Prime Minister Ariel Henry har annonceret sin afgang efter uger med kaos i Haiti, hvor bander har hærget. #Haiti #ArielHenry #Bander

Haitis premierminister Ariel Henry har meddelt, at han vil træde tilbage efter uger med stigende kaos i det caribiske land. Den belejrede leder er enig i at fratræde, når der er installeret et overgangsråd og udnævnt en midlertidig premierminister. Ariel Henry offentliggjorde en video, hvor han lovede at afgå som premierminister, mens han var fanget i Puerto Rico. Bevæbnede grupper, især G9-alliancen af bander under Jimmy "Barbecue" Chérizier, har plaget det haitiske folk med næsten total skræk. USA's regering har netop fremsendt sin plan for at hjælpe Haiti til toprepublikanerne i Kongressen i et forsøg på at overbevise dem om at droppe en blokering af 40 dollars støtte.

Den mindeværdige handling fra Ariel Henry kommer, da Haiti står over for voldsom vold ledet af bander, hvilket har bragt nationen på randen af kollaps. Landets primære lufthavne er blevet lukket på grund af volden, hvilket har forhindret Henry i at vende tilbage til Haiti. Situationen i Haiti er yderst ustabil med banderelaterede voldshandlinger, plyndringer og generel utryghed, der præger befolkningen. Ariel Henrys beslutning om at træde tilbage har yderligere forværret den allerede vanskelige situation i landet. Prime Ministrens beslutning om at forlade sin stilling kommer efter gentagne trusler fra væbnede grupper, der har terroriseret befolkningen og skabt en atmosfære af frygt. Landet står over for en udfordrende vej fremad, da det kæmper med intern uro og ustabilitet, der har ført til alvorlige konsekvenser for befolkningen.
