The convergence of tactical PNH gains, governance accountability pressure, and record displacement against a closing Dominican enforcement perimeter creates a critical stress test for Haiti's transition architecture over the next 30 days. If PNH operational tempo produces measurable territorial consolidation without corresponding humanitarian relief -- particularly on displacement and water contamination -- international partners will face increasing pressure to escalate either funding commitments or diplomatic intervention on the governance side. The CPT mandate's extended timeline to February 7, 2027 provides political runway, but operational and humanitarian deterioration at current velocity does not respect institutional calendars.
