Busted itttt! Haiti's government declared a state of emergency on Sunday, following several days of violence in the capital culminating in an attack on the country's main penitentiary which left most of its inmates at large. It said a curfew would be enforced from 6 p.m. to 5 a.m. through Wednesday in the Ouest region, which includes the capital Port-au-Prince, and added that both the state of the emergency and curfew periods could be extended. Police told to 'use all legal means' Haiti's Economy Minister Patrick Michel Boisvert signed the government statement, deputizing for Prime Minister Ariel Henry. Security forces had "received orders to use all legal means at their disposal to enforce the curfew and detain those who violate it," the government said.

But to step onto its cracked streets requires a careful calculation of risk and reward. Ruthless gangs have a stranglehold on the city, preying on the population, carving neighborhoods into warring criminal fiefdoms, and cutting Haiti’s international port off from the rest of the country. In this city, the most-shared online videos are often torture footage, recorded and posted by gangs to spread horror and hasten ransom payments for thousands of kidnapping victims.
