Haiti forms new government as gang violence persists


A new government has been formed in Haiti as it tries to restore order in the violence-ravaged nation.


The new cabinet completely replaces all the ministers from the government of the former Prime Minister, Ariel Henry, who was forced to step down earlier this year by gangs which control large parts of Haiti.


The announcement of the new cabinet comes two weeks after the country's transitional government council appointed Garry Conille as interim prime minister.


He will also take on the role of interior minister, according to the decree, published in Haiti's official gazette.


The formation of a cabinet in Haiti is a further sign of efforts to bring back some political stability to a nation wracked by violence and uncertainty for many months.


The transitional council appointed people to all the key cabinet positions and their ministers, a spokeswoman confirmed.
