Haiti’s de facto president, facing ‘situation of war,’ seeks more help from Canada
June 5, 2025
Fritz Alphonse Jean, de facto president of Haiti, is calling from a well-appointed office in the Villa d’Accueil, temporary home of the Haitian government. It is an island of calm in what Mr. Jean calls the country’s “situation of war.”The machinery of state has been forced to largely relocate from the National Palace, a grand neoclassical building in Port-au-Prince that typically houses the country’s leaders, because of regular gunfights between heavily armed gangs and the habitually underpowered police.
Ottawa’s foreign ministry said it erred when it issued a public statement Friday advising all Canadians in the Middle East to leave if possible as a conflict between Israel and Iran escalates.The Department of Global Affairs in a Saturday statement instead told Canadians to consult its official travel advisories for countries and other areas in the region, which currently warn Canadians to “avoid all travel” to Israel, the West Bank, Gaza Strip, as well as Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen.
