Haiti prison set alight in fresh outbreak of violence as US evacuates citizens

Embattled Prime Minister Ariel Henry agreed to resign on March 12 amid the growing unrest.

Mr Henry is currently stranded in Puerto Rico.

He has not been allowed back into Haiti since he flew to Guyana and Kenya in late January, where he signed a deal on the deployment of an international security force to help tackle the violence.

He said his government would resign following the “installation of (a transition) council.”

“I’m asking all Haitians to remain calm and do everything they can for peace and stability to come back as fast as possible,” he said in a video address announcing his resignation.
