The deputy spokesman of the National Police of Haiti (PNH), Garry Desrosiers, confirmed the deaths but declined to give additional information about the murders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These areas are near the luxurious neighborhoods that house unsolved cases. The nearby P\u00e8lerin 5 neighborhood is where former President Jovenel Mo\u00efse was attacked in the middle of the night on July 17, 2021. The year following, the head of the Port-au-Prince Bar Association Monferrier Dorval was killed in his driveway. Even more recently in August is when Yvon Buissereth, a former senator who worked for the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, was also killed in Laboule 12.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The nation that was once the wealthiest in the Americas, now suffers from debt, violence, and political unrest following Mo\u00efse\u2019s assassination. His presidency became infamous for fraud allegations and his assassination. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/haitiantimes.com\/2022\/10\/06\/pm-henry-says-no-to-decreasing-haitis-fuel-prices-despite-havoc\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Haitian Times<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Prime Minister Ariel Henry claimed that he could not lower subsidies on fuel because it would take away from social programs like schooling. In rebellion, Jimmy Ch\u00e9rzier, former Haitian National Police officer and one of Haiti\u2019s most powerful gang leaders, effectively blocked the entrance of a primary fuel terminal in the capital Port-au-Prince.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nicknamed \u201cBarbecue,\u201d Ch\u00e9rzier managed to gain power in 2020 by creating an alliance with nine gangs. Today the alliance has since grown and is known as G9 Family and Allies. Since September, the G9 has maintained their block of the Varreux fuel terminal. They refused to leave until Prime Minister Henry stepped down. Since Haiti requested foreign troop deployment, Ch\u00e9rizier said he was seeking amnesty and the removal of warrants for himself and his allies, says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/world\/whos-behind-haitis-powerful-gang-alliance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PBS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Newshour<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/high-profile-haitian-politician-killed-apparent-gang-attack-reports-2022-10-29\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reuters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the United Nations is contemplating a strike force mission to confront gangs and reopen the terminal amid a cholera outbreak, scarcity of fuel and water, and families not being able to leave their homes in fear of violence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Laboule 12, specifically where Jean-Baptiste was shot in the capital, there are two rivaling gangs unrelated to the G9 that have been fighting over land. Both groups circulate primarily by foot and have been active for the past two years. Gang violence has killed many in Haiti, with Jean-Baptiste being just the most recent in a series of death, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/news\/nation-world\/world\/americas\/haiti\/article268023752.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Miami Herald<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even though Ti Makak, one of the two major gangs, is not directly tied to the fuel blockade, its swift rise illustrates how Haiti\u2019s gangs can evolve from random thieves to violent militias capable of disrupting the rule of law. Furthermore, it demonstrates how gangs have expanded their power since the 2021 assassination of President Mo\u00efse, and the difficulties Prime Minister Henry faces in restoring order.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/caribb\/764711784\">Caribb, Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, October 28, a Haitian politician killed upon arrival as his suburban home in the capital, Port-au-Prince. \u00c9ric Jean-Baptiste was a left-wing candidate in the 2016 presidential race who ran under the minor party Rally of Progressive National Democrats Party (RNDP), according to The Washington Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5441,"featured_media":12040,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2313],"tags":[560,890,974,1483],"class_list":["post-12039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2313","tag-haiti","tag-political-silencing","tag-journalism","tag-political-instability"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
