The metropolitan region experienced a tense day on Monday, December 2, 2024. The resumption of activities in several areas of the capital and its surroundings was disrupted by heavy gunfire resulting from clashes between law enforcement and armed gangs. Gunshots were reported in areas such as Lalue, Nazon, Carrefour de l’Aéroport, Drouillard, Tabarre 27, Route de Frères, and others.

At Nazon and Carrefour de l’Aéroport, reports indicate that members of the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) and the Haitian National Police (PNH) were engaged in confrontations with gang members. Nazon has recently fallen under the control of criminal groups who have taken to the rooftops of abandoned houses in the area to challenge law enforcement, according to a source. This contact told Le Nouvelliste that Nazon has become extremely dangerous, with a high risk of attack. "From Carrefour Samida to Carrefour de l’Aéroport, it has become a lawless zone," the source stated.
