Several gang members are feared dead after an intense raid by Haiti Police in one of the most dangerous neighbourhoods in the conflict-stricken country, days after a Kenyan officer was killed.
On March 1, Haitian National Police (PNH) conducted a thorough operation in the Delmas 6 neighborhood of Port-au-Prince, believed to be the stronghold of notorious gang leader Jimmy "Barbecue" Chérizier.
According to Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé who issued an announcement on X, the operation led to the deaths of several gang members. "The Task Force created by the government and the [Presidential Transitional Council] (CPT), in less than 48 hours, is already yielding results," Fils-Aimé's statement said on Sunday.
