Haiti's Interim PM Ousted by Transitional Council as Violence, Humanitarian Crisis Worsens
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haiti's transitional council announced it's ousting interim Prime
Minister Garry Conille after six months in the position, a move labeled
by Conille as "illegal" and which is likely to further destabilize the
country. The former U.N. official had been expected to see Haiti through
its long-awaited election for a new president. The council named
businessman Alix Didier Fils-Aimé as the new interim prime minister.
Fils-Aimé is a businessman, former Senate candidate and son of the
prominent Haitian activist Alix Fils-Aimé.

The political shakeup comes amid worsening gang violence and a dire
humanitarian crisis in Haiti. On Friday, the U.N. warned famine is
spreading to new areas as an international, Kenyan-led security force
struggles to contain the bloodshed.
