"Haiti's Escalating Crisis: Gangs Target Port-au-Prince Airport and Government"

TL;DR Summary
Armed gangs in Haiti are attempting to prevent the return of Prime Minister Ariel Henry by attacking the international airport in Port-au-Prince. The gangs, led by former police officer Jimmy "Barbecue" Chérizier, have escalated violence in the capital, resulting in clashes with security forces, attacks on police stations, and the freeing of thousands of prisoners. The airport has been closed, and soldiers have been deployed to defend it. The situation has led to widespread displacement and a lack of basic services for residents.
