At the same time, a major opposition coalition called the Ministry of Democracy and People put forward its own proposal on Tuesday to establish so-called independent moral authority. The group will be composed of human rights activists, religious leaders, academics, and others responsible for reviewing and merging all proposals.

Also on Tuesday, members of Haitian civil society announced that they are working on a smooth transition proposal and declined to say whether they support specific people to lead Haiti.

“We don’t want them to belittle us to who should do what,” said Magalie Georges, a teacher and union leader.

Lambert was supposed to take the oath on Sunday as a symbolic move, but the event was cancelled at the last minute because he said that not all supporters could attend.

Meet the U.S. delegation

Joseph, Henry, and Lambert met with a U.S. delegation on Sunday, which included representatives from the Department of Justice and Homeland Security. They flew to Haiti to encourage dialogue, “to reach a political agreement that would enable the country to hold free and fair elections.” ,” the White House National Security Council said.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that the delegation received a request for additional assistance, but she did not provide details, and said that Haiti’s request for US military assistance is still “under review.”

Psaki said that local political uncertainty is a complicated factor when the government weighs how to provide help.

“It is clear from their travels that the future of political leadership lacks clarity,” she said.

Haiti is also seeking security assistance from the United Nations. The United Nations has been involved in Haiti affairs on and off since 1990, but the last group of United Nations military peacekeepers left the country in 2017.

The details of the meeting between the US delegation and the three men rarely appeared, although Lambert said he was urged to work with other actors whose identities he did not identify.

“I’m not looking for personal glory. The first thing we think about is the country,” he told Caribbean Radio and Television.

But a Florida pastor who knew Sanon was a business partner told the Associated Press that Sanon was pious and they did not believe he was involved in the violence.

The colleague, who requested anonymity for security reasons, said that he thought Shannon had been deceived and said he was “completely easily deceived.”

He said Sanon told him that some people claiming to represent the U.S. state and the Department of Justice approached him and they hoped to appoint him as president.

The colleague said that this plan was only to arrest Moise, and if Sanon knew that Moise would be killed, he would not participate.

“I assure you,” the colleague said.

“This should be a mission to save Haiti from hell with the support of the US government.”
