Haiti’s Prime Minister Sacks Interior Ministers

Haiti’s acting Prime Minister; Ariel Henry has sacked the country’s justice and interior ministers, along with its government commissioner.

Former Justice Minister, Berto Dorce, first dismissed Government Commissioner Jacques Lafontant, on Henry’s orders before being removed himself days later along with Interior Minister Liszt Quitel.

This comes after a new round of political upheaval that comes under the shadow of international sanctions.

The Caribbean nation has seen soaring violence and instability as increasingly powerful criminal gangs have been battling for control in the political vacuum created by Jovenel Moise’s assassination.
