Leaders in the Caribbean have pledged to join forces to tackle crime and violence as they reaffirmed their support forHaiti, which the UN says continues to be “paralysed”by gangs.

Taking the reins as chair of the Caribbean Community (Caricom), a bloc of 15 countries, Andrew Holness, Jamaica’s prime minister, said security in the region would be a “matter of great priority” under his chairmanship.

The hotel, a historic landmark in Port-au-Prince known for its cultural and architectural significance, was reduced to ruins in what officials described as a “criminal act of unspeakable violence.” The government vowed that those responsible would face justice.

TAs part of the implementation of its hurricane season action plan, the Port-au-Prince City Hall, in partnership with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Ministry of Public Works, distributed work tools (shovels, wheelbarrows, picks, boots, etc...) to 230 contract workers engaged in ravine cleaning work across several areas of the city.

As Haiti tries to turn the page with a new council, a new prime minister, and a new government, the perennial question resurfaces: How can this nation, rich in history, grapple with persistent poverty and unemployment? Can it turn the tide and build a prosperous future? The answers can be drawn from a global comparative analysis.
