• The 90% figure represents the situation in early 2026 (January-March 2026), not a static figure from the session date of April 29, 2026. The UN specifies that at least 26 gangs are involved, with the 'Viv Ansanm' coalition being the largest confederation. The data comes from UNODC reports and UN Human Rights monitoring.
