Representatives of the United Nations  's (UNSC) fifteen member states flew to Haiti yesterday. The nation is moving to hold new elections with President  presently ruling by decree. President Martelly, seen here in 2012, is ruling by decree after the collapse of parliament. Martelly swore in a new Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) of nine members yesterday. It is Martelly's fifth CEP in four years. Last month a presidential commission recommended the prior CEP's resignation as part of a package of measures to move the country towards new elections. The commission was Martelly's response to widespread anti-regime protests that started in October. The sometimes-violent protests were triggered by failure to hold elections, some due since 2011.
