"Escalating Violence in Haiti: Challenges and Alternatives to Foreign Intervention"

Ernst Julme, a gang leader associated with Jimmy "Barbeque" Cherizier's criminal alliance in Haiti, was killed by police in Port-au-Prince, following his recent escape from custody. This comes after two other suspected gang members were killed and set on fire in an apparent act of vigilante justice. The UN Security Council condemned the violence and illicit flow of arms into Haiti, while the U.S. State Department has evacuated over 160 Americans from the country due to the ongoing instability.
