Haiti’s main international airport faced a terrifying attack by heavily armed gangs, engaging in gunfire with police and soldiers. This incident is part of a wave of violence that includes a mass prison escape. The airport, closed at the time, saw an armored truck shooting at gangs to prevent them from entering the premises. Meanwhile, the police academy was also attacked by armed gangs. The situation worsened as the country’s prime minister was absent during the crisis, traveling to various countries without a set return date. A state of emergency and curfew were declared, but the violence continued to escalate. Gangs, controlling up to 80% of the capital, targeted critical infrastructure, including the Central Bank. The United Nations expressed deep concern over the deteriorating security situation, urging urgent action to prevent further chaos. The surge in violence led to the escape of thousands of inmates, raising fears for the safety of civilians and officials. The U.S. Embassy advised American citizens to leave the country as soon as possible. The Biden administration, while offering support, refrained from deploying troops. The situation remains tense as the government struggles to restore order amidst the ongoing violence.
