Ottawa: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made it clear on Sunday that the Canadian military’s intervention in Haiti cannot take place unless all political parties in that country agree to it.

Haiti was also discussed by French-speaking leaders and international organizations at the two-day annual Francophonie summit held in Tunisia.

Trudeau announced $16.5 million in aid to stabilize Haiti. The situation in Haiti has taken a very critical turn.

The gangs have taken over the supply of fuel and daily use, and cholera is also widespread there. Trudeau said half of the financial aid he provides will be spent on helping people in many ways and the rest will be spent on curbing corruption and gender-based violence.

But the Haitian government has called for the military’s intervention at the international level to crack down on the gangs. On this occasion, the US has said that Canada can play a better role in military intervention. On Sunday, Trudeau said Canada was working with the Caribbean Governments Organization CARICOM to find out how the international community could help with this situation.

Trudeau said that for this, it is also very important to know the opinions of the various political parties of Haiti.
