Haitian gang members perpetrated 24 attacks, leaving 84 dead

Port-au-Prince, Oct 14 (Prensa Latina) Three armed gangs in the Artibonite Valley killed 84 people in 24 attacks and massacres, a fact that demonstrates the lack of state control in this territory of the Caribbean nation.

According to the online newspaper Le Facteur Haiti, the perpetrators of these crimes are the Kokorat san ras, Grand Grif, and Taliban/Mawozo gangs.

The criminal acts occurred between January and September 2025.

In nine months term, no fewer than 84 people, including four Haitian and two Kenyan police officers, were killed.

The 24 massacres and armed attacks were perpetrated by criminals in 25 different towns and villages, located in eight of the 17 communes of the Artibonite department.

The National Network for the Defense of Human Rights, cited by the newspaper, condemned this situation, which demonstrates that the gangs are acting with complete impunity.

In this context, the police, the Army, and soldiers of the Multinational Security Support Mission are unable to stop them.
