Haiti's gang crisis
How competing gangs are carving up Haiti鈥檚 capital, Port-au-Prince.
Since Haiti鈥檚 devastating earthquake in 2010, the country has been in turmoil. Some 200 gangs have taken control in the absence of a functioning state, with murder, kidnapping and rape becoming commonplace. President Jovenel Mo茂se was assassinated in 2021 and there doesn鈥檛 seem to be an end in sight to the violence.
Harold Isaac, a Port-au-Prince based journalist, explains how Haiti has descended to this point, and if there鈥檚 any hope of a more stable future for the country.
