Haiti Gang Violence Escalation and Moïse Assassination Prosecutions

Haiti's gang crisis remains the most urgent monitored story, with approximately 5,700 people killed or injured, mass displacement, sexual violence, child recruitment and severe humanitarian collapse. The UN-backed force remains substantially understaffed, while Viv Ansanm-linked political and criminal networks continue expanding; elections have reportedly been postponed or delayed. The reported transfer of 18 Moïse-assassination suspects to U.S. custody remains the principal accountability development.
