Gang Coalition 'Viv Ansanm' Seizes Petion-Ville Neighborhoods
On March 27, 2026, armed gang members belonging to the 'Viv Ansanm' coalition launched a coordinated attack on the Laboule and Thomassin areas. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) tracked the displacement of 11,200 people over a 48-hour period. Residents fled toward downtown Port-au-Prince or southern departments to escape systematic looting and arson. This marks a significant expansion of gang-controlled territory into previously stable upper-income enclaves.
