Plans crumble for new leadership in Haiti
A PLAN to install new leadership regime in Haiti appeared to be crumbling on Wednesday as some political parties rejected the plan to create a presidential council that would manage the transition.
The panel would be responsible for selecting an interim prime minister and a council of ministers that would attempt to chart a new path for the Caribbean country that has been over-run by gangs.
The violence has closed schools and businesses and disrupted daily life across Haiti.
