UN chief appoints new head of Haiti mission
None
Chile's former foreign minister is the new UN envoy to Haiti. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced Monday that Mariano Fernandez will replace Edmond Mulet as head of the seven-year-old international peacekeeping force at the end of May.
Mulet took the job after his predecessor, Hedi Annabi, died in the 2010 earthquake. Fernandez inherits a military force of more than 12,000 soldiers and police that has come under increasing criticism as the Caribbean nation struggles to rebuild. (AP)
