What has caused security to deteriorate in Haiti? | Inside Story

Haiti’s director of National Police has warned the capital is at war. Port-au-Prince has been overrun by gangs. A state of emergency has been declared after gang members attacked two prisons - freeing several thousand prisoners. The security situation worsened after President Jovenel Moise was assassinated in 2021. For months, protesters have been calling for Prime Minister Ariel Henry to step down. They are angry about delayed elections, the rising cost of living and insecurity. The foreign minister has likened Haiti to a war zone. To help restore order, the UN has proposed sending a multi-national force. Presenter: Jonah Hull Guests: Francois Guillaume - Haitian Ambassador to Qatar.
