CNN: Gang violence spreading to Haiti’s rural reaches, UN report says
A UN report released Tuesday details a wave of violence that has swept Haiti’s rural reaches, describing gang raids on villages and alarming levels of food insecurity caused by the targeting of farmers in the country’s historic breadbasket.
The report, from the UN Human Rights Office and the UN Integrated Office in Haiti, offers a stark analysis of the spread of gangs in the poor Caribbean nation, which has seen deepening unrest since the 2021 assassination of then-President Jovenel Moise.
Past attention has largely focused on Port-au-Prince, the capital, where warring gangs have forced thousands of people from their homes and into makeshift encampments across the sprawling city. In Bas-Artibonite, the focus of the UN report and the center of Haitian rice production located some 100 kilometers from the capital, there are now more than 20 “extremely violent” criminal groups fighting for turf, it says. Some 1,690 people were killed, injured, or kidnapped from January 2022 through last month, the report also says.

The blacks are just as black there as they are everywhere else. The state of their nature lies in their genetics and culture and it isn’t anybody else’s fault.
Looks like Philadelphia 2023

Fukc Haiti, looks like Friday night in Chiraq or Philadelphistan.
Gang violence is prevalent all over the USA. Worry about that first. Haiti has had numerous chances in the past. The 13% are a useless bunch wherever they are located.
