Crisis in Haiti and Press Freedoms

This chapter examines the escalating security crisis in Haiti, with gang control intensifying in Port-au-Prince and the humanitarian implications for civilians. It juxtaposes this with the alarming state of press freedoms in Zimbabwe, where a journalist's arrest reveals the dangers of government oppression on dissent and media. The chapter highlights the urgent need for international intervention in Haiti while also discussing the implications of political vulnerability in governance, as illustrated by the UK Prime Minister's emotional display in parliament.
