Fritz Alphonse Jean, the president of Haiti's transitional presidential council, has recently faced US visa sanctions over accusations of supporting gangs and obstructing efforts against criminal organizations, allegations he denies. The US government issued these sanctions amid ongoing gang violence and political instability, warning that undermining Haiti's stability could lead to further consequences such as visa revocations. Sunrise Airways suspended all services due to escalating violence and safety concerns, with the main international airport in Port-au-Prince frequently forced to close as gangs control large portions of the capital and elections remain at risk.
