From Hope to Crisis: How Neoliberalism and Coups Crushed Haiti’s Dreams and Wrought Today’s Gruesome Havoc - Haiti Liberte

Sidenote:

I think the newspapers (including Haiti Liberté itself tbh) are doing a bad job of making this explicit in simple clear words, so let me try:

Since the 7th of February, Haiti's government has ceased to have any semblance of legal backing, from either its constitution, CARICOM or the UN. The Transitional Presidential Council never transitioned, the National Assembly is pretty much abolished and now "Prime Minister" Fils-Aimé wields total executive and legislative power despite never even being a member of the Assembly in the first place. The "government" is literally just some businessmen with a mercenary army, and for the USians out there who need to feel included to care, this is literally just a couple hundred miles off the coast of Florida.
