The capital of Port-au-Prince has been known for about a month as a war zone, which opposes the police and armed groups.

The crisis continues to build as a decree on the appointment of members of the presidential council is published this week, which should be followed by the inauguration at the national palace, which is resisting the assault by armed groups.
