Children make up half of Haiti’s gangs. They’re about to face a new foreign force.
Children make up about 50% of armed groups in the country, experts estimate. In 2024 alone, at least 302 children were “recruited and used” by gangs across the capital, Port-au-Prince, according to the latest UN secretary general’s report on children and armed conflict. Most were used in combat roles, it said.
Traces of this phenomenon can be spotted on gangs’ social media. Last week, during a gang attack that left dozens dead in Artibonite, Haiti’s agricultural heartland, one video appeared to show a round-cheeked young boy waving a rifle and mugging for the camera. Behind him, an older man repeatedly fired into the distance.
Bargains, deceit: How the assassination of Haiti’s president unfolded, unraveled
In the hours after Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was shot to death inside the bedroom of his mountaintop home, an inner circle of people suspected of being involved in the assassination plot in South Florida and in Port-au-Prince were frantically trying to steer events in their favor.

In a text message, Intriago wrote that certain Americans needed Charles’ protection after acting under a Haitian judge’s order that led to Moïse’s slaying more than four years ago.
Intriago told Charles that he “must stop any confrontation” between the Haitian national police and a group of former Colombian soldiers suspected of killing the president.

La contraction de l’intermédiation financière s’est poursuivie dans un contexte marqué par la faiblesse de l’activité économique et une incertitude accrue. La baisse du crédit bancaire et la désintermédiation financière ont contribué à améliorer les ratios des prêts improductifs, tandis que les ratios d’adéquation des fonds propres demeurent bien supérieurs aux minimums réglementaires.
Global fuel-price shocks risk worsening already dire situation in Haiti
Soaring fuel prices driven by the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran risks worsening an already dire situation in Haiti, the International Monetary Fund warned Monday, as a recent hike at the pump renewed protests in gang-plagued Port-au-Prince.
Angry bus drivers took to the streets in the Delmas 33 neighborhood of the capital, blocking roads with their vehicles and setting tires ablaze Monday morning. Later, some passengers were forced to get off buses as protesters denounced the government’s fuel price increase.
