There is relative calm in violence-hit Haiti after Ariel Henry announced he would resign as the prime minister. After the announcement aproposal was put up to install a new government in theCaribbean nation. However, the planappeared to be crumbling on Wednesday (Mar 13) as some political parties rejected the proposal to create a presidential council that would manage the transition.
According to a report by the news agency Associated Press, former senatorJean Charles Moïse told reporters that he rejected theproposed council backed by the international community which would select an interim prime minister and a council of ministers.
Moïse insisted that a three-person presidential council he recently created with former rebel leader Guy Philippe and a Haitian judge should be implemented.
Philippe, who helped lead a successful revolt in 2004 against former president Jean-Bertrand Aristide, said on Tuesday that no Haitian shouldaccept any proposal from the international community.
He accused the community of beingcomplicit with Haiti’s elite and corrupt politicians and urged citizens to take to the streets. Some other high-profile politicians who rejected the proposal includedHimmler Rébu, a former colonel of the country's army.
