"Gang Violence Erupts as Parishioners Fight Crime in Haiti"
A powerful gang in Haiti opened fire on a group of parishioners led by a pastor who were marching through a community armed with machetes in an attempt to rid the area of gang members. The attack, which was filmed by journalists, resulted in several deaths and injuries. Gangs in Haiti have grown more powerful since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in July 2021, with estimates suggesting they control up to 80% of Port-au-Prince. The incident has sparked calls for an investigation and highlights the ongoing issue of gang violence in the country.
