Gangs have advanced into new areas of Port-au-Prince, the Haitian capital, the UN special coordinator announced Thursday. The United States announced that it had evacuated 90 of its nationals on Thursday thanks to a specially chartered plane.
A future presidential transitional council, which must notably be composed of representatives of Haitian political parties, was announced at the end of the meeting. Haiti currently remains without a president or parliament: the last head of state, Jovenel Moïse, was assassinated in 2021. The country has not had any elections since 2016.
