    The world without photography will be meaningless to us if there is no light and color, which opens up our minds and expresses passion.

    British photojournalist Giles Clarke was in Port au Prince, Haiti, the week before the gang-led city takeover in February 2024. While there, Clarke spent time with Jimmy “Barbecue” Cherizier, a former police officer who leads an alliance of gangs in Haiti and who took responsibility for the coup that shut down the international airport for three months and led to the resignation of then-Prime Minister Ariel Henry in late April 2024. Despite a Kenyan military force arriving in July 2024, the gangs still control some 80% of the city, with some 350,000 people displaced by urban gang warfare.
