In a statement dated April 13, 2025, the Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) said to be "deeply concerned" by recent reports that a coalition of criminal gangs is threatening to seize power and compel a change in the governance arrangements in Haiti at this time. This is completely unacceptable.

CARICOM strongly condemns any attempt to replace the transitional arrangements by force and violence. These arrangements were put in place by Haitian stakeholders to pave the way for free and fair elections by February 7, 2026, and to return Haiti to constitutional authority.

In view of the looming threat, CARICOM has been in consultation with Haiti and its international partners to urgently provide further security assistance to Haiti.

CARICOM salutes the efforts of the Haitian security forces and the MSS spearheaded by the Kenyans to enforce order and to protect the citizens of Haiti.

CARICOM urges the international community, including the United Nations and the Organisation of American States, to take all necessary steps to support the Haitian authorities as they address this crisis.

Following discussions between the Secretary of State and the Deputy Secretary of State with the Prime Minister of Barbados and Chair of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Mia Mottley, the United States supports the statement by CARICOM condemning any actions to destabilize Haiti’s Transitional Presidential Council
