Haitian PM Ariel Henry resigns amid gang violence.

Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry has resigned amid escalating gang violence, with a transitional presidential council to be formed to name an interim prime minister. The announcement followed an emergency meeting of regional nations in Jamaica, where leaders agreed to establish a transitional council and proposed a joint plan for Haiti's political transition. Kenya is currently planning to send 1,000 police officers to Haiti, but it remains unclear if they will still do so following Henry's resignation.
