Haiti's transition council on Tuesday tapped former Prime Minister Garry Conille, who briefly led the country over a decade ago, to return to the role as the Caribbean nation works to restore stability and take back control from violent gangs.
The transition council voted 6-1 to install Conille as interim prime minister, a member told Reuters.
