Gangs In Haiti Kill 4 Soldiers And 4 Civilians

HAITI – Gang violence in Haiti’s capital continues escalating, with at least four soldiers and four armed civilians killed in recent attacks.

Officials say gangs are trying to take full control of Port-Au-Prince, targeting once peaceful communities.

Graphic videos circulating online show gunmen mutilating victims.

Local leaders say the civilians who died were trying to defend their neighborhoods.

Haiti’s transitional government has condemned the violence as police and armed residents struggle to hold the line.

A Kenyan-led international mission is on the ground but far short of the 2,500 police officers needed.
