The locality of Bercy, located between Arcahaie and Cabaret, has been in the crosshairs of the criminal organization “Viv Ansanm” since November 18. According to the mayor of Arcahaie, Wilner René, the criminals—who already control the commune of Cabaret—are attempting to seize this final stronghold before reaching the City of the Flag. “Bercy is regularly attacked by the bandits from Village-de-Dieu. Thanks to the vigilance of the police, with support from members of the population, these attacks have been repelled. But the residents remain on high alert,” the mayor told Le Nouvelliste.

Wilner René indicated that the damage caused by these attacks is considerable. “We have already recorded nine people in the population wounded by gunfire, including two this afternoon. Several houses have been set on fire. Numerous residents have had to flee their homes,” explained Wilner René, calling on the central government authorities to pay greater attention to what is happening in Bercy.
