Gang Attack in Haiti Leaves 70 People Dead
The assault took place in a key agricultural region, which has seen a surge in gang violence.
The gang members, armed with automatic weapons, stormed into the small town of Pont-Sondé in central Haiti at around 3 a.m. on Thursday.
Then they started setting houses on fire.“As people rushed out of their houses, they were shot,” said Ravina Shamdasani, chief spokeswoman for the United Nations Human Rights Office.
When the violence ended, at least 70 people — including 10 women and three infants — were dead, while hundreds of others ran for their lives, the U.N. office said in a statement.

Anyone got the full article?
I'd like to know why this happened. Even a flimsy excuse, some shit reasoning. Revenge on a rival gang or something?
Holy shit! It looks like a bunch of "gangs" (more like militias) are successfully extorting the entire country..
Oh. It's way worse than I thought, holy shit.
Thanks for the link, meowther. (I tried making it "brother" but with a cat pun, but that just looks like "mother", and I did not mean to convey the "ok, mom" sentiment. I'm still leaving it tho.)
