Amid escalating political struggle, Haiti faces one of its most turbulent periods ever. Prime Minister Garry Conille has been ousted, adding to a series of short-lived leaders, as violence dominates much of the capital region.
With no president since 2021 and an empty parliament since 2023, Haiti is left in the hands of a Transitional Presidential Council plagued by corruption allegations. Meanwhile, over 700,000 Haitians have been displaced, with famine-like conditions emerging in some areas.

Guests: Christophe Garnier, MSF Head of Mission in Haiti, Judes Jonathas, Independent Consultant, and Kim Ives, English Language Editor at Haiti Liberté Newspaper.
