One after another, the downtown institutions of Port-au-Prince are being attacked by armed groups. In just one week, there have been attacks on a container carrying banknotes, assaults on the Port-au-Prince port, the international airport, and the national penitentiary, to name just the major incidents. At the same time, police substations in Port-au-Prince, Delmas, and neighboring towns have been attacked, overrun, or set ablaze by heavily armed and determined young gang members. The Haitian National Police still resist. They fight on. Officers are injured. Others die. How Long Will it Last? How Long Will it Last? That's the million-dollar question. This Friday, March 1, 2024, only the region of Pétion-Ville and the highlands of the capital remained calm, yet filled with unease as everyone pondered the same question: How Long Will it Last??? The metropolitan region is experiencing unprecedented hours between the long-awaited arrival of the Multinational Security Support Mission and the encroaching advance of gangs, which grows increasingly oppressive. Civilians are caught in a fatal grip. As violence and fear reign, no one knows how to interpret the announcement of a meeting between political actors next week. Will there finally be an agreement between those who want to get rid of Ariel Henry at any cost and those who want to keep him at all costs? Haiti has spent months dancing on the edge of a volcano; today, the flames are licking at the feet of the dancers.
