New Leadership Council Established to Restore Order in Violence-Plagued Haiti

After the Prime Minister of Haiti resigned, a new transition council was established to restore public order in a country plagued by gang violence. The majority of council members chose Edgard Leblanc Fils as the president, who will play a coordinating role within the body to address the challenges facing the nation. Fritz Bélizaire was also suggested as the Prime Minister by many members of the council during an official ceremony broadcast on television. Frinel Joseph, a non-voting member of the council, promised further details on this proposal at a later time.

The decision to appoint a new president came after an agreement among the seven voting members rather than through an internal election as previously planned. Despite initial complications and changes in plans, successful negotiations and agreements between different stakeholders allowed for the establishment of the council. It took several weeks of discussions and negotiations to establish the council due to disagreements among political parties, stakeholders, and the outgoing government. Now, with a new leadership structure in place, the council aims to address urgent issues facing Haiti and work towards stability and progress.
