"Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry Resigns Amid Escalating Gang Violence"

Haiti's de facto president, Ariel Henry, has announced his resignation amidst a political crisis exacerbated by gang violence and international intervention. The country's instability has deep roots in corrupt leadership and external influence, with armed groups wielding significant power. The recent alliance of armed groups, Vivre Ensemble, has forced Henry to step down and is now exerting control over the country. The proposed multinational security mission to confront gang violence faces logistical and constitutional challenges, while the US and the UN are now supporting a transition framework led by Haitian civil society. The future remains uncertain as Haiti grapples with a political vacuum and widespread violence.
