Haitian PM Ariel Henry Says He Survived Assassination Attempt

HeadlineJan 04, 2022

Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry said Monday he was forced to flee the northern city of Gonaïves on New Year’s Day after his convoy came under fire from members of a criminal gang. The gunfire reportedly left one person dead and two others injured. Human rights groups estimate criminal gangs control over half of Haiti’s territory, filling a power vacuum left behind by the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in July and a devastating earthquake in August.
