Haiti's long wait for help: Can international police force stop gang rule?


Listen Later

How to stop the slide in the Americas' poorest nation? The last time this show put the spotlight on Haiti was nearly three months ago. The capital had been overrun by gangs who had banded together against then Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who had just secured a deal to deploy a Kenyan-led international police force.µ

The unelected Henry has since handed power over to a collegial Transitional National Council, but the gangs have extended their chokehold on Haiti and the deployment of law enforcement remains on hold.

We bring you an exclusive report on how the Caribbean state is coping. We also discuss how to bring law and order back to Port-au-Prince, which is estimated to be 80 percent controlled by armed groups, and avoid the failures of past international missions there.

Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Rebecca Gnignati and Juliette Brown.
