Haiti's political crisis escalated when a majority of the transitional council voted to remove Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé. Council members Edgard Leblanc Fils and Leslie Voltaire announced the decision, stating Fils-Aimé would be replaced within 30 days. The move defies calls from the U.S. government to maintain stability. It remains unclear if current council leader Laurent Saint-Cyr supports the dismissal, as he previously expressed opposition to undermining the government before the council's scheduled departure on February 7. The transitional council was formed to help stabilize the country amidst ongoing violence and political turmoil.
