Rising Gang Violence Plunges Haiti into Chaos

TL;DR Summary
Gang violence in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, escalated as gunmen looted upscale neighborhoods, leaving bodies strewn in the streets and forcing residents to flee. Despite Prime Minister Ariel Henry's announcement of resignation, the gangs continue their attacks, with some attributing the violence to political power struggles. Efforts to establish a transitional council and deploy a UN-backed police force are hindered by political disputes, while the government extends a nighttime curfew in an attempt to curb the relentless violence.
