Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aime secured his first major governance achievement on February 21 when dozens of political parties and civil society organizations signed the National Pact for Stability and the Organization of Elections in Petion-Ville.

TPS litigation at the D.C. Circuit continues without ruling.
