Recall
For three weeks now, Haiti has been gripped by a bandit uprising by heavily armed groupswho claim to want to overthrow Prime Minister Ariel Henry.
Last week, Henry agreed to step down to allow for the formation of an interim government, under pressure from neighboring Caribbean countries, including the United States.
The situation remains difficult. Several countries, including the United States and European Union member states, have evacuated diplomatic personnel from Haiti in response to the crisis.
