New government named in Haiti

1

Haiti has unveiled a new government, two months after  prime minister Jack Guy Lafontant, resigned following days of violent protests against fuel price rises.

Jean-Henry Ceant,

The unrest started after the government unveiled a proposal to remove fuel subsidies. At least four people were killed with shops and buildings burnt and looted.

The authorities said that the new the new administration, headed by new Prime Minister Jean-Henry Ceant, will have as its first task to calm socio-economic malaise in the French-speaking Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country.
