CNN —The US has called for “urgent” movement toward a political transition in Haiti, as gangs run amok in the nation’s capital and opposition groups demand Prime Minister Ariel Henry’s resignation.
Henry landed in Puerto Rico on Tuesday after days of speculation about his whereabouts.
US officials had called Henry mid-flight in an effort to persuade him to step aside in favor of a transitional administration, the report said.
Ahead of the meeting, the UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk urged the international community to “act swiftly and decisively to prevent Haiti’s further descent into chaos.”“This situation is beyond untenable for the people of Haiti,” he said.
“We are simply running out of time.”This is a developing story and will be updated.
