"Haiti's Leader Resigns Amid Rampant Gang Violence and Multinational Force Deployment"

Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry has resigned amid mounting chaos and gang violence in Haiti, announcing the formation of a transitional council to pave the way for a peaceful transition of power and elections. The Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM) has also agreed to set up a transitional council. Gangs, which now control 80% of the capital, have been attacking government structures, leading to a state of emergency declaration and a prison break. The United Nations estimates that 5.5 million Haitians are in need of humanitarian assistance, with 1 million children out of school and at risk of being recruited by gangs. The situation has been described as "untenable" by the UN's human rights chief, who called for a multinational security mission to be deployed to assist the Haitian police.
