Haiti gang retaliation leaves at least 11 dead after security operation
The attack followed a security operation that killed three gang members and forced armed groups back from illegal toll points, officials said.
- On Monday, gang members killed at least 11 people in Haiti's central Artibonite region, burning homes in a retaliatory attack. Mayor Hubert Ceneac said "the bandits in retaliation attacked…they killed and burned homes."
- A Sri Lankan unit of the UN-backed Gang Suppression Force killed three gang members while clearing illegal toll points earlier that day, then returned to Gonaives after a few hours.
- Mayor Ceneac identified the targeted area as a stronghold of the Kokorat San Ras gang, which has expanded its reach beyond Port-au-Prince as Haiti's security crisis intensifies in the farming heartland.
- Rosy Ducena, head of the National Human Rights Defense Network, said the total death toll remains unclear. "However, we have already received a report of a single family that lost several members," she added.
- The UN-backed Gang Suppression Force faces a mandate expiration this week, with the UN Security Council scheduled to vote on the mission's future on Tuesday morning.
