Transitional Council in Haiti Picks New Prime Minister, Replacing Official Picked Weeks Ago
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haiti's unelected transitional council has named Garry Conille to be
Haiti's new prime minister, just a month after some members of the
council picked a different official for the job. Conille briefly served
as Haiti's prime minister over 10 years ago and had been working as a
development specialist at UNICEF. The transitional council was formed
after Ariel Henry agreed to resign as prime minister amid an uprising by
armed groups.
