HAITI, 2016/03/20
A protracted political crisis in Haiti may hamper the stabilization gains completed in recent year and further decline the island country’s economic increase, the top United Nations official in the country told the Security Council yesterday.
Briefing the Council, the Appropriate Representative of the Secretary-General and chief of the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), Sandra Honoré, said the next few weeks would be decisive for the short and mid-term prospects for Haiti’s democratic consolidation.
“There is therefore no alternative to the return, as any minute at this time as possible, to the path of institutional and political stability, through the completion of the pending elections,” she said.

If amount goes as planned, Haiti, yes North America’s Haiti, will become the new member of the African Union sometime in January. Haiti and Africa share a sense of history, and African nations stepped up in the wake of Haiti’s earthquake, which has led some to conclude the time is right to formalize their ties.
The African Union has 54 member states — amount of them are located on the African continent. But as early as January, that could change.
