The situation in Haiti right now is heartbreaking. In the majority of the coverage I’ve read, these groups that have effectively taken over the country are described as “gangs.”
With something as widespread and seemingly organized as this, I would think these groups would be described differently. Any idea why?

If they categorize them as gangs changes the way the US is involved.
For example, in 2009 there was a coup in Honduras, but the US secretary of state called it a regime change to not be involved. As a result, thousands fled Honduras in those migrant caravans you probably heard about on the news.
