"Unrest and Uncertainty: The Ongoing Crisis in Haiti"

TL;DR Summary
Haiti is in a state of chaos with no effective leadership, as gangs continue to rampage across the capital Port-au-Prince, shooting at the airport and looting the house of the national police director. The country has been effectively cut off from the outside world, with a dwindling supply of humanitarian aid. Prominent gang leaders have rejected a political transition plan, threatening more violence, while Haitians express feelings of abandonment and desolation, calling for new leadership and elections to address the longstanding poverty and neglect in the country.
