Haiti is currently experiencing a severe crisis as armed gangs continue to expand their influence through extreme violence, including sexual assaults and 'collective rapes', according to a statement by the United Nations. These gangs are using such brutal tactics to instill fear, punish, and subjugate local populations, with the ultimate goal of controlling more territory. The situation has escalated to the point where Haitians are being forced to flee their homes. The international community is being questioned on their inaction as the country faces an endless cycle of violence, with gangs inflicting extreme cruelty and vigilantes operating outside the law. Official sources also report that the violence is being exacerbated by protests and riots by forest rangers cornered by the government, adding to the population's panic and insecurity.
