Patrick Oppmann, CNN Correspondent: Haiti's government on Thursday extended the state of emergency in that country for another month but it's unclear what impact if any it will have on the out of control gang violence Haiti's Prime Minister Ari Henry still continues to be missing in action as he appears to be unable to return to his own country He has not issued any public pronouncements It is believed that he remains in Puerto Rico The US has called on Henri to form a transitional government and say when elections can be held in Haiti, that is a step that Henri has resisted up until now saying the conditions are not right in Haiti to hold elections But clearly he's facing more and more pressure from inside and from outside of Haiti to get out of office, to move out of office and show what the plan of succession for Haitians will be It is unclear though how Haiti could hold elections of any kind while the security crisis continues to worsen and worsen All eyes are on a force of soldiers in Kenya One thousand troops who, their government has agreed to send them to Haiti, to take on the gangs but no update as of yet, when those troops will deploy And Haitians that I've spoken to in the capital Port Au Prince say even those who manage to stockpile food and water are running low on supplies and they say that Haitians simply cannot wait any longer for help that it has to arrive now Patrick Oppmann, CNN, Havana
