Haiti Prime Minister Ariel Henry resigns, transitional council takes power

Al Jazeera  

Haiti enters a new phase aimed at stemming its spiralling political and security crisis, but the future is uncertain. Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry has resigned, paving the way for a transitional council to lead the embattled country. Meanwhile, about 360,000 Haitians remain internally displaced, with gang violence forcing 95,000 people to flee the capital and pushing five million into “acute hunger”, according to the UN. But many rights observers have been wary about what comes next in a country that has seen decades of spiralling crises fuelled by corrupt leaders, failed state institutions, poverty, gang violence, and an international community, led by the US, whose interventions in domestic politics are widely unpopular with Haitians. For its part, Kenya had paused its plans to deploy a security force to Haiti until the transitional council took power although it remains unclear if that is still the case.
