PORT-AU-PRINCE- In the midst of demonstrations demanding his resignation, Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry appeared relieved this week after the United Nations unanimously voted in favor of deploying the multinational armed force he has been pleading to send since October. 

Arriving at Toussaint Louverture International Airport lounge July 19 after a series of meetings abroad, Henry appeared relieved as he spoke in a televised briefing about the UN decision. He took credit for the effort, having spent months begging for the deployment of the armed forces. Henry emphasized that the decision-making process involved numerous discussions and negotiations, culminating in a “promise” he fulfilled.
