The silence of Haitian authorities in the face of the threat hanging over the TPS (Temporary Protected Status) of their compatriots in the United States carries heavy consequences. While entire families see their futures suspended by decisions in Washington, Port-au-Prince seems to be watching the storm from afar, without any visible diplomatic mobilization. Public efforts, coordinated advocacy with American elected officials, and a close alliance with the diaspora were expected, but initiatives have remained limited, giving way to a feeling of helplessness.
