Haiti prime minister forms new cabinet amid political turmoil

Al Jazeera  

The announcement comes as the country grapples with a rise in violence, kidnappings and ongoing fuel shortages. Prime Minister Ariel Henry has sworn in his new cabinet, more than four months after he assumed leadership of Haiti following the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. The appointments on Wednesday come as Haiti struggles with a rise in violence, kidnappings and ongoing fuel shortages blamed on powerful gangs that have blocked gas distribution terminals. “You accepted this under difficult conditions,” Henry told his new cabinet on Wednesday. Henry also talked about the fuel shortages and spiralling prices, saying the government has invested tens of thousands of dollars to subsidise gas but that it cannot sustain that situation much longer.
