Gang Seizure of Strategic Roads in Pétion-Ville Displaces Thousands
Viv Ansanm gang coalition fighters seized several critical maritime and overland routes near Pétion-Ville on March 24, 2026. The offensive involved house-to-house searches and the burning of vehicles, forcing 14,000 residents to flee toward the southern outskirts of the capital. UN monitors noted that the displacement was exacerbated by 'summary executions' of those suspected of cooperating with the police. Source: UN News and Associated Press.
