Gang attacks force Haiti's prime minister to resign. Ariel Henry went to Kenya late last month to ensure that it leads an international security mission.
But the significant escalation in violence in the capital, Puerto Princesa, during his absence left him stranded in Puerto Rico, USA. Henry's resignation comes after the region's leaders met on Monday in neighboring Jamaica to discuss a framework for a political transition. The United States called last week to "accelerate" by establishing a presidential council.
