About this sermon
The United Nations temporarily suspended flights to the capital of Haiti. This comes after gangs shot at 2 planes, prompting US officials to prohibit flights there for 30 days. Security was heavy outside the airport not long after street gangs opened fire on the airplanes as they landed. One flight attendant was injured. The violence came after the country swore in a new prime minister and forced the closing of schools, along with banks and government offices. Director General of Proche, Partnership for Reconstruction of the Church in Haiti, Stephan Destin, joins to share what he is seeing on the ground and whether things have calmed down since the most recent violence of the past few days. Destin discusses what it means that US flights and UN flights won't be arriving in the country's main airport anytime soon. He explains why the swearing in of the new prime minister caused the start of the most recent violence. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
