(Reuters) – U.S Secretary of State John Kerry urged all sides to find a consensus solution to Haiti’s political crisis on Tuesday as one of the country’s top political leaders warned the impoverished Caribbean nation was on the brink of political chaos again.

Members of the Haitian Diaspora wrote an open letter to the Haitian government, where they urged for a transparent and effective electoral process. The letter, which was published on the Haitian Caribbean News Network (HCNN) on Tuesday, called for Haitian leaders to “rethink the intransigent positions that they have held” and contemplate the type of Haiti they want, putting forth “workable alternatives to the pattern of confrontation” that has characterized the country’s recent political turmoil.
