Caribbean leaders met embattled Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry on Sunday to talk about his country’s unrelenting gang violence, with one top official noting that his continued presence as head of government remains a main stumbling block to progress.

Bahamian Foreign Minister Fred Mitchell told The Associated Press that opposition leaders and other groups in Haiti oppose Mr Henry as prime minister, even as the regional trade bloc known as Caricom keeps trying to help change the country’s situation.
