Haiti sees in new Prime Minister amidst unrest

Haiti's President Jovenel Moise swore in a new Prime Minister on Wednesday. Prime Minister Joseph Jouthe became Moise's fourth prime minister in three years, by presidential decree. The move has raised the anger of Moise's critics for his failure to get parliamentary backing to the new appointment. previously, Jouthe had been the country's environment minister and finance minister. President Moise has been ruling by decree since January after the country failed to hold legislative elections.

The opposition has rejected his calls for a power-sharing agreement. The political crisis has cut the country of 11.2 million people off from some international funding, further hindering its ability to respond to the worsening economic woes.
