Haiti's Transitional Council Selects New Prime Minister Amid Ongoing Gang Violence

Garry Conille has been appointed as Haiti's new prime minister on Tuesday evening, nearly a month after a coalition within the transitional council initially chose someone else for the position. This development comes amidst ongoing gang violence in Port-au-Prince, where gangs have been terrorizing neighborhoods and destroying police stations and prisons using heavy machinery. Conille, who is currently the regional director of UNICEF for Latin America and the Caribbean, replaces Michel Patrick Boisvert as interim prime minister following Ariel Henry's resignation via letter.
