The crisis escalated dramatically in early 2024 when Haiti's most powerful criminal gangs forged a non-aggression pact and launched coordinated attacks on government buildings, police stations, hospitals, and critical infrastructure including ports and roads. The capital Port-au-Prince was effectively paralyzed. By early 2024, the violence had created a severe humanitarian crisis, with half of Haiti's population facing acute hunger and the government losing control of large portions of the country.

Researchers studying the group have found that their mobility is not simply a survival strategy but a deeply embedded cultural and cosmological practice — a way of being in the world that has persisted for hundreds of thousands of years. Their movement also serves to maintain genetic diversity and distribute cultural innovations across a wide social network.
