Haiti PM sworn in amid chaos as a US airliner encounters gunfire, highlighting ongoing security concerns in the country.
Businessman Alix Didier Fils-Aime was sworn in as Haiti’s new prime minister on Monday as a gun attack on a passenger jet at the capital's airport underscored the utter breakdown in law and order in the Caribbean country.
He said he was aware of Haiti's"difficult circumstances" but promised to put"all of my energy, my skills and my patriotism at the service of the national cause." One flight attendant suffered minor injuries and was being evaluated by medical staff, the airline said in a statement, while images posted online appeared to show several bullet holes inside the cabin.The airport in Port-au-Prince has grounded all commercial flights, the Miami Herald reported, while American Airlines announced it was suspending its service between Miami and the Haitian capital until Thursday.
He has questioned the authority of the council to sack him, and the row threatens to create more instability in Haiti which has been without a president since the assassination of leader Jovenel Moise in 2021.The Caribbean nation has long struggled with political instability, poverty, natural disasters and gang violence.
"It's not for the Secretary General to choose who will be the prime minister of Haiti," said spokesman Stephane Dujarric."What is important is that Haitian political leaders put the interests of Haiti first and foremost."
