Fresh turmoil involving a transitional presidential council that will be responsible for choosing Haiti’s new leader triggered a flurry of meetings with Caribbean leaders and officials from the U.S., Canada and France, officials said Monday. The council has yet to be sworn in given concerns over the security of its members, among other things, a regional official who was not authorized to talk to the media told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
” Dupuy was quickly replaced, bringing the council back up to its full nine members, seven of which have voting powers, but they have yet to be sworn in. It wasn’t immediately clear when the council would be formally announced, with another meeting scheduled Monday between its members and officials with Caricom. Officials are hoping rampant gang violence will subside once the council selects a new leader for Haiti and appoints a council of ministers.
