People across Haiti are wondering what awaits them after a court in Kenya blocked the deployment of a U.N.-backed police force to help fight gangs in the troubled Caribbean country
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- Radio stations across Haiti got jammed with calls just hours after a court in Kenya blocked the deployment of a U.N.-backed police force to help fight gangs in the troubled Caribbean country.
Many callers wondered and demanded: What’s next?
Few know.
Uncertainty and fear have been spreading since Friday’s ruling, with violence reaching new records as gangs tighten their grip on Haiti’s capital and beyond.
“Absent a robust external mission that would be deployed very soon, we are facing quite a tragic scenario in Haiti,” warned Diego Da Rin with International Crisis Group.
