file 001 - Operation haitian extraction
Port-au-Prince erupts in chaos as armed gangs launch a coordinated assault on the National Penitentiary, releasing over 3,000 of Haiti’s most dangerous criminals including cartel enforcers, political assassins, and human traffickers. In the shadows of the crumbling justice system, a new order rises, leaving the streets ruled by fear and foreign interest.
In this premiere episode, Mr. Shareef takes you deep into the heart of the breakout uncovering intelligence gaps, U.S. security risks, and the potential for Haiti to become a playground for transnational criminal networks and hostile state actors. From the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse to the rise of notorious gang leaders like Barbecue and Izo, we trace the web of instability threatening not just Haiti’s sovereignty, but regional security.
Featuring leaked intel, historical context, and a classified look into who stands to gain this episode doesn't just report the chaos. It asks the question: Who’s really pulling the strings?
