The new Haitian Cabinet was sworn in Monday (January 19, 2015) as President Michel Martelly will now run the troubled country without a parliament. A total of 20 ministers and more than a dozen secretaries of state were named and installed in a ceremony at the National Palace.

While President Michel Martelly has sworn in his brand new cabinet, those of the opposition who haven't been placated by the new changes to the political playing field have vowed to continue the protests that call for his immediate resignation. The President began his run in 2011 and is still in office following three years of suspended elections. He is set to leave office next year, but until then, seeing as the term for parliament members passed without a renewal, he will have until that time, free reign, ruling by Presidential decree.
