Less than twenty-four hours after the announcement of the probable holding of general elections in Haiti, no later than August 31, 2025, while Prime Minister Ariel Henry on an official visit to Kenya is expected to sign the missing agreement to allow the participation of Kenyan troops in the Multinational Security Support Mission, Port-au-Prince experienced a terrible day of violence.

The day began with an attack on the police academy premises, followed by gunfire on the Tabarre road. The American embassy had to restrict movements within its perimeter, which is located on the route of the bandits. All institutions located in the Tabarre district had to close shop.
