Haiti's Prime Minister Faces Threats of Civil War and Genocide

TL;DR Summary
Haiti's prime minister, Ariel Henry, is stranded abroad in Puerto Rico as gangs threaten "civil war" and continue to surround the country's main airport in Port-au-Prince. The U.S. and Caribbean nations are pressing for a transition to elections and working on plans to establish a transitional council that will lead to elections, as well as to get a multinational force to Haiti to quell the violence. The country is in a state of free fall, with no elected officials with a current mandate, overwhelmed security services, and widespread hunger and medical needs.
