A new wave of violence is erupting in Haiti following multiple attacks on government institutions and the escape of more than 4,000 inmates from two high-security prisons. Andrew Chang breaks down the state of play between police and well-armed gangs that are warning of an all-out "civil war."

Not because one gang leader is because of every single Individual everyone is fed up with the fuckup system.

They have no Infrastructure, No Government, No Police… NO CHANCE…😢

The real investigating reporting is in finding out who is providing the guns and ammunition and why.

DO NOT COME TO JAMAICA, WE HAVE OUR OWN PROBLEMS.

Remember when everyone clutched their pearls when Trump dared to speak truthfully about Haiti? 🙄

[aped]

Haiti is 220 years old. If they can’t get their stuff together now, they never will be able to.

The majority of those prisoners have actually been locked up for years without trial or proper charges laid against them. They won’t cover this though because it doesn’t fit the narrative.

This has been Haiti for decades and decades. Let them have at it and be done with it.

It seems that Harold Issac is the only journalist in Haiti, already saw him on 4 different channels

[gemloverallday]

I hope those prisoners aren't headed here To the US we got enough crime to deal with.

Haiti is as it is because of Haitian adults. Haitian choices make it as it is.

@ 2:38 is that guy bringing a nerf gun to a regular gun fight?

[gevfmdr]

Whoa.I dont think even the foreign journalist and reporters can go home now if they seized the airport.

[jordanstapleton]

Did that reporter actually ask the question, does iit feel safe right now??

Millions of illicit guns originating in the United States have "completely transformed the ecosystem of violence" in many other countries as well, particularly throughout Central and South America. Canada, too, is not immune to the gun smugglers and straw purchasers bringing illegal firearms into Canada from the United States. I hope CBSA remains vigilant to this ongoing threat to peace & security in Canada.

US need to have better control of their weapons leaving their country. Mexico is facing the same problem of weapons from US.

[emmapullen]

I think they should send help to this part of this country. God bless you all.

This reminds me of the movie The Warriors.
