Haiti gangs shift operations into countryside, report says

Gangs in Haiti are spreading from Port-au-Prince into rural areas, using hit-and-run raids, kidnappings, cattle theft and roadblocks.
A recent deadly assault near the capital (Kenscoff) involved mass kidnapping and shows these groups are increasingly mobile and violent.
Key farming regions like Artibonite are being targeted, and experts say responses must go beyond security to protect farmers and rebuild local economies.
