UN Warns Security Council Against Unrealistic Election Timelines in Haiti Amid Rising Violence
Carlos Ruiz Massieu told the UN Security Council that after the October 6 decree more than 3,500 candidates and over 35 political forces registered, but premature election dates undermine trust in institutions. From July to September gangs killed more than 1,000 people, and the number of IDPs reached nearly 1.5 million. The gang suppression force exceeded 2,000 troops from six countries but faces shortages of logistics and equipment.
