Attacks escalated in Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, leading to the killing of gang leaders amid efforts to form a transitional council in the absence of a functioning government. Despite progress in selecting council members, some political factions have faced challenges in uniting behind representatives. Violence continued in the city, with reports of vigilante justice and heavy gunfire. The United Nations welcomed the transition plan facilitated by CARICOM but raised concerns about the security situation and the need for swift international assistance. Foreign governments, including Canada and the US, have been evacuating their citizens from Haiti due to the ongoing instability.
