"Haiti's Transitional Council Appoints New Prime Minister Amid Gang Crisis"

Garry Conille, a U.N. development specialist and former prime minister, has been named Haiti's new prime minister by a transitional council amid ongoing gang violence in Port-au-Prince. Conille faces the challenge of addressing rampant gang control and deep poverty, with inflation at a record 29%. The council's selection process has been criticized for lack of transparency and procedural issues. Conille replaces Michel Patrick Boisvert, who served as interim prime minister after Ariel Henry's resignation.
