The Haitian Prime Minister has resigned from his position amidst escalating violence and chaos in the country. Armed gangs have seized control of large parts of Haiti, leading to widespread looting and insecurity. This sudden departure from office has left the nation in a state of uncertainty and turmoil.
In response to the crisis, Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a meeting with Caribbean leaders in Jamaica to discuss a way forward for Haiti. During the meeting, a deal was reached on the composition of a transitional presidential council and principles for membership. This agreement marks a significant step towards stabilizing the situation in Haiti and paving the way for a peaceful transition of power.
