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.
