"Haitian Prime Minister Urges Calm Amid Violent Protests and Calls for Resignation"

Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry has called for calm amid violent protests demanding his resignation, following a political agreement for elections and power transition. Henry's address did little to appease the frustrated citizens, who are angry over gang violence and deepening poverty with no elections in sight. The country failed to hold planned elections in 2019 and 2023, and Henry assumed power after the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moise. Thousands have protested, calling for Henry to step down, while the situation remains tense with ongoing violence and political unrest.
