In a significant development, officials in Haiti have taken a crucial step by formally establishing a transitional council. This council has been tasked with the responsibility of selecting new leaders for the country, a move that comes at a time when gangs are increasingly asserting control over various regions in Haiti.
The decision to create a transitional council highlights the urgent need for stable governance in Haiti, which has been grappling with political turmoil and security challenges. The country has been facing a power vacuum following the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in July, further exacerbating the existing crisis.
