HAITI: Armed gangs spread beyond capital
Armed gangs are continuing their relentless expansion in Haiti, with thousands fleeing in their wake, exacerbating a humanitarian emergency. The Viv Ansanm gang coalition spread outside Port-au-Prince on 31 March launching an assault on Mirebalais, north of the Haitian capital, breaking into a prison and releasing more than 500 inmates. “I am not sure the usual description of gang violence captures the amount of unbearable suffering that has been inflicted on the Haitian people,” Volker Türk, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, said in an address to the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland, three days earlier.
