Haiti in State of Emergency After Deadly Gang Assault on Prison
Haiti is in a state of emergency after a deadly gang assault on the capital's main prison saw nearly 4,000 inmates freed, leading to civil war-like conditions in the city. Over 200 armed gangs inflict terror, violence, and lawlessness in Haiti's capital. The government has declared a 72-hour state of emergency to capture the escaped criminals, and former elite police officer Barbecue is behind the surge in attacks.
