Canada is welcoming the news that Ariel Henry, Haiti’s unelected prime minister, has agreed to leave office as Caribbean leaders scramble to find ways to help stabilize a country overrun by gang violence.

Following months of pressure from Ottawa, Washington, and leaders from across the Caribbean, Mr. Henry announced early on Mar. 12 that he would resign once a transitional presidential council is created.
