Dr. Jean William Pape, head of the GHESKIO centers and an internationally renowned Haitian scientist, believes, following the massacre announced and carried out by gangs in Kenscoff during the night from Sunday to Monday, that PNH officials and the government must be held accountable. “It is deplorable that the government, despite the multiple warnings about the active presence of the bandits and their control of the area through surveillance drones, did not deem it necessary, once again, to protect the population. It is time for PNH officials and the government to be held accountable,” Dr. Jean William Pape told Le Nouvelliste on Tuesday, August 25, 2026.

“I am more determined than ever to continue the good fight and to work to restore security in our deeply wounded country,” he said.
