Haiti: gangs storm the National Library of Port-au-Prince. “I was told that the thugs are taking away the institution's furniture.
They also ransacked the building's generator. I alerted the police for rapid intervention,” declared Dangelo Néard. ‘We have rare documents, more than 200 years old, of heritage importance which risk being burned or damaged by bandits,’ added the library director. The country has been ravaged for decades by poverty, natural disasters, political instability and gang violence.
