PORT-AU-PRINCE — Interim Prime Minister Ariel Henry, already embroiled in controversy in his current role, has appointed himself as the successor to one of two ministers he fired by decree last week. The two former ministers were sanctioned after the adoption of the United Nations Resolution 2653, which accuses them of involvement in activities that threaten Haiti’s security. 

“We want to revitalize the Ministry of the Interior and Territorial Communities,” the Prime Minister said on Twitter after his installation as the new Minister of the Interior on Nov. 14. “We are counting on the collaboration of all the employees, their sense [of] duty and self-sacrifice for quality services to the population.”
