Port-au-Prince

Haiti’s iconic Hotel Oloffson, long a cultural beacon, destroyed by gang violence

The Hotel Oloffson in Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince, long a haven for artists and writers, poets and presidents, a symbol of Haiti's troubled politics and its storied past, has been destroyed by gangs.

Haiti’s gangs have ‘near-total control’ of the capital, U.N. says

An estimated 90% of the capital Port-au-Prince is now under control of criminal groups who are expanding attacks not only into surrounding areas but beyond into previously peaceful areas.
