Haiti has officially established a transitional council aimed at selecting the country's next prime minister and cabinet amidst escalating gang violence, after a month's delay. The decree, issued by the government, formalizes the creation of a nine-member Presidential Transition Council, which includes two non-voting members. This move comes after weeks of uncertainty and violence, marking a significant step towards restoring order and paving the way for a new president. The council's formation, expected to trigger Prime Minister Ariel Henry's promised resignation, is seen as a crucial step in addressing the turmoil that has gripped the nation, with supporters hopeful it will help quell the unrest. The U.S. has expressed its commitment to supporting Haiti through the swift, expedited deployment of a Multinational Security Support mission and backing Haitian-led efforts towards a democratically elected government.
