Haiti's new PM Conille says leaders are putting aside differences
==========
Haiti's new interim Prime Minister Garry Conille said members of the new administration were setting aside their differences to work for the good of the country. The country is battling a devastating crisis fueled by gang wars, which has forced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes and closed major ports, cutting off key supplies of food, medicine, and aid. Conille spoke at a swearing-in event in Port-au-Prince, the capital, and mentioned that the first instruction the transition council members gave was that they have no time to lose. The transition council, which consists of nine members, was sworn in over a month ago, and Conille was named as the new Prime Minister recently. His predecessor, Ariel Henry, resigned three months ago while stranded in Puerto Rico. The transition council will now focus on choosing the new cabinet and facilitating the deployment of Kenyan police to help battle the gangs. The absence of female representation among the council's voting members and those interviewed for the prime minister's job has been criticized by Haitian feminist groups, who are urging the new administration to include women in government.
