Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry has resigned, paving the way for an unelected transitional council to temporarily govern Haiti as the nation faces a worsening humanitarian and security crisis. On the streets of Haiti, locals remained skeptical.

Patrice Agenor: “We want to know if this council can fight the gangs, if they can win back security, because, personally, I want to be able to go back to Port-au-Prince. If they can’t fight the gangs, then I’m going to face them. I’m going to become their enemy. They got two missions: elections and security. But security comes first.”

U.N. chief António Guterres on Thursday called for the swift deployment of a multinational security mission as the transitional government is installed.
