Nor can they access the vaccines that provide the fastest route out of the pandemic.Ī global vaccination gap threatens everyone, in developing and advanced economies alike.ĭeveloping countries urgently need access to additional liquidity, to respond to the pandemic, and to invest in a sustainable and inclusive recovery. Many developing countries face financing constraints that mean they cannot invest in recovery and resilience. We cannot walk head on, eyes wide open, into a debt crisis that is foreseeable and preventable.
We are already in the worst global recession in 90 years. Unfortunately, not enough has been done to support those countries – many dozens of countries – that are at highest risk. The United Nations has been warning of this crisis since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic a year ago. There have been credible forecasts of losses of global output in the trillions of dollars.

Today’s meeting is aimed at preventing a debt crisis that will have the greatest impact on the poorest people, in the most vulnerable countries. Ladies and gentlemen of the press - good morning, good afternoon or good evening. Moïse had appointed Henry as prime minister shortly before he was killed at his home in an attack that also seriously wounded his wife, Martine Moïse.Thank you very much. "The real culprits, the intellectual authors and coauthor and sponsor of the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse will be found and brought to justice and punished for their crimes." "Rest assured that no distraction, no summons or invitation, no maneuver, no threat, no rear-guard combat, no aggression will distract me from my mission," Henry said. Henry has not specifically addressed the issue in public, although during a meeting with politicians and civil society leaders on Saturday, he said he is committed to helping stabilize Haiti. In recent days, Haiti's ombudsman-like Office of Citizen Protection announced it was demanding that Henry step down and asked that the international community stop supporting him. "It's not clear where we are going, and it's not clear what the international community thinks about everything." Another agency has called for the prime minister to resign "We have a very confusing situation, a power struggle at the moment, and we will see who will win it," he said. Robert Fatton, a Haitian politics expert at the University of Virginia, said there was clearly a power struggle within the government between Henry and those who supported Moïse. He said the judge has three months to determine whether to take action.

The request filed by Port-au-Prince prosecutor Bed-Ford Claude, who was fired by Henry, came on the same day that the prosecutor had asked that the prime minister come to a meeting and explain why he spoke twice with a key suspect in the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse just hours after the killing. PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - A new chief prosecutor was sworn in Tuesday just hours after his predecessor asked a judge to charge Prime Minister Ariel Henry in the slaying of the president and to bar him from leaving Haiti, a move that could further destabilize a country roiled by turmoil following the assassination and a recent major earthquake.
