The government announced on March 4 the 72-hour emergency and the introduction of commandant’s day for the capture of criminals who escaped from prison.

The gang of Sherizya has repeatedly tried to capture the metropolitan airport to prevent Prime Minister Henri to return to the country.

Henri was in Nairobi during gang attacks to consider the possibility of sending multinational security forces led by Kenia in Haiti.

Haiti has been fighting for many years with fundamental problems, such as political, economic crises and security crises. The population of the country, numbering more than 11 million people, is at risk of hunger.
