In Haiti, at least a dozen people were killed as armed groups attacked two upscale neighborhoods in the capital Port-au-Prince Monday. The communities of Laboule and Thomassin had remained relatively untouched by worsening violence and turmoil in Haiti. Residents described the chaotic scene early Monday.

Exilien Dagene: “Last night, around 11 p.m., as we were sitting here, two young boys suddenly appeared and opened fire on several of our brothers. They didn’t address anyone. They just came up and started shooting. They didn’t ask any questions. I was there when the shooting happened, and I saw them get out of a car and start shooting. I was trying to understand the situation.”

Last week, unelected Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry announced he would resign, after a coalition of armed groups opposing his rule declared an uprising. Meanwhile, Haitian stakeholders and leaders of Caribbean Community, or CARICOM, are still in negotiations to establish a transitional presidential council in Haiti.
