STRATEGIC HORIZON

December 31, 2025 Emergency OAS CARICOM or UN consultations by mid-January on institutional continuity mechanisms would indicate international actors preparing alternative transition frameworks rather than accepting CPT extension. Gang violence escalation in second or third week of January targeting electoral infrastructure or international facilities would signal armed groups' February 7 leverage strategy. Economic indicators for Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 showing acceleration beyond 16 percent cumulative decline would increase pressure for immediate political resolution rather than extended transition timeline. Domestic opposition coalition formation beyond MORN bringing together civil society, private sector, and diaspora networks would challenge CPT legitimacy more effectively than isolated protests.
