"Haiti's Descent into Lawlessness: Gangs, Violence, and Political Turmoil"

In the midst of gang-controlled chaos in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, the streets are littered with uncollected corpses, leaving residents to deal with the stench and disposal of bodies themselves. With violent armed gangs controlling over 80% of the city, the absence of a functioning state has led to widespread terror, including systematic rape, indiscriminate kidnapping, and mass killings. The recent attacks on prisons and the absence of a clear government leadership have exacerbated the crisis, prompting calls for an expedited transition of power to address the humanitarian and public safety crisis.
