In Port-au-Prince, armed gangs have taken control of approximately 85% of the capital, leading to growing unrest among the populace. Despite the transitional government's efforts, gang violence has surged, with gangs forming coalitions and inflicting terror through extortion, killings, and mass rapes. Over one million people have been displaced, pushing the economy toward a freezing point and causing widespread hunger. Protests against the government’s failure to restore security highlight the urgent demands of the Haitian people for their rights and safety.
"Those men today cannot frighten me. We can't stand this insecurity in the country any longer; it is unacceptable that we continue to lose territory."
"The transitional government has done little to hold off the gangs' advances... which has contributed to a freezing of the economy and has fueled mass hunger."
