Haitian council names a new prime minister in the hopes of quelling stifling violence

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Haiti’s newly installed transitional council chose former Sports Minister Fritz Bélizaire as the Caribbean country’s prime minister Tuesday as it presses forward in its monumental task of trying to establish a stable new government amid stifling violence. Bélizaire replaces Michel Patrick Boisvert, the former minister of economy and finance who was the current interim prime minister.

” Council member Louis Gérald Gilles, who supported Bélizaire, told that the council wanted to act quickly in choosing a prime minister. “The Haitian population can no longer wait,” he said. “The security issue is essential for societal calm.” After the brief announcement, which was made nearly two hours after the event was supposed to start, the council went behind closed doors again to talk about their choices for Cabinet.
