Haiti's state institutions have collapsed, allowing criminal gangs to fill power vacuum; international humanitarian organizations (US-based) now provide essential services; diaspora connections remain vital for advocacy and support.
Similar to 1980s-1990s Haiti under military dictatorship (Cédras regime), where state failure enabled violence and forced diaspora mobilization; current gang control mirrors failed-state dynamics.
