Haiti enters critical constitutional crisis as five Transitional Presidential Council members voted January 21 to dismiss Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aime just two weeks before the CPT mandate expires February 7 2026. United States intervened forcefully with Secretary of State Marco Rubio warning corrupt politicians will pay a heavy price and demanding CPT dissolution by deadline. Security operations killed six gang members in Bercy while 50 civilians died in PNH actions since January 1. Gang Suppression Force deployment delayed until April 2026 despite urgent need. National dialogue failed to produce post-transition governance framework. Humanitarian conditions deteriorate with 5.7 million facing acute hunger and 340000 Haitians losing TPS status February 3.
