"Haiti's Escalating Crisis: Gangs, Jailbreaks, and Turmoil"

TL;DR Summary
Haiti is in a state of emergency after gangs attacked prisons, releasing thousands of inmates, and the country's de facto prime minister is not in the country. Gangs have formed an alliance and are openly challenging the government, with the potential to become the dominant force in Haiti. The prime minister's absence and focus on a military solution have led to a reliance on a Kenyan-led mission to address the crisis, as the country faces a critical moment with the potential collapse of its institutions.
