Threats are looming over the Péligre Dam, located near the commune of Mirebalais. Péligre is the country's most important electricity production center. According to the president of FESTREDH, the employees still present at the Péligre plant are working in a state of deep anxiety because of the presence of gang members in the town. While police officers have been deployed in the commune to repel the criminals' assaults, no measures have been taken to secure the dam, even as the gangs multiply their crimes in the area, lamented Mr. Felix, who fears that these criminals might break into the dam.

Employees at the Péligre Dam are suffering the consequences of the gangsters' invasion of the commune, as some of them have been unable to return to their homes. Others have seen their houses looted and vandalized. This situation is strongly affecting the morale of the employees working at the plant, complained Pierre Michel Felix, who issued an urgent call to the central government to secure the area.
