Haitians living in New York City say they are hoping for a peaceful end to the ongoing crisis gripping Haiti.
Hearts are heavy in Brooklyn’s Little Haiti as the dangerous and volatile situation in the Caribbean island nation continues.Earlier this week, Prime Minister Ariel Henry announced he would resign once a transitional presidential council is created.However, that offer appears to be crumbling as some political parties have rejected the council that would manage the transition.
Henry still has not returned to the country after the powerful gangs that control as much as 80% of the capital, Port-au-Prince, began a series of attacks, torching police stations, forcing the closure of Haiti's two international airports, and storming the country's two biggest prisons, freeing over 4,000 inmates."Haiti is nothing less than a hell," said Ricot Dupuy, Station Director at Haitian station Radio Soleil.
