"There has been a fundamental change in circumstances as a result of the complete breakdown of law and order and the subsequent resignation of the PM of Haiti," Sing'oei is quoted by AFP. Since February 2024, Henry has been absent from his country after journeying to Kenya to finalize a reciprocal agreement with President William Ruto.The escalation of violence left the Prime Minister and other senior officials he had traveled with to Kenya stranded in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico.
