Gang warfare plunges Haiti's capital into crisis • FRANCE 24 English

Sunday's major prison break in the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince, in which gangs allowed thousands of inmates to escape, has plunged the country even deeper into chaos. Authorities declared a state of emergency and curfew in the capital, 80 percent of which is controlled by criminal gangs. Since the shock assassination of President Jovenel Moise in 2021, the country has been mired in a political crisis, which has in turn led to a security and humanitarian disaster. Amid a brutal turf war between gangs, more than 13 people are killed every day. Our colleagues at France 2 report, with FRANCE 24's Lauren Bain. #Haiti #Port-au-Prince #gangs Read more about this story in our article: https://f24.my/AAqe.y 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X (Twitter): https://f24.my/Xen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
