Haiti - Descent Into Anarchy

With criminal gangs now controlling most of Haiti's capital and no functioning government, Mike Thomson explores how this decent to anarchy came about.

With criminal gangs now controlling most of Haiti's capital and no function government, Mike Thomson explores what caused this spiralling descent to Anarchy in this predominately Christian, Caribbean country, where more than half its eleven million French and Creole speaking people live below the poverty line. Mike looks for answers with help from Haitians, experts and political leaders who’ve lived through many of their nation’s recent social upheavals and natural disasters.
