In the Caribbean island nation of Haiti, the country's security is rapidly deteriorating, with gangs attacking a prison and approximately 4,000 people believed to have escaped, and the prime minister has decided to resign in order to try to bring the situation under control. .
An emergency meeting was held in Jamaica on the 11th with the participation of countries from the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), supporting countries, and others to discuss responses to the rapidly deteriorating security situation in Haiti.
After the meeting, President Ali of Guyana, who chaired the meeting, said of Haitian Prime Minister Henri, ``He will resign after establishing a transitional government council and appointing an interim prime minister.''
In Haiti, the then-president was killed by an armed group three years ago, and Mr. Henri, who had been appointed by the president before his death, became prime minister without an election.
On the 2nd of this month, gangs attacked two of the country's largest prisons, and approximately 4,000 prisoners are believed to have escaped. The airport was also shut down following the attack, and Prime Minister Henry returned home from the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico. It was becoming impossible to do so.
Prime Minister Henri posted a video on social media about his resignation, saying, ``Haiti needs to rebuild its democratic system.I will do everything in my power to restore peace and stability to the country as soon as possible by calming all Haitians.'' "I want you to do that."
