Port au Prince: Gang control almost complete

With armed gangs now estimated to control 85 percent of Haiti's capital, leading many to call the country a failed state, the situation looks desperate. Violent crime is rampant, infrastructure like the main hospital has collapsed, and millions face a spiralling humanitarian crisis with displacement figures soaring. Protests against government negligence are met with force, while a Kenyan-led security mission struggles to make an impact, even becoming targets themselves. As neighbouring Dominican Republic tightens its border and the international community appears hesitant, is there any path left to restore order from anarchy?
