"Gangs' Reign of Terror: The Unfolding Crisis in Haiti"

Gangs in Haiti have launched massive attacks on police stations, paralyzing the country and leaving it with dwindling supplies of basic goods. Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who is currently in Kenya, has been unable to return to Port-au-Prince as armed gangs seek his ouster. Caribbean leaders have called for an emergency meeting to address Haiti's dire situation and have invited international stakeholders to participate. Efforts to broker a solution and form a unity government have been unsuccessful, with the situation on the ground remaining dire. The US and Kenya have underscored their commitment to a multinational security mission to restore order in Haiti, but legal wrangling has effectively placed the mission on hold.
