Haiti Crisis: State Collapse, Gang Rule & International Intervention

Haiti is facing one of the gravest state-collapse scenarios in the Western Hemisphere. This Global Eye Intelligence report delivers a comprehensive analysis of Haiti’s escalating political, economic, and humanitarian crisis, driven by unchecked gang violence, institutional paralysis, and contested international interventions.

The report examines the fallout of President Jovenel Moïse’s assassination, the absence of elected leadership, and the rapid rise of heavily armed gang coalitions controlling most of Port-au-Prince and critical infrastructure. It analyses how gangs have evolved into de facto power centres—fuelled by illicit weapons flows, organised crime networks, and long-standing governance failures.

Beyond domestic breakdown, the report evaluates the role of external actors, including the United States, Kenya-led multinational security missions, and regional stakeholders, assessing whether intervention can stabilise Haiti or risks deepening dependency and unrest. Economic collapse, mass displacement, food insecurity, sexual violence, and the erosion of basic healthcare are mapped as cascading consequences of prolonged instability.

Designed for policymakers, security analysts, humanitarian planners, and geopolitical risk professionals, this report provides clarity on why Haiti’s crisis matters far beyond its borders.

State collapse rarely announces itself—it unfolds through violence, paralysis, and missed windows for action. Those who track Haiti now will understand the next migration, security, and humanitarian shock before it spreads regionally. Follow Global Eye Intelligence to stay ahead of fragile-state risks shaping the Americas.
