Port-Au-Prince, February 8 (RHC)-- Haitian Prime Minister Evans Pol has called for unity among all political forces to facilitate the transition of power and the formation of a new government, as President Michel Martelly's term concluded on Sunday, February 7th.

In a message to the nation, Pol pointed to dialogue among all political forces as the best and only way to find a definitive solution to the current crisis, and called on political parties and members of parliament to leave aside their differences and work together towards that common goal.
