Spokesman Lin Jian thanked the government of the Dominican Republic, the World Food Program, the United Nations Integrated Office for Haiti and relevant parties in that country for their support in making this move.

Criminal gangs in Haiti maintain a plan against the State that includes attacks on the Bank of the Republic, armed actions against the port, power stations, police stations, prisons, airports and ministries, and even burning down the house of the director general of the National Police.

The threats of the head of the Viv Ansanm gang coalition, Jimmy Chérisier better known as Barbecue, are still in force today for the members of the newly formed Haitian Presidential Transitional Council.

Jimmy Chérisier along with other elements who want to get involved in the Haitian political scene and traditional opponents criticize the formation of this apparatus with the mediation of the Caribbean Community and the supervision of the U.S. government.
