Port-au-Prince and its surroundings have been in turmoil since the beginning of this week. For reasons unknown, the gangs encircling the Haitian capital are displaying unwavering determination in their destructive acts. Currently, obtaining a comprehensive assessment of the deaths and injuries they have caused since Sunday in places like Carrefour-Feuilles, Tabarre, Croix-des-Bouquets, and other areas where they exert influence is proving challenging.

As if responding to a directive, the armed criminals operating in the lower Artibonite region remain active. Reports indicate a massacre orchestrated by the Gran grif of Savien gang in the area of Mowopèy, along National Route Number 1, on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, in the commune of Saint-Marc.
