UN official there, to issue a statement deploring the loss of life and calling for dialogue to end the crisis.
The so-called Core Group is made up of the head of UN Mission MINUJUSTH, Helen Meagher La Lime and the UN ambassadors of Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, the European Union, the United States, and the Special Representative of the Organisation of American States.
They took note of the demands expressed by demonstrators on Thursday, aimed at a worsening economic crisis that has led to a drop in living standards, inflation at around 15 per cent, a growing national deficit, and allegations of corruption levelled at President Jovenel Moise, before he took office.
