Haiti's transitional council has finalized the appointment of a new Cabinet to address the ongoing crisis of gang violence in the country. The new Cabinet, confirmed by government spokeswoman Kettia Marcellus, includes key positions such as Minister of Justice and Public Security, Minister of Interior, and Defense Minister.
The country has been grappling with a surge in gang activity, with gangs controlling a significant portion of the capital, Port-au-Prince. The recent attacks by gangs led to the resignation of former Prime Minister Ariel Henry and the dissolution of his Cabinet. The violence resulted in numerous casualties and displacements, prompting the government to seek international assistance.
