Last week, Haiti’s prime minister visited Kenya to sign an agreement for more security in the country he leads. He’s now unable to return to Haiti because gangs are threatening civil war around the country’s main airport.

Gangs in Haiti, led by a man named “Barbeque,” have attacked government sites and announced a potential civil war if Prime Minister Ariel Henry doesn’t resign. Henry is currently stranded in Puerto Rico.

A 72-hour state of emergency was declared following attacks on two major jails in Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, which allowed thousands of criminals to run free.

U.S. and Caribbean nations are pressuring Henry for a transition to elections, with plans to deploy a Kenyan-led, UN-backed multinational force to restore order.
