Haiti’s Prime Minister Ariel Henry has agreed to resign after weeks of increasing gang violence. The announcement follows crisis talks between Caribbean leaders and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Haiti has been described as being at a tipping point, as armed criminal gangs overwhelm the capital.

The gangs have been demanding the prime minister’s resignation for weeks – as they unleashed deadly violence on the impoverished country. The chair of the Carribean intergovernmental organisation – Carimcom – declared that more people had been killed in Haiti this year than have been killed in the war in Ukraine.
