The Crisis in Haiti
Haiti is currently facing a dire situation marked by political instability, natural disasters, and rampant gang violence. Since the catastrophic earthquake in 2010, which resulted in extensive loss of life and infrastructure, the nation has struggled to recover. The assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021 further exacerbated the chaos, leading to a surge in gang control and violence. This ongoing turmoil is deeply rooted in a legacy of colonialism and external interference, which has left Haiti the poorest nation in the Western hemisphere, prompting many people to flee in search of safety and stability.
