Port-au-Prince, May 27, 2024 The security situation in Gressier continues to deteriorate as armed bandits, who took control of the town since May 10, set fire to an armored vehicle of the Haitian National Police (PNH).
The incident occurred on the morning of Monday, May 27, 2024, in the town of Colombier, located on National Road 2. This area is close to the CESRED school, where the attackers have set up camp since their arrival. Images of the burning vehicle quickly circulated, illustrating the growing violence and insecurity in the region.
Since the beginning of their occupation, the bandits have committed numerous acts of violence, making the situation particularly perilous for the residents of Gressier. The destruction of the PNH armored vehicle, a symbol of the authorities' strength and resilience, marks a new escalation of violence.
The HNP, already under pressure due to increased criminal activity in various regions of the country, must now face this new direct provocation. The loss of the armored vehicle represents not only a material blow to the security forces, but also a strategic challenge in their fight against armed groups.
Residents of Gressier and the surrounding areas live in constant fear and uncertainty, with daily activities severely disrupted. The fire at the armored vehicle is a stark reminder of the urgent need for authorities to regain control of the region and restore security.
Efforts to resolve the security crisis in Haiti continue, but the challenges remain immense. The situation in Gressier highlights the importance of a rapid and effective response to protect civilians and restore order in areas affected by gang violence.
