In a startling turn of events, hundreds of inmates have broken out of a prison in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, amidst escalating violence spurred by armed gangs wreaking havoc across the city.




Since Thursday, a wave of unrest has targeted key locations, including the international airport, police stations, and the National Penitentiary prison. The situation took a dangerous turn when gang leader Jimmy Cherizier, also known as Barbecue, announced his intention to overthrow the country's acting prime minister, Ariel Henry.


Cherizier, a former police officer who now leads a powerful gang alliance, has faced international sanctions from both the United Nations and the US Department of Treasury. On Friday, he called upon the Haitian military and national police to "take responsibility" by arresting Prime Minister Henry, who assumed office following the assassination of Haiti's last president, Jovenel Moise, in 2021.


The unfolding chaos in Haiti underscores the urgent need for stability and decisive action in the face of mounting threats to public safety. The breakout from the National Penitentiary prison adds another layer of concern, heightening fears of increased criminal activity in an already volatile situation.


As the situation unfolds, the international community watches with concern, hoping for a swift resolution to restore order and protect the citizens of Haiti. The call for action against Prime Minister Ariel Henry has added a political dimension to the crisis, raising questions about the country's political stability in the midst of this turbulent period. The events in Haiti demand attention, and observers worldwide are closely monitoring the situation as it continues to evolve.
