Haiti Ousts Prime Minister Amid Escalating Security Crisis

Haitian Prime Minister Garry Conille has been ousted by the country's ruling council just six months into his tenure, with businessman Alix Didier Fils-Aime named as his replacement. Conille, who was expected to guide Haiti through a gang-led security crisis and towards presidential elections, called his removal illegal and concerning for Haiti's future. The country, currently without a president or parliament, faces severe gang violence and humanitarian challenges, with over 3,600 deaths and 500,000 displaced this year. The transitional presidential council, formed after the ousting of Conille's predecessor, Ariel Henry, is tasked with restoring order.
