PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Haiti has expanded its state of emergency to cover the entire nation’s territory, a spokesperson for Prime Minister Garry Conille said on Wednesday, September 4, as the Caribbean country battles violent gangs that have taken over much of the capital and started expanding into nearby regions.
The state of emergency was repeatedly renewed and other departments were later added, including the farming region of Artibonite that has suffered some of the worst violence, the Centre department and Nippes, on the southern peninsula. The announcement comes a day ahead of a planned visit to the Caribbean nation by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
