Summary
Gang members attacked the reopening of Haiti’s largest public hospital in Port-au-Prince, killing two journalists and a police officer, and injuring several others.
The journalists were covering the event when the Viv Ansanm gang opened fire, causing panic and chaos, with live-streamed videos showing people bleeding and huddled on the hospital floor.
Haitian leader Leslie Voltaire condemned the attack, pledging consequences.
Gangs control 85% of the capital, and violence has surged despite international efforts, including a Kenyan-led protection force.
This follows recent gang attacks on clinics and a December massacre of voodoo practitioners.
What’s the game plan for these gangs? Like what are they actually trying to accomplish by attacks on civilians?
Not shitting on it but why does Kenya have forces there?
Aside from everything that article says (unless I missed it), I imagine that Haitians would respond better to a black security force rather than a mixed one.
