      <description><![CDATA[<h3>Hans Joseph removed as Fils-Aimé and Uder Antoine remain protected</h3>
<p>Haiti’s political transition  is facing fresh scrutiny after reports of “selective dismissals” involving Hans Joseph. At the same time, Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé and Uder Antoine are described as being protected “for the cause”. The briefing does not provide the full article text. Still, the headline suggests accusations that removals within the transition structure are being applied unevenly, a sensitive issue in a country already struggling with weak institutions, gang violence, and public distrust.</p>
<h3>Aid group warns displaced children face rising sexual exploitation</h3>
<p>An organisation has warned that  displaced children in Haiti are facing increasing sexual exploitation , adding to wider alarm over the collapse of child protection in camps and informal shelters. The warning fits a broader humanitarian pattern documented by UNICEF, which reported a 1,000% increase in sexual violence against children between 2023 and 2024. UNICEF has also warned that continued displacement exposes children to gang recruitment, with children estimated to make up around 50% of gang members in Haiti.</p>
<h3>Alix Didier Fils-Aimé travels to Saint Lucia for CARICOM summit</h3>
<p>Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé left Haiti for Saint Lucia for the  51st Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of CARICOM , which is being held in Gros Islet from July 5 to 8, 2026. The summit is chaired by Saint Lucia’s Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre, who assumed the CARICOM chairmanship on July 1. For Haiti, the meeting matters because CARICOM has remained one of the main regional diplomatic platforms involved in discussions around Haiti’s transition, security crisis, humanitarian emergency, and political roadmap.</p>
<h3>Cap-Haïtien celebrates its Grenadiers in festive atmosphere</h3>
<p>Cap-Haïtien celebrated Haiti’s Grenadiers in a  festive atmosphere , reflecting how football continues to serve as a rare source of national pride and unity amid the country’s political and security crisis. The briefing does not include the match details or quotes, but the headline confirms that the northern city held public celebrations around the national team. The moment is significant because Haiti’s sporting successes often carry meaning beyond football, offering Haitians a shared emotional release at a time when many communities are dealing with displacement, violence, and economic hardship.</p>
<h3>CARICOM mission signals Haiti’s search for regional backing</h3>
<p>The repeated mention of Fils-Aimé’s Saint Lucia  mission  shows how central CARICOM diplomacy has become to Haiti’s political moment. The Saint Lucia summit is expected to cover major regional priorities, but Haiti’s crisis remains one of the Caribbean bloc’s most urgent concerns. CARICOM says heads of government will meet from  July 6 to 8  after the opening ceremony, with business sessions focused on issues critical to the regional agenda. For Fils-Aimé, the trip is both diplomatic and political: it allows Haiti to seek continued regional support while trying to show that the transitional authorities remain engaged with Caribbean partners despite deep domestic instability.</p>
