Story summary
- Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé takes power in Haiti as transitional presidential council resigns after failing to curb rampant gang violence.
- The council's two-year rule was marked by insecurity, corruption, and food shortages.
- The United States backs Fils-Aimé, urging stability and elections, which have not occurred since 2016.
- Gangs control about 90% of Port-au-Prince, fueling violence and displacement, and elections later this year seem unlikely amid instability.
