Haiti's Transitional Council names Prime Minister

By James Blears

New Prime Minister Garry Conille says he`s honored to be chosen for this responsibility and his aim is to seek national unity. He pledges to work for a better tomorrow. Today is bleak and stark, blighted by an unholy coalition of street gangs terrorizing Haiti, especially its Capital, Port Au Prince, where mob rule holds destabilising sway. The fragile thread of governance frayed and snapped, following the 2021 assassination of President Juvenal Moise by Colombian mercenaries. 

New PM's experience

To take on this awesome responsibility, Garry has resigned as the Regional Director of Unicef. His other qualifications on a CV geared towards tackling an SOS, are a previous stint as Prime Minister from October 2011 to May of the following year. He also worked as Chief of Staff for former US President Bill Clinton, who was Special Envoy for Haiti.

Return to democracy

Garry will need to dare as well as care,  in what he does as Prime Minister.  He and his team together with the Transitional Council, need to prepare Haiti for a Presidential Election within the next two years. Mayhem has to be overcome and democracy has to find a way to replace it, for Haiti`s desperate people to have any opportunity to live normal and decent lives.
