The Presidential Transitional Council (CPT) announced in a statement on May 2, 2025, the dissolution of the National Commission for Disarmament, Dismantling, and Reintegration (CNDDR), citing a loss of confidence in its members. However, this structure had been reactivated and reinstalled just two months earlier, in March, under the supervision of the Prime Minister's office.
Created in 2006 by presidential decree, the CNDDR legally reports to the Prime Minister, not the CPT. The legal legitimacy of such a dissolution, without a formal decree, therefore remains questionable. Observers question the legal capacity to dissolve the state structure.
The dissolution of the CNDDR comes less than two months after its official reactivation, during the Council of Ministers on February 21, 2025, followed by the installation of its new members on March 10. At its head, Enold Florestal was coordinator, alongside controversial figures such as Abler Roudy Lalanne, already present in the 2019 version criticized for its lack of transparency.
This sudden about-face by the CPT coincides with the publication of a letter from Pierre Espérance, executive director of the RNDDH, denouncing the presence of figures involved in institutional abuses, such as Jean Rebel Dorcénat. However, a political denunciation, however serious, cannot in itself justify the abolition of a state structure that, under President Préval, had achieved results deemed positive. At the time, Alix Fils-Aimé, the father of Prime Minister Fils Aimé, was its Director.
This hasty dissolution can also be interpreted as a political maneuver by the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT) to regain control of a sensitive security issue that had been managed until now by the Prime Minister's Office, the structure on which the CNDDR legally depends.
