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.
