Haiti’s Election Bid Amid Gang Control | Roanoke News
Description
Haiti’s first elections in over a decade are underway, but with gangs controlling vast swaths of Port-au-Prince and key roads, safety and fairness hang in the balance. Voter registration has begun in select secure zones, sparking hope among some citizens eager for change — while others fear for their lives. Amid rising violence, including gender-based attacks, many remain unaware of a concurrent constitutional referendum, and deep suspicions linger about gang-elites alliances. Officials plan to expand registration, but the real test is whether Haiti can pull off elections that truly represent all its people — when so much of the nation remains under armed control.
