Council responsible for paving the way for elections names Edgard Leblanc Fils as its president and proposes former sports minister Fritz Bélizaire as interim prime minister.
A transitional council responsible for choosing Haiti’s next leadership has named one of its members as council president and proposed a new interim prime minister amid efforts to control the gang violence in the Caribbean nation.
Still to come are the tasks of appointing a new head of government and a cabinet; coordinating the arrival of a multinational security force to reclaim the capital; and eventually holding long-overdue elections. But Haiti’s gangs maintain they deserve a seat at the negotiating table. One of the gangs’ leaders, Vitel’homme Innocent, told CNN recently that if the gangs do not get a seat, they would try other means.
