HAITI’S transitionary council signed an “illegal” decree on Sunday sacking unelected interim prime minister Garry Conille and replacing him with business leader Alix Didier Fils-Aime.
Mr Conille’s dismissal brought even more turmoil to an already rocky democratic transition for Haiti, which hasn’t held democratic elections for years.
Mr Fils-Aime is a former president of Haiti’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry and in 2015 ran an unsuccessful campaign for a seat in the Senate.
