Haitian Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe announced his resignation yesterday, along with several ministers, in the wake of violent anti-government protests and a commission’s call for him to step down.
Mr Lamothe claimed to be leaving “with a sense of accomplishment,” adding: “This country has undergone a deep and dynamic transformation and a real change in benefit of its people.”
President Michel Martelly said earlier that he had accepted the findings of the commission that had recommended Mr Lamothe’s replacement. Mr Martelly appointed Mr Lamothe as prime minister in 2012.
Haitian capital Port-Au-Prince has endured a growing number of violent demonstrations in recent weeks during which protesters have demanded the holding of elections — expected in 2011 — and the resignations of both Mr Lamothe and Mr Martelly.
