What’s going on in Haiti? (hexbear.net)

Does anyone have good news sources? I am pretty wary of swallowing the state department line that this is all due to “gang violence”… particularly given how racially coded that language is, and when I read into the stories it says they’re mostly attacking government and police buildings. I see embassy personnel are being airlifted. Mainly trying to figure out who are the factions/what is going on

There's very little English language info on what's really going on on the ground. Well, aside from NGOs and other untrustworthy sources like you mention. I think the info either doesn't exist or is in creole and I haven't found it.

I assume its democracy in action. Which is why the US is making it sound bad.
