According to the Montana Accord leadership, the response to the crisis cannot be limited to the fight against armed groups. They believe that the insecurity is accompanied by a crisis of legitimacy of institutions, a weakening of the state, economic paralysis, and a worsening of social difficulties.
The Montana Accord challenges the legitimacy of the current government.
In its memorandum, the Montana Accord questioned the continued presence of Alix Didier Fils-Aimé as representative of the Haitian state to the international community.
They stated that the transition framework established in 2024 came to an end on February 7, 2026. They ask international partners to clarify the legal and political bases justifying their recognition of the current power.
Reservations about the electoral process
The Montana Accord also criticizes the international support for the transition process, particularly on the electoral issue.
The organization cites disputes surrounding certain decisions, including the decree of June 2, 2026, which modified the electoral framework. According to the organization, these disputes could affect public confidence in the electoral process.
A call for a new political consensus
To get out of the crisis, the Assembly of signatories of the Montana Accord proposes a new national political consensus.
It also recommends strengthening the independence of electoral institutions and adopting a clear timetable for the return to constitutional order.
According to the organization, a sustainable transition must be based on a sufficiently broad political base.
The Montana Accord posits that security, institutional stability, and the organization of credible elections are interconnected. It therefore calls upon the UN, the Organization of American States (OAS), and CARICOM to adopt a comprehensive approach combining security, respect for the rule of law, and the restoration of trust in institutions.
