Prime Minister Ariel Henry, in power since the assassination in July 2021 of President Jovenel Moïse, is still in place. Many Haitians have been calling for his departure in the streets for several days.

A departure also requested by the Montana group, initiated by civil society in 2021 to find a Haitian solution to the crisis. Monique Clesca, former United Nations official, is one of the signatories of the group. She says: "We are not for violence and we have never encouraged it"
