It's heartening to see Haiti taking such a decisive action with the formation of the transitional council. It's a positive step towards democracy and shows a real commitment to resolving the ongoing crises.

However, it's crucial that the international community continues to offer its support, ensuring that the council's efforts lead to sustainable peace and democratic governance. It's a reminder that, in the face of adversity, collective action and international solidarity can pave the way for substantial political reform and social progress.
