Gangs Attack 2 Largest Prisons in Haiti, Releasing Thousands of Inmates | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

There's been another round of violence in Haiti. As heavily armed gangs tried to seize control of the country's main international airport, gang members exchanged gunfire with police soldiers. The goal was to prevent the prime minister from returning to the county. His whereabouts are currently unknown. The violence began after gangs attacked the country's 2 biggest prisons and released thousands of inmates. Executive Director of the Partnership for Church Reconstruction, Stephan Destin, joins to tell us what he is seeing in Haiti and whether any escaped inmates have been found and re-arrested. There are questions over the whereabouts of the country's prime minister. Destin helps us unpack this, why we don't know where he is and whether his absence is part of the reason for the violence. Haiti is a Catholic country. Destin shares whether Church leaders responded to this new wave of violence and whether the international community and White House have said anything. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
