Haiti's new leadership has ousted its police chief, Frantz Elbé, amid heavy criticism for what critics say is a failure to protects officers struggling to face heavily armed gangs wreaking havoc in the country.
According to The Associated Press, Elbé will be replaced by a former police chief, Normil Rameau, who had been dismissed by a prior administration in 2020. He faced similar accusations as Elbé, with then-Prime Minister Joseph Jouthe saying he wasn't effectively dealing with gangs, which were making territorial gains.
