The echoes of gunfire in Turgeau on Wednesday are not just another episode of violence; they reveal the failure of a state.
As the armed gangs of the Viv Ansanm coalition advanced on Port-au-Prince, the government’s much-vaunted “war budget” turned out to be a hollow promise, incapable of protecting schools, businesses or families in the face of terror.
The streets of Turgeau, now littered with the debris of abandoned lives, tell a story of despair that budgetary rhetoric cannot erase.
Last month, the Haitian government presented its “war budget”, designed to regain control of the country. However, with armored vehicles patrolling the streets and brigadiers overwhelmed, the reality is overwhelming: no amount of funding can replace an effective strategy.
Attacks on key territories show a fatal discrepancy between political posturing and chaos on the ground.
