Haitians

The United Nations has extended the mandate of the international security force supporting Haiti's government by six months, following a new wave of killings attributed to gangs. The decision comes as gang violence continues to overwhelm Haitian police, with armed groups controlling large parts of the capital and driving displacement and humanitarian crisis across the country.

The Springfield Museum of Art has opened a showcase dedicated to a world-renowned Haitian sculptor, according to the Springfield News-Sun. The exhibition highlights the artist's work and brings international sculpture to the Ohio city, drawing local attention to Haitian art. Further details about the sculptor's identity, the show's dates and the works on display have not been made widely available.
