Chaotic scenes grip Haiti’s capital as armed groups escalate attacks on public facilities, demanding Prime Minister Ariel Henry’s resignation despite his pledge to step down once a transitional council is formed. Residents describe streets overrun by violence, with homes looted and families displaced—a dire reality captured in recent accounts shared with CGTN Stringer.
\"They destroyed everything… we have nowhere to go,\" said one Port-au-Prince resident, echoing widespread despair. Gang blockades now hinder food and medical aid deliveries, deepening humanitarian struggles for thousands.
The unrest has drawn global concern, with neighboring Caribbean nations urging stability. Meanwhile, the proposed transitional council faces challenges in gaining consensus, leaving Haiti’s political future uncertain.
