Haiti’s new PM Conille says leaders are putting aside differences

Haiti’s new interim Prime Minister Garry Conille said on Monday members of the new administration were setting aside their differences to work for the good of the country, which is battling a devastating crisis fuelled by gang wars.
Fighting among gangs in the capital has forced hundreds of thousands from their homes while closing major ports, cutting off key supplies of food, medicine and aid, intensifying a food crisis that has plunged millions into hunger.
“We are going through an interesting moment for the Haitian people, a moment of political groups putting aside their differences for the interest of the nation,” Conille told a swearing-in event in Port-au-Prince, the capital.
“The first instruction the transition council members gave was that we have no time to lose,” added the leader, until recently a regional director at U.N. children’s agency UNICEF.
