We pray for Haiti, amidst widespread violence and chaos following the assassination of its Prime Minister in 2021. The nation faces a power struggle among rival gangs, exacerbated by the acting Prime Minister’s decision to extend the transitional period until August 2025 instead of calling for elections as promised. This has fueled discontent among the population, leading to attacks on state institutions by gangs. Last week, 4,500 prisoners escaped, enabling criminal organizations to seize control of the capital.
