## Resource

Top Haitian defense official James Boyard, a key architect of police reform and inspector general, has been kidnapped in a formerly secure zone of Port-au-Prince, signaling gangs’ expanding control over the capital. His abduction—likely meticulously planned with insider help—dealt a major blow to ongoing security efforts and underscores a grim trend: gangs are targeting high-profile officials to extort ransoms and intimidate authorities. With gangs now controlling roughly 70% of the city, this incident reveals the deepening crisis in Haiti’s most volatile urban center.
