New Haiti Prime Minister Garry Conille Hospitalized Amidst Ongoing Gang Violence and Crisis

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti – On June 3, 2024, Garry Conille was sworn in as the new Prime Minister of Haiti. However, just a few days into his tenure, he was hospitalized for an undisclosed condition. According to reports from various sources,

Gang violence continues to plague Haiti with approximately 60% of hospitals in the capital city's metropolitan area having closed due to gang activity. Pharmacies are looted and burned, forcing doctors to stay home on some days, putting lives at risk.

In recent years, more than 360,000 people have been forced from their homes due to gang violence in Haiti. Gangs control key routes from the capital city and often paralyze the transportation of critical goods. The security crisis has led to a record-breaking inflation rate of 29%.

Conille's predecessor, Ariel Henry, was forced to resign in April following coordinated attacks by gangs that seized police stations, raided prisons and fired on the nation's main international airport while he was on an official trip to Kenya. The Haitian government is now awaiting the U.N.-backed deployment of a police force from Kenya and other countries.

Conille arrived in Haiti on June 1 after being selected as the nation's new prime minister, having previously worked outside the country as UNICEF's regional director for Latin America and the Caribbean. In a video published on YouTube, Conille expressed his concern for people who need access to hospitals and healthcare due to widespread violence in Haiti.

On June 9, 2024, Conille was admitted to the hospital after spending a night in treatment. He appeared in good spirits when he was discharged and expressed hope that a government could be in place by early next week.

    The author makes an appeal to authority by mentioning the UN's past missions in Haiti and the number of troops involved. However, this does not necessarily mean that the current mission will be successful or free of fallacies. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by quoting gang leaders warning of a 'massacre'. This is an attempt to evoke fear and emotion in the reader, but it does not provide any evidence or logical reasoning.
    • The first time the UN carried out a similar mission in Haiti to restore peace was in 1994 and had over 1,200 members.
    • Mr Jimmy Cherizier alias Barbecue warns that they will face a 'massacre'.
  • Bias (95%)
    The author expresses a negative opinion towards the UN and its peacekeeping missions in Haiti by mentioning past incidents of sexual abuse and the cholera outbreak. This is an example of monetary bias as the author is implying that these incidents reflect poorly on the UN's ability to effectively carry out peacekeeping missions, potentially tarnishing their reputation and financial standing.
    • A total of 820,000 cases were recorded. Haiti was in February 2022 declared cholera free and, to this day, is seeking justice for the epidemic. A study conducted by French epidemiologist Renaud Piarroux established that UN troops from Nepal, rather than environmental factors, had caused the epidemic as waste from outhouses at their base flowed into and contaminated River Artibonite.
      • There are very serious issues that have been raised not only locally but also internationally on whether Kenyan police officers respect human rights. It is publicly known that they abuse the rights of people and are left to walk free.
