"Armed Gangs and Deadly Violence Grip Haiti, Kenya Sends 1000 Police"

Armed gangs in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, launched coordinated attacks, killing four police officers and injuring five others, while vowing to oust Prime Minister Ariel Henry. The violence comes amid widespread civil unrest and political turmoil, with demands for Henry's resignation following the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in 2021. The United Nations has approved a plan to send a multinational force to restore peace and assist the Haitian police in regaining control of the country, as the situation continues to escalate with schools, universities, and businesses halting activities and multiple airlines canceling flights.

Haitian President's Widow Indicted in Assassination Case

The widow of Haiti’s late President Jovenel Moïse, Martine Moïse, has been indicted by a Haitian judge in connection to his 2021 assassination, accused of complicity and criminal association. The indictment alleges that she had plans to succeed her husband shortly after his assassination and had inconsistencies in her account of the attack. However, the indictment fails to provide direct evidence of her involvement. Former Prime Minister Claude Joseph and former chief of Haiti’s National Police, Léon Charles, also face severe charges, while many of the accused claim that the current Prime Minister Ariel Henry is using the court as a political weapon. Haiti has been plagued by unrest and violence since the assassination, with the country still without a president or other elected official at the national level.
