Haiti on Brink of Anarchy Amid Hunger, Gangs and Power Vacuum
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti—Nearly half of the population on this island nation is facing acute hunger, while gang members block fuel distribution routes to the capital and scare away tourists from pristine beaches.
Yet another country in turmoil. Nothing for four years and now two within days of each other, and in a similar region.
A country that for much of its history has been stifled by poverty and strife is now mired in its worst crisis in a generation after President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated in his home last week in a murky attack the police blame on two dozen foreign mercenaries…
Foreign mercenaries? From where?
[quote] Haitian authorities describe as a unit of assassins formed of 26 Colombians and two Haitian Americans.
Oh, I can see the alphabet agencies training on those last two. Who was the ring leader?
The political uncertainty comes as police on Sunday said they arrested Christian Emmanuel Sanon, a Haitian doctor, for being a central figure in the assassination of Mr. Moïse. Authorities alleged that Mr. Sanon, who until June was living in Florida, wanted to take over as president. But many here didn’t even know him.
Living in Florida! For how long?
How many more nations can we expect this violence/unrest to happen in?
I think we will have more before things get better.
