Haiti's transition framework faced its most severe test in the last 24 hours when multiple CPT members attempted to revoke Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aime, only to be blocked by an explicit U.S. warning of sanctions against destabilizing actors. The failed institutional coup exposes deep fractures within the transition authority just days before the February 7 deadline. Simultaneously, PNH operations in the Bercy-Arcahaie corridor and central Port-au-Prince generated approximately 6,000 new displacements since January 6, straining humanitarian systems already operating at 10 percent hospital capacity. Gang territorial control remains at 80-90 percent of the capital while international security force deployment lags at 1,000 personnel against a 5,500 target.
