"Mass Jailbreak: Armed Gangs Free 4,000 Inmates in Haiti Amid Violent Chaos"
Armed gangs in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, have freed about 4,000 inmates from the main prison, including gang members charged in connection with the 2021 killing of President Jovenel Moïse. The violence in Haiti has escalated, with gangs controlling 80% of the capital and aiming to oust Prime Minister Ariel Henry. Kenyan President William Ruto has signed an agreement with Henry to deploy a Kenyan-led multinational security force to tackle the gang violence. The unrest in Port-au-Prince has intensified since Henry's departure, with gang leader Jimmy Chérizier declaring a co-ordinated attack to oust the prime minister, leading to a wave of shootings and escalating violence in the capital.
