The government of Haiti declared a 72-hour state of
emergency on Sunday after armed gangs stormed
a major Port-au-Prince prison, leading to the killing
of at least 12 people and the escape of about 4,000
inmates.
Gang leaders said they want to force the resignation

The groups aiming to oust him control about 80% of
Port-au-Prince.
Violent gang wars have killed thousands in the country
since 2020.
