"Haiti's Ongoing Crisis: Gang Attacks Plunge Parts into Darkness and Spark Political Dilemma"

Armed groups in Haiti attacked several electrical stations, leaving parts of the capital, Port-au-Prince, in darkness by stealing equipment and documents. The country's power company, EDH, reported that four substations and the Varreux Power Plant were "completely dysfunctional" due to the vandalism. The attacks come amid rising political tension and violence, with armed groups escalating murders, rapes, and kidnappings since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021. The current crisis adds to Haiti's ongoing recovery from past natural disasters, including the devastating earthquakes in 2010 and 2021.
