Haiti's power shift: New leader steps in as country seeks stability
Haitiʼs transitional council makes sudden leadership change by replacing interim Prime Minister. The move adds new dynamics to Haitiʼs path towards rebuilding its democratic structure
In a swift-moving political change Haitiʼs transitional council has made a key decision about its temporary leadership. The council signed papers to remove Garry Conille from his interim Prime Minister role‚ putting Alix Didier Fils-Aimé (a well-known business-person) in charge of the position
The change-over document which comes into effect 11/11/24 shows how Haitiʼs path to democracy isnt going smoothly. The Caribbean nation – dealing with wide-spread security problems – hasnt been able to run proper voting events in recent time. Gang-related issues have made it hard to organize basic government tasks
The selection of Fils-Aimé brings fresh eyes to Haitiʼs problems: he was actually on the short-list for this job before. His business know-how might help with day-to-day running of things‚ but the road ahead looks bumpy – especially since regular democratic processes have been on hold due to safety worries in the streets of Port-au-Prince and beyond
