‘Shockwaves throughout the country’ following ‘gruesome’ killings in Haitian mountain retreatGenie Godula is pleased to welcome journalist Harold Isaac on the ground in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince.

With armed groups controlling roughly 80 percent of Port-au-Prince, the capital is effectively under siege, while the circulation of people, goods and services increasingly requires some form of negotiation with gang power.

It is believed to be one of the largest mass kidnappings in Haiti in recent years, and one gang leader is threatening to kill the hostages if authorities kill any gang members as they try to secure the community nestled in the hills above Port-au-Prince. Sunday’s attack on Kenscoff pierced the belief that security in the troubled Caribbean country was improving. Journalist Harold Isaac reports from Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
