Masses of residents fled their homes on Thursday a

Masses of residents fled their homes on Thursday as intense fighting broke out between gangs and police in one of the few remaining neighborhoods of Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, not yet entirely under gang control. The Solino neighborhood became the latest battleground as violence escalated amid the country's ongoing political crisis.⁠
⁠
Families scrambled to pack their belongings—mattresses, furniture, and personal items—into cars or carried them on foot, fleeing their homes in a rush. Solino has become a hotspot in the fierce conflict between a police force struggling to maintain control and a powerful gang coalition known as Viv Ansanm, which has been engaged in violent clashes with authorities for several days.⁠
⁠
The unrest began on Sunday after #Haiti's transitional council, formed to restore democratic order, ousted the interim prime minister amid political infighting. Despite the presence of a U.N.-backed mission, led by Kenyan police, intended to suppress the gangs, the violence shows no signs of subsiding. Gangs like Viv Ansanm have been capitalizing on the political chaos to expand their control. The takeover of Solino is just one example of how the gangs exploit moments of instability to strengthen their hold on the capital. Locals are issuing an #SOS, urgently calling for help and protection as gang violence has transformed their neighborhoods into war zones.⁠

Across #SouthFlorida, immigrant communities are in

Across #SouthFlorida, immigrant communities are increasingly anxious as fears of mass deportations loom, a campaign promise made by President-elect #DonaldTrump. For many immigrants, the possibility of being forced to leave the U.S. is both a personal and community-wide crisis, stirring feelings of uncertainty and fear about what the future holds.⁠
⁠
CBS News Miami reported from Little Havana, a neighborhood known for its Cuban roots but home to immigrants from across #LatinAmerica and the #Caribbean. Many residents in this community – including individuals from #Cuba, #Nicaragua, #Venezuela, and #Haiti – have been allowed to stay in the U.S. under a program called “Humanitarian Parole.” This program offered a temporary two-year stay to immigrants from specific countries, provided they had a U.S.-based sponsor. However, for many of these immigrants, that two-year period is drawing to a close, leaving them uncertain about their next steps.⁠
⁠
For the thousands who now face potential deportation, this uncertainty is a harsh reminder of their status's precariousness. #HumanitarianParole was a temporary lifeline, but as it nears expiration, those who have built lives here, taken jobs, and raised families are left in limbo. Community organizations and immigration advocates are bracing for what may come next, mobilizing to provide support and advocate for the extension of programs that have offered a semblance of stability to so many.⁠
⁠
As the new administration prepares to take office, immigrant communities in South Florida and across the country are watching closely, hoping that their fears do not materialize and that they can continue to call the U.S. home.⁠

So apparently, American Airlines was hit, too? According to a spokesperson for the #FortWorth-based airline, #AmericanAirlines has suspended its daily flights between #Miami and #Haiti after one of its planes was struck by a bullet. The incident occurred on November 11, when a flight from Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP) in #PortauPrince to Miami International Airport (MIA) landed safely in Miami. Upon inspection, airline officials discovered that a bullet had hit the exterior of the aircraft. ⁠
⁠
In response, American Airlines announced that its service from Miami to Haiti will be suspended for three months, until February 12, 2025. "We are closely working with all relevant authorities to investigate the incident," the airline said in a statement, adding that they will continue to monitor the situation to ensure safety and security remain the top priority. ⁠
⁠
Fortunately, no injuries were reported on the American Airlines flight. ⁠

Konpa To The World 🇭🇹 ⁠ @MichaelBrun’s h

Konpa To The World 🇭🇹 ⁠
@MichaelBrun’s highly anticipated track “Safe,” featuring the incredible @JohnLegend and #Haitian songstress @Rutshelle Guillaume, is out today. This unique blend of #konpa, R&B, and cultural pride showcases the powerful vocals and rich heritage of Haiti and global music.⁠
⁠
For Michael Brun, this release is a career highlight. He expressed his excitement at introducing Legend to konpa, a genre close to his heart, stating, “It is truly an honor to collaborate with John on this song, especially after he spoke out against misinformation about Haitian immigrants. This song is more than music; it’s a statement.”⁠
⁠
Rutshelle's contribution adds even more authenticity to the track. She worked with her team to perfect her Kreyol version of the song, bringing her signature vocal strength to the collaboration. Reflecting on the project, she said, “We did it for the culture. It’s a celebration of Haitian pride and unity.”⁠
⁠
"Safe" is a cross-cultural anthem that fuses genres and highlights a shared vision of solidarity.⁠

#BREAKINGNews - The Federal Aviation Administratio

#BREAKINGNews - The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a 30-day ban on all U.S. flights to #Haiti following gunfire incidents on Monday. According to a Notice to Air Mission (NOTAM) released Tuesday, U.S. civil aviation operations are prohibited in Haiti’s territory and airspace below 10,000 feet for the next month.⁠
⁠
This decision comes after a #SpiritAirlines flight en route from Fort Lauderdale, #Florida, to #Haiti was struck by gunfire as it attempted to land at Toussaint Louverture International Airport in #PortauPrince. The #Haitian National Office of Civil Aviation (OFNAC) confirmed that the aircraft was hit four times during its approach, forcing the plane to divert to the #DominicanRepublic.⁠
⁠
The FAA’s temporary restriction reflects growing concerns over the safety of flights in and out of Haiti as violence and unrest in the region continue to escalate. As the situation develops, the FAA will continue to assess the safety of airspace operations in Haiti. Following the 30-day ban, updates regarding the resumption of flights are expected.⁠
