Police in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, used tear gas to disperse hundreds of peaceful protesters demanding assistance in combating the violent gangs that have been taking control of their neighborhoods. The protesters expressed frustration over the lack of effective measures to address the rampant gang violence in the city.
Residents, including 24-year-old Marclin Jean-Pierre, took to the streets to voice their concerns about the escalating violence and the government's perceived inaction. Jean-Pierre highlighted the constant threat of gun violence in his neighborhood of Solino, which has become a battleground for gangs vying for control.
