"Haiti's Prime Minister Commits to Resignation Amid Ongoing Gang Violence"

Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry has agreed to resign once a transitional presidential council is established and a new interim prime minister is appointed, following mounting pressure from stakeholders and criminal gangs. The regional bloc Caricom brokered a deal for a peaceful transition of power, announcing Henry's resignation before he did. The agreement includes the formation of a transitional council comprising major political parties in Haiti, with the exclusion of gangs. The United Nations has welcomed the political transition agreement, while the United States pledged increased support for a multinational security mission in Haiti. However, questions remain about whether Henry's resignation will appease the gangs, and Haitians remain cautious about the latest resolution holding.
