The UN reported 1,642 murders and 745 injuries in Haiti between January and March 2026. The violence, far from being contained, has spread from Port-au-Prince to the Centre and Artibonite departments. Coordinated gang attacks against self-defense groups left 83 dead and 38 injured, highlighting the fragility of government control in rural areas.
Surveillance drones and predictive algorithms against urban chaos 🚁
Technological solutions such as reconnaissance drones with night vision and predictive analysis systems based on gang mobility patterns have been deployed in Port-au-Prince. However, the lack of communication and electricity infrastructure limits their effectiveness. Satellite data helps map escape routes, but without a rapid police response, technology only documents the disaster.
More people die than in a Netflix series, but without a season 2 🎬
With 1,642 dead in three months, Haiti surpasses the average victim count of any action series. The difference is that here there are no scriptwriters or happy endings. Gangs operate as improvised scriptwriters, and self-defense groups are supporting actors who never asked for the role. At least Netflix doesn't cancel a season as quickly as the UN updates its reports.
