Who is leading Haiti today?

Haiti has no president or elected officials. Instead, an expensive nine-member presidential council holds power without oversight or accountability.

And how did the council handled the gangs? Damn it's sad to see this country goes basically unnoticed and without help.
Interesting to hear news from the smaller countries too. Thanks for sharing!
Very challenging situation. To me seems like the thing to focus on is lack of electoral legitimacy. Maybe I'm using the wrong frame of reference coming from a larger country, but $8 million a year for a country's leadership expenses doesn't seem overly expensive. But I do understand being mad to spend any money on people who haven't been chosen by the country's citizens.
