Haitian civilians reportedly blocked exit routes used by Kenyan police officers in parts of central Haiti, fearing that their withdrawal could expose communities to renewed gang attacks as the Kenya-led Multinational Security Support (MSS) Mission winds down operations in the Caribbean nation.
Amateur videos circulated from Petite Rivière and Pont-Sondé showed crowds barricading roads and attempting to stop security convoys headed toward St. Marc and other exit points.
The situation reportedly forced the use of helicopters to evacuate officers from volatile areas after ground movement was deemed unsafe.
Early one Sunday morning last August, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police stopped a U-Haul truck just over the Canadian border. Inside the trailer, no larger than a small bedroom, were 44 people struggling to breathe, including a pregnant woman and a 4-year-old child. They were mostly Haitians, who had paid smugglers thousands of dollars to get them out of the country that they previously considered safe: the United States.
Many Haitian immigrants who have been living in the U.S. have chosen to undertake the expensive and treacherous process of crossing the Canadian border, rather than waiting to see if they’ll be deported by the Trump administration.

Deputy U.S. Secretary of State Christopher Landau visited Port-au-Prince on Friday on a last-minute trip during which he observed a shooting exercise involving members of the newly created Gang Suppression Force, which has yet to be fully deployed, and met with Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé.
Landau’s visit comes at a particularly difficult moment for Fils-Aimé and residents of the capital and surrounding regions, where armed gangs have been tightening their grip and expanding their control; the country’s long-overdue elections increasingly look unlikely to take place this year.
Depuis 1987, date de la tentative d’organiser les premières élections démocratiques en Haïti, les crises électorales avant, pendant ou après les scrutins, se sont succédé. Rares sont les élections sans crises et les crises sans une élection au bout des aventures. L’une nourrissant l’autre pour donner naissance à nos insatiables transitions.
Il est encore temps d’éviter la prochaine catastrophe électorale. Pour cela, il faudra de la pédagogie, de la simplification et des institutions au-dessus de tout soupçon. Pas d'approximation, pas d'omission, pas d’arrière-pensée.
La Force de répression des gangs (FRG) a annoncé qu’elle se trouve dans la phase finale de ses préparatifs avant le lancement de ses opérations en Haïti. Cette annonce intervient dans un contexte de détérioration continue de la situation sécuritaire, notamment à Port-au-Prince ainsi que dans plusieurs autres régions du pays, où les violences armées continuent de provoquer peur, déplacements de population et instabilité.
The force will be operating in Haiti’s volatile security environment amid intense political pressure tied to long-delayed elections, which remain uncertain, given that the foreign gang-fighting units are not expected to be fully deployed until October.
