Haiti: CARICOM Holds Emergency Meeting as Calls Grow for Ariel Henry to Resign

HeadlineMar 11, 2024

Caribbean leaders are holding an emergency meeting in Jamaica today to discuss the political and humanitarian crisis in Haiti, where armed groups are attempting to force the resignation of Haiti’s unelected Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who has long been a U.S. ally. Henry has been stranded in Puerto Rico since last week, unable to return home as increasing violence has left Haitians struggling to secure food and water. Over the weekend, the U.S. flew a team of marines into Haiti as the security situation around the U.S. Embassy deteriorated. Nonessential staff at the embassy were airlifted out of the country. We will have more on Haiti after headlines.
