Haiti gang retaliation leaves at least 11 dead after security operation
The attack followed a security operation that killed three gang members and forced armed groups back from illegal toll points, officials said.
- On Monday, gang members killed at least 11 people in Haiti's central Artibonite region, burning homes in a retaliatory strike. Mayor Hubert Ceneac said, "The bandits in retaliation attacked…they killed and burned homes."
- A Sri Lankan unit of the UN-backed Gang Suppression Force killed three gang members earlier that day while clearing illegal toll points in the area. The force returned to Gonaives after a few hours.
- Mayor Ceneac identified the targeted area as a stronghold of the Kokorat San Ras gang, which is expanding its reach beyond Port-au-Prince. Haiti's security crisis is intensifying in the farming heartland of Artibonite.
- Rosy Ducena, head of the National Human Rights Defense Network, said the total death toll and damages remain unclear. She added, "However, we have already received a report of a single family that lost several members."
- The UN-backed Gang Suppression Force faces a mandate expiration this week, with the UN Security Council scheduled to vote on the mission's future this morning. The timing underscores pressure to extend authorization.
