UNITED NATIONS development specialist Garry Conille was named Haiti’s new prime minister on Tuesday evening.

The long-awaited move comes as gangs continue to terrorise the capital of Port-au-Prince, opening fire in once peaceful neighbourhoods and using heavy machinery to demolish several police stations and prisons.
