Umoja wa Mataifa umeonya kuwa magenge ya kihalifu yamedhibiti karibu mji mzima wa Port-au-Prince, mji mkuu wa Haiti. Takriban asilimia 90 ya jiji hilo sasa liko mikononi mwa magenge, huku ghasia zikienea hadi maeneo yaliyokuwa na utulivu awali. Serikali ya Haiti imeshindwa kudhibiti hali hiyo, kwa mujibu wa taarifa ya Umoja wa Mataifa.

Ghada Fathi Waly, Executive Director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), echoed that warning
“As gang control expands, the state’s capacity to govern is rapidly shrinking, with social, economic and security implications,” she told ambassadors, briefing remotely from Vienna
“This erosion of state legitimacy has cascading effects,” she said, with legal commerce becoming paralysed as gangs control major trade routes, such conditions worsening “already dire levels of food insecurity and humanitarian need,” she added
Since January, the UN Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH), recorded over 4,000 individuals deliberately killed – a 24 per cent increase compared to the same period in 2024
