Unrelenting gang warfare in Port-au-Prince is fueling an exodus of people from Haiti’s capital, overwhelming already impoverished cities and towns and sparking fears that the gangs will follow. /

Further information has emerged regarding last night's remarkable prison escape at Haiti's largest penitentiary. Sources close to the institution suggest that the overwhelming majority of the inmates are believed to be on the run.
The residency of the PM Ariel Henry was attacked today by several police officers in the wake of the assassination of six police officers in l’Artibonite, a source in the PM’s bureau told me. The PM and the chief of his cabinet were not on the premises during the assault.

Jovenel Moïse choisit de pas renouveler le mandat de Wilner Morin. Il est l'un des rares juges haïtiens spécialisés dans la corruption. Il fait partie des seuls juges capables de siéger "valablement" lors d'un éventuel procès Petrocaribe.
