Fresh turmoil in setting up Haiti's transitional council
FRESH turmoil involving a transitional presidential council that will be responsible for choosing Haiti’s new leader triggered a flurry of activity between Caribbean leaders and officials from the United States, Canada and France, officials said on Monday.
The council has yet to be sworn in given concerns over the security of its members, a regional official who was not authorised to talk to the media told reporters on condition of anonymity.
The official is based in Guyana, which serves as headquarters for the regional trade bloc known as Caricom that is helping create the transitional council.
