Ariel Henry, Disputed Prime Minister of Haiti, Resigns

Ariel Henry, a renowned doctor but controversial political leader who resigned on Monday, became prime minister of Haiti after the 2021 assassination of president Jovenel Moise, but never managed to put an end to the violence and chaos in his country.

Moise selected Henry for the post just two days before he was killed by a group of mostly Colombian mercenaries.

Henry, 74, studied medicine in France and made a name for himself in Haiti as a neurologist.

During his medical career, he headed the neurosurgery department of one of Haiti’s most renowned private hospitals and taught in state universities in Port-au-Prince, only entering politics late in life.
