Port-au-Prince, May 1 (RHC)-- Haiti’s new ruling, unelected transitional council has picked Fritz Bélizaire to be the country’s new prime minister. His appointment surprised many in Haiti. Some members of the transitional council admit they didn’t even know who he is.
Bélizaire had served as Haiti’s sports minister from 2006 to 2011.
Meanwhile, leaders of some of Haiti’s most powerful armed groups are demanding a greater role in Haiti’s transitional government. Over the weekend, Jimmy Chérizier, who is known as Barbecue, said: “It’s either we are all at the table, or the table gets destroyed with all of us.”
