Haiti’s Prime Minister Ariel Henry resigns as gangs run rampant through country engulfed in crisis

We will be a caretaker government until they name a prime minister and a new cabinet,” Henry said. Henry’s adviser Jean Junior Joseph told CNN that Henry would remain in his role until the formation of a new interim government. But his decision only further enraged protesters who had for months demanded he stand down as Haiti slid further into poverty and rampant gang violence. While Henry was out of the country, gangs laid siege to the country’s main airport to prevent his safe return. The chaos has forced tens of thousands to flee their homes, adding to the more than 300,000 already displaced by gang violence.
