Powerful Haitian gang reaches out to state disarmament group as gunfights persist
The gang said dialogue is not capitulation and asked military forces to pause operations while it pursues peace talks, officials said.
- On Friday, 400 Mawozo reached out to Haiti's National Commission for Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration seeking dialogue for "peace, stability and national reconciliation," describing it as an "act of patriotic responsibility to preserve human lives."
- The gang expressed concerns about social media posts "targeting" the home of Joseph, also known as Lanm Sanjou, after Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele wrote on X, "Give us the exact address, and we'll destroy it."
- Referring to itself as a rebel group, 400 Mawozo plans a peaceful demonstration later this month, while more than 2,000 Salvadoran troops remain in Haiti following four aviation technicians' disappearance in Oct.
- Haitian Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aime announced late Friday that Mathias, leader of the Nan Boston gang in Cite Soleil, was killed amid ongoing operations.
- The gang stated it would be "beneficial" if all "relevant military forces" suspend operations pending dialogue, citing the Geneva Conventions and the Charter of the United Nations as justification.
