US President Barack Obama with the Haitian Head of State Michel Martelly, Jamaica
KINGSTON, Jamaica (sentinel.ht) - The Haitian Head of State, Michel Martelly, posted a photo on twitter of himself crossing paths with U.S. President Barack Obama while in Jamaica for the CARICOM-USA summit.
The photo had the caption "conversation with my American counterpart Barack Obama on the sidelines of the Summit of CARICOM-USA in Jamaica."
Obama and Martelly didn't appear to share more than a few words much less a head-to-head.
According to Le Nouvelliste, a source at the National Palace said that "President Barack Obama expressed hope that the elections planned for this year are going well and in a calm atmosphere."
Martelly assured Obama that "the state will ensure that everything goes well... the government plays a part, and fair elections also depend on other players," Martelly said to Obama, according to the palace source.
Elections in Haiti are four years overdue and doubts are beginning to emerge in a real way that elections will not be held in 2015.
Haiti is currently in a totalitarian regime with Martelly at its head. There is no Parliament and the justice system does not operate independent of the regime.
