A new prime minister has taken office in Haiti as part of efforts to restore order to the troubled nation. Garry Conille, a U.N. development specialist, arrived in the Caribbean country to assume his role following his appointment by a transitional council. Conille, who previously served as Haiti's prime minister from October 2011 to May 2012, brings a wealth of experience to the position.
Upon his arrival in the capital, Port-au-Prince, Conille met with the outgoing interim prime minister to discuss the transition of power. His appointment comes at a critical time for Haiti, as gang violence continues to plague parts of the country, including the capital.
Conille's tenure as prime minister coincides with the anticipated deployment of a U.N.-backed police force from Kenya and other countries. This international support is expected to help address the security challenges facing Haiti and pave the way for a more stable and secure environment.
Haiti, which shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic, faces numerous socio-economic and political challenges. The appointment of Conille as prime minister signals a renewed commitment to addressing these issues and steering the country towards a path of progress and development.
