Haiti is facing a deepening crisis as the lack of elections leaves a governance vacuum that empowers criminal groups. The country’s political and security landscape remains highly volatile.
Steven Dudley speaks with investigator Alex Papadovasilakis to examine the situation in Port-au-Prince. With no elected leadership in place, the state has struggled to maintain authority, allowing gang control to expand significantly across the nation.
The discussion explores how the erosion of democratic institutions has contributed to this shift and what it means for regional stability.
It also clarifies why the security situation remains so fluid without a clear path to democratic transition. Understanding the connection between political failure and organized crime is essential to grasping the reality on the ground in Haiti.
