Progress that can’t be ignored

Haiti has made some solid progress in 2025 despite all the chaos. The Antoine Simon Airport in Les Cayes just opened as the country's third international airport, giving people an alternative to Port-au-Prince. The long-awaited canal at the Massacre River was finally completed, helping Haitian farmers get better access to water for agriculture. Politically, economist Fritz Alphonse Jean is leading the transitional government, and there's a constitutional referendum in May to modernize the system. Haiti's also working on rebuilding its military with a five-year plan to recruit and train 20,000 personnel. It's not perfect, but there are definitely some steps in the right direction.
