Haiti's transitional government has approved a 'war time budget' in response to escalating gang violence that has overtaken much of the capital and surrounding areas.
The $275,000 emergency budget aims to address the country's worsening security and social crisis. Armed gangs have seized control of key towns and are threatening to overthrow the transitional government. The United States and the Caribbean Community have condemned the gangs' actions and expressed support for Haiti's government.
The situation underscores the growing regional and international concern over Haiti's stability and security.

Maybe if the state hadn't spent decades oppressing people and hollowing out communities, gangs wouldn't be filling the power vacuum left by their corrupt institutions.

It’s about time Haiti started treating this like the war it is—only overwhelming force is going to bring back order.
This is exactly why strong, centralized power is needed—only a firm hand can restore order in a place overrun by lawless gangs. Enough of the chaos; it’s time the government used every tool available to crush these criminals and take back control.
