HAITI’S unelected Prime Minister Ariel Henry announced today that he would resign from his post once a transitional presidential council is created.

Mr Henry made the announcement hours after officials, including Caribbean leaders and the United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken, met in Jamaica to urgently discuss a solution to halt Haiti’s spiralling crisis and agreed to a joint proposal to impose a transitional council on Haiti.

“The government that I’m running cannot remain insensitive in this situation. There is no sacrifice that is too big for our country,” Mr Henry said in a videotaped statement.
