Haiti’s government announced a state of emergency and night-time curfew in response to escalating violence following a mass prison break in the capital. Effective until March 6, the measures aim to restore order in the Ouest region, including Port-au-Prince. Acting Prime Minister Patrick Michel Boisvert signed the decree, while Prime Minister Ariel Henry was abroad negotiating police deployment from Kenya to lead a UN-backed mission addressing Haiti’s gang-related challenges. The government seeks to regain control of the situation and stabilize the nation amid the ongoing crisis.
