“Haiti’s government announced Monday that it approved what it called a ‘war budget’ of $275,000 aimed at alleviating the country’s crisis as gang violence surges. Nearly 40% of the money will go toward Haiti’s police and military [gangs] ‘to fight the armed groups that threaten national stability,’ while nearly 20% will go to fortify the border it shares with the Dominican Republic, Haiti’s transitional presidential council said in a statement. Another 16% will go to social programs including those focused on education, health and humanitarian assistance.” (04/14/25)
