Haiti is currently experiencing a significant crisis characterized by armed violence and political instability, leading to stalled leadership talks and a humanitarian support collapse. The United Nations and aid groups have expressed fears over the complete collapse of humanitarian support for Haitians, who are already struggling to access basic needs. The crisis has been exacerbated by the role of armed groups in the political crisis, following the ousting of unelected Prime Minister Ariel Henry. Kim Ives, English editor of Haiti Liberte, and Haitian-American scholar Jemima Pierre discussed these issues. Additionally, the U.S. is attempting to intercept weapons destined for gangs in Port-au-Prince, indicating the severity of the violence. The crisis has deepened as the siege on the capital by heavily armed gangs enters its second month, prompting Haitians to seek ways to flee the gang-fueled anarchy, as reported by UN migration.
