10 killed in Haiti amid ongoing tensions

Deutsche Welle :
At least 10 people were found dead on Monday in a wealthy suburb of Haiti’s capital, as gang violence takes grip of the country amid political instability following the announcement of the Prime Minister Ariel Henry’s resignation.
Witnesses reported seeing the bodies, some with bullet holes, in the affluent Petion-Ville neighbourhood on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince.
Armed gangs attacked homes, a bank and a gas station in the area.There were reports of shooting and looting in the nearby area of Laboule.
“We don’t know if it’s bandits or the police who were behind this,” a motorcycle taxi driver named Cadet told AFP news agency. He said that the victims were probably those who had been out late at night, “searching for something to eat for their children.”
Haiti has been seeing escalating violence for most of this month as armed gangs rebelled against Prime Minister Henry, forcing the country to declare a state of emergency.
Last week, Henry agreed to step down after the Caribbean regional trade bloc known as Caricom organized emergency talks in Jamaica to address the situation.
