9. Haiti (2004-present)
Haiti has faced persistent political instability, natural disasters, and institutional failures since 2004. The assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021 further exacerbated the crisis, leading to increased gang violence and economic decline. These challenges are reminiscent of other nations grappling with repeated catastrophes, where systemic issues hinder recovery and development. For a comprehensive analysis, refer to the Brookings Institution’s report on Haiti’s state of affairs.
