HAITI REMAINS IN A STATE OF CRISIS AFTER HAITIAN PRIME MINISTER ARIEL HENRY RESIGNED MONDAYAS THE COUNTRY HAS BEEN OVERTAKEN BY RAMPANT GANG VIOLENCE
HENRY VOWS TO REMAIN UNTIL AN INTERIM GOVERNMENT IS ESTABLISHED BUT, SO FAR, HE REMAINS IN PUERTO RICO UNABLE TO RETURN SAFELY TO THE TROUBLED ISLAND
CNN'S PAULA NEWTON HAS UPDATES

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS--
Paula Newton, CNN: This resignation was days in the making as political factions had warned that Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry would have to step down if a new political compromise could be brokered now Well, the Prime Minister has resigned He said he would only officially step down once a transitional presidential council could be formed and a new interim Prime Minister appointed I want you to listen now to how leaders at CARICOM – a regional bloc – what they said about this resignation assuming, they hope, that it paves the way for a peaceful transition in Haiti Listen”

Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali, Head of CARICOM: “We are pleased to announce a commitment to a transitional governance arrangement which paves the way for a peaceful transition of power, continuity of governance, an action plan for near-term security and the road to free and fair elections It further seeks to assure that Haiti will be governed by the rule of law This commitment reflects hard compromises among a diverse coalition of actors who have put their country above all differences To that end, we acknowledge the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry upon the establishment of a transitional Presidential Council and the naming of an interim Prime Minister”

Paula Newton, CNN: Meantime Henry does remain in Puerto Rico essentially stranded, unable to guarantee his safety if he does try and return to Haiti Now, a peaceful transition is still quite a challenge As you can imagine, gang leaders there they continue to spar with each other, but they are also saying that they must share in political power and they are rejecting the idea of any international interference including the expected arrival of Kenyan police who are supposed to arrive to try and reestablish order Now, in the meantime, gang violence continues to hamper access in Haiti by air, land and sea And aid agencies are warning that the country will run out of key medicine, food and supplies in a few weeks if the political situation is not resolved Paul Newton, CNN, Atlanta
