  • zReportage.com Issue #1035 Story of the Week: Published: TUESDAY April 7, 2026: ‘BREAKING THE CYCLE: Glimmer Of Hope For Haiti’ Photography and Story by ZUMA Press photographer David Allignon: Life has grown increasingly difficult in Haiti after years of political turmoil and gang terror. Dozens of armed groups run rampant in Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas, extorting businesses, kidnapping and driving farmers off their land. Gang leaders have historically used Vodou to solidify their power and manipulate communities through fear. Over 1.4 million people are now homeless, and deadly gang raids have left homes, schools and medical facilities in ashes. Plagued by systemic corruption and widespread gang violence, Haiti faces a deepening crisis that severely hinders economic development and stability. This situation is favorable to the gangs, who have gained power and autonomy. Now a UN-backed Gang Suppression Force (GSF) a more aggressive mission arrived in Haiti in April 2026, with 5,500 troops it aims to dismantle gangs and restore law and order. However fears of high casualties remain as escalations by gangs and the aggressive nature of the new force’s mandate begins. Welcome to ‘BREAKING THE CYCLE: Glimmer Of Hope For Haiti’
  • February 23, 2026, Port-Au-Prince, Haiti: MARIE-EDITH HENRI-JEAN-BAPTISTE explains that she must ‘ride’ with the spirits. ‘It’s not always me who decides. Sometimes it’s them. They fill me, and I have to let them out.’ Silently and meticulously, Marie-Edith prepares the ritual. Voodou (or Vodun) remains a cornerstone of spiritual, social, and cultural life. Far from being a ”relic,” it has seen a notable resurgence as a system of resistance and survival amidst the country’s ongoing humanitarian crises. (Credit Image: © David Allignon/ZUMA Press Wire)

  • February 18, 2026, Port-Au-Prince, Haiti: In the capital, Port-au-Prince, police officers patrol day and night to ensure the safety of residents and prevent criminals from carrying out violent acts (theft, kidnapping, happen almost daily here.). The threat is serious, and clashes are frequent. The police lack the resources to be truly effective, as evidenced by the state of the vehicle. However a UN-backed Gang Suppression Force (GSF), a more aggressive mission arrived in Haiti in April 2026, with 5,500 troops it aims to dismantle gangs and restore law and order.

NEW zReportage: ‘La Sape: Congo Fashion Rebels’

Scott Mc Kiernan presents zReportage.com Issue #1034 Story of the Week: Published: TUESDAY March 31, 2026: ‘LA SAPE: Congo Fashion Rebels’ by award winning ZUMA Press photographer Tariq Zaidi: The Congo Sapeurs are members of a vibrant fashion subculture ‘La Sape’ known for dressing in sharp, high-end suits in some of the world’s poorest neighborhoods. These ‘Congolese dandies’ espouse flamboyant outfits, impeccable grooming with a gentlemanly code of conduct. In early 2026, Sapeurs in Kinshasa gathered to honor Stervos Niarkos, often called the ‘father of Sape,’ who helped elevate the culture to a ‘religion’ of style in the 1980s. The Society of Ambiance-Makers and Elegant People (La Sape) emerged during colonial times when young Congolese began adopting and reimagining European attire. Many Sapeurs are ordinary working-class men, taxi drivers, gardeners, or bricklayers, who live in low-income neighborhoods. The DRC is one of the poorest countries in the world, where two thirds of the population of about 100 million people live on under $2.15 a day, according to the World Bank. Welcome to ‘LA SAPE: Congo Fashion Rebels’
