How has the power vacuum in Haiti contributed to the current crisis?: The power vacuum created by the absence of a president and parliament has allowed gangs to expand their control over significant portions of Haiti, creating a lawless environment. International intervention, such as the deployment of Kenyan police officers, is underway but insufficient.
Why was Haitian Prime Minister Garry Conille removed from his position?: Haitian Prime Minister Garry Conille was ousted by the country's ruling council after less than six months in office. Conille denounced the removal as illegal, citing concerns about Haiti's future.
What are the broader implications of Conille's ousting for Haiti's future?: The ousting of Conille highlights the deep political instability and security crisis in Haiti, further complicating efforts to restore democratic order and address the humanitarian crisis. Presidential elections have not been held since 2016, further exacerbating the situation.
Who replaced Garry Conille as Prime Minister and under what circumstances?: The transitional presidential council, formed after the previous prime minister's removal by gangs, appointed Alix Didier Fils-Aime as Conille's replacement. This action occurred despite the constitution stating only parliament can remove a prime minister, and parliament is currently not functional.
What is the current state of security and humanitarian conditions in Haiti?: Haiti is currently facing a severe crisis with rampant gang violence, widespread hunger, and displacement. Over 3,600 people have been killed since January, and almost half the population lacks sufficient food.
