Haitian gangs have significantly expanded their influence and capabilities, posing an escalating threat to the multinational police force led by Kenya that is set to deploy to the country, The New York Times reported on Tuesday.
These organizations have entrenched themselves in key national infrastructure, including police stations and seaports, and have driven hundreds of thousands of people from the capital. There are also suspicions of their involvement in the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, a catalyst of the current state of chaos.
