00:00 Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the Hotline.
00:04 The Caribbean island, Haiti, was hit by a large-scale prison break last weekend.
00:09 The local gang, in an attempt to overthrow the regime that overthrew Prime Minister Henry,
00:13 raided the main prison in the capital, Taizigang,
00:15 causing thousands of prisoners to flee.
00:18 As of now, five people have died, at least four police officers were killed.
00:22 In this prison break,
00:24 the prison that was originally held for nearly 4,000 prisoners
00:27 is now only left with less than 100 prisoners.
00:29 With the freedom of the prisoners, the residents are subject to the threat of murder, kidnapping,
00:33 arson, and sexual assault,
00:35 forcing more than 300,000 locals to flee their homes.
00:39 Why is the Haitian gang so rampant that it has reached a point of no return?
00:44 According to UN data, the total population of Haiti is over 11 million,
00:48 but only 9,000 police officers are in the country.
00:52 In addition, the weapons are not equipped well enough to compete with the gangs.
00:57 According to estimates, 80% of the area in Taizigang is now under the control of the gangs.
01:03 As for Prime Minister Henry, he visited Nairobi, the capital of Kenya during the incident,
01:07 and signed a mutual agreement with the Kenyan government
01:09 to seek the UN member states to send security forces to Haiti
01:13 to help pacify the unrest and stabilize the situation.
01:17 The gunfire continues in Taizigang, the capital of Haiti.
01:21 The people near the conflict area have to give up their homes and protect their lives.
01:25 In the midst of the chaos, they carefully dodge forward,
01:29 avoiding being shot by the gunfire.
01:31 The Haitian gang is rampant.
01:33 Now, the police stations and the international airports,
01:36 and the national prisons have all become targets of attack.
01:38 As you can see from the video, the prison doors are wide open after the bloodshed.
01:42 The guards are not seen, and in addition to the burnt tires,
01:46 there are also two bloody bodies on the scene.
01:49 The police car windows also have traces of bullets.
01:52 The muddy sky was supposed to be full of people,
01:55 but only plastic slippers, clothes, and fans are left.
01:59 The prisoner who chose to stay said he was innocent.
02:02 Although their lives were threatened, they still chose to stay.
02:06 Colombians don't owe anything. We stay in our cells.
02:10 Why don't we go? Because we have no one to escape from.
02:16 The Haitian gang and the police have not yet stopped the fire.
02:19 The turbulent situation has also forced the cancellation of many flights.
02:22 Many government agencies and schools have been forced to close.
02:25 The prime minister, who was supposed to return to China after the Kenya trip,
02:29 is now missing.
