In a recent development, gangs in Haiti launched a new attack on the capital city of Port-au-Prince, specifically targeting the upscale community of Pétionville. The assault, led by the Viv Ansanm group under the leadership of former elite police officer Jimmy Chérizier, resulted in a clash with residents who bravely fought alongside the police.
Reports indicate that at least 28 suspected gang members were killed during the attack, with hundreds of munitions seized by the authorities. Eyewitnesses revealed that some of the gunmen were subjected to brutal retaliation by residents, including decapitation and mutilation of their bodies.
