Shownotes Transcript

Haiti's gangs have effectively taken over the country, plunging into chaos and violence as warring gangster warlords like the infamous Barbeque fight for territorial control. In February gangs stormed police stations, shot up the airport and freed thousands of prisoners after storming the country's biggest prisons, causing a humanitarian crisis.

We're joined by reporter Jason Motlagh, who's been reporting down there for years and has hung out with Barbeque before.
