Haiti's powerful gangs are digging trenches, using drones and stockpiling weapons as they change tactics to confront the Kenyan-led police force deployed to wrestle back government control, a UN report said Monday.
The annual report said violence had spiked with more than 3,600 homicides and 1,100 kidnappings between January and June, and 85 per cent of the capital Port-au-Prince now ruled by the gangs.
