Why it matters
A nine‑member Transitional Presidential Council transferred executive authority to 54‑year‑old Alix Didier Fils‑Aime. The transfer took place under tight security in Port‑au‑Prince on 7 February 2026. The United States announced visa revocations for four unidentified council members and a cabinet minister. Fewer than 1,000 personnel, mostly Kenyan police, have been deployed of a UN‑approved force that has a 5,500‑troop target.
