In March 2024, armed gangs stormed the two largest prisons in Haiti, resulting in around 3,700 inmates escaping. The gangs demanded that prime minister Ariel Henry resign. The Haitian government declared a 72-hour state of emergency and a nighttime curfew in Ouest Department in an attempt to curb the violence and chaos.

Background

On 1 March 2024, Haitian prime minister Ariel Henry traveled to Kenya and signed an agreement designed to circumvent the Kenyan High Court's earlier ruling declaring the UN-backed operation to ensure Haitian security as unconstitutional under Kenyan law.[6]

Events

The Haitian government, under finance minister Michel Patrick Boisvert, declared a 72-hour state of emergency and a nighttime curfew in an attempt to curb the violence and chaos.[7] Jimmy Chérizier, the leader of the "G9 Family and Allies" gang in Port-au-Prince, claimed responsibility for the increase in attacks, and demanded Henry's resignation. Chérizier stated that the goals of the increase in attacks was to capture important government officials, including the police chief.[6] Many escaped gang leaders have joined the attacks,[8] fueling speculation that an alliance between rival gangs in the Haitian gang wars is forming to overthrow the Haitian elite.[9]

Chérizier released a video stating that he intended to prevent Ariel Henry from returning to Haiti with the operation. On 1 March, when asked if it was safe for him to return to Haiti, Henry shrugged.[10] Chérizier apparently had the backing of some other gangs as part of a coalition named "Viv Ansanm", Haitian Creole for "living together". Though that coalition was quick to dissolve, other gangs launched attacks, together with Chérizier's G9 gang.[11] On 1 March, gunfire at the airport caused damage to some of the airliners.[12]

On 2 and 3 March, armed gangs stormed the two largest prisons in Haiti, one in Croix des Bouquets, the other in Port-au-Prince.[13] More than 4,700 inmates escaped.[10] Police were reported to be undermanned and outgunned by the gangs, with only 9,000 operating in Haiti at the time of the fighting.[14] The gang leaders, including Chérizier, demanded Henry's resignation. In particular, Chérizier stated his goal was to capture Haitian government officials, including the police chief.[15] Over 12 people have been killed in the conflict.[13] The UN estimates that 15,000 people have fled the violence in Port-au-Prince.[15]

On 3 March, the Haitian government, under finance minister Michel Patrick Boisvert, declared a 72-hour state of emergency and a nighttime curfew in an attempt to curb the violence and chaos.[16] The government noted "increasingly violent criminal acts" throughout Port-au-Prince, including vandalism, kidnapping and murder.[17] According to the United Nations, gangs now control around 80% of Port-au-Prince.[10] On 3 March, the Sylvio Cator Stadium was occupied and vandalized by armed gangs.[18]

On 4 March, at around 1 p.m. local time, armed gangs attacked the heavily fortified Toussaint Louverture International Airport, exchanging gunfire with police and the Haitian Armed Forces, in an attempt to take control of the facility after rumors that Henry would return to Haiti,[19] fueling speculation that an alliance between rival gangs is forming to overthrow the Haitian elite.[20] In particular, Johnson André, the leader of the 5 Seconds gang, appeared to be linked to the attacks.[10] Other gang leaders, including Guy Philippe, reportedly will try to take over the presidency of Haiti.[21] Flights were grounded as the airport was shut down. The Stade Sylvio Cator[17] and national bank[16] were attacked. Other public institutions, including schools and banks, have been closed.[22]

On 5 March, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres stated his desire for “urgent action, particularly in providing financial support for the multinational security support mission”.[23] Later that day, Henry landed at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in Puerto Rico in an attempt to return to Haiti to control the violence.[22] There was another reported jailbreak on 5 March, leading to the death of three inmates. Haitian police were able to stop attempts at escape.[24][25]

On 6 March, a police station in Bas-Peu-de-Chose was attacked and burned down by gangs.[26] The privately-owned Caribbean Port Services (CPS) terminal at the Port international de Port-au-Prince, notable for its key role in providing food and supplies, was also attacked and looted, resulting in port operations being suspended indefinitely.[27]

On 7 March, the state of emergency in the Ouest Department, including a nightly curfew and bans on protests, was extended from three days to a month (3 April).[26]

On 8 March, gangs attacked two police stations near the National Palace,[28] as well as the palace itself,[29] and burned down the interior ministry.[30] The security perimeter around Toussaint Louverture International Airport was breached by gangs, while gunfire was heard throughout Port-au-Prince.[31]

On 9 March, gangs attacked and occupied the headquarters of the Institute of Social Welfare in Port-Au Prince, while the government of the Dominican Republic announced plans to evacuate its officials and citizens from Port-Au-Prince.[32][33] A large counteroffensive against the gangs was launched by the Haitian police force in the later hours of the night after three more police stations were attacked and burned down, with reports coming in that multiple Haitian police cars were stolen and are now patrolling the area.[34][35]

On March 10, the United States evacuated its nonessential staff from its embassy in Port-au-Prince via helicopter, while adding additional marine corps to the embassy to defend it. [36] The German embassy as well was evacuated by elements of the Dominican Republic Airforce. [37] Elon Musk announced he would be providing Starlink to Haiti as well in light of the recent chaos going on. [38] The Prime Minister of Jamaica announced that on Monday March 11th, representatives from 8 nations, including France, Canada, and the United States will meet in Kingston, Jamaica to discuss the ongoing violence. [39]

On March 11, CARICOM Launched an emergency meeting to discuss the situation in Haiti [40], Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindik of Kenya also announced that it's police officers are currently in pre-deployment phase, being ready to deploy to Haiti [41] However, the police force has still not been given a date for when it will deploy, which has caused a lot of international pressure from the United States and multiple meetings between the United States and Kenya over the deployment, [42] with one being held on March 11 between Kenyan President Ruto and Secretary Antony Blinken Toussaint Louverture International Airport has been closed according to the Canadian Embassy in Haiti [43]

Misinformation

Several right wing social media accounts, such as Ian Miles Cheong [44] and newspapers [45] have spread around reports of cannibal gangs in Haiti eating the dead bodies of those they have killed. As of March 10 2023, there has been no confirmed reports of cannibalism in Haiti nor photographic evidence. This has not stopped multiple media outlets from reporting this along with Twitter CEO Elon Musk replying to these reports as well [46] The news article where this information came from is the UK newspaper the Star, with an article written by Adam Cailler. The article itself provides no source or evidence for said claims but instead provides a link to another newspaper, the Daily Express US [47] which itself provides no video evidence to this, nor any photographic evidence as well. However, this information is now widespread over the internet. Multiple videos claiming to show cannibalism have been reported and spread around X (formerly Twitter) however, none of these videos can be independently verified. Reports of an American-led Invasion have also been reported across multiple social media platforms as well, however, the United States has stated that it will not deploy it's armed forces to Haiti and will instead deploy small teams of Marines to defend the embassy in Haiti. [48] Other misinformation includes blaming Haiti's small Jewish population on the destruction of the island [49]

Humanitarian crisis

Due to violence in Haiti, social services such as food, water, and medical, have all experienced a complete collapse, with medical staff being too scared to leave their homes and aid organizations being unable to gain access to people in need. [50] Multiple hospitals have been raided as well by gangs, thus causing a shortage of medical requirement in the capital. [51]

Evacuation of embassies and foreign nationals

As of 2024, there are over 45,000 Americans and other foreign nationals currently working and living in Haiti. Multiple countries including the United States and Cuba have issued warnings to their citizens to leave the country as soon as possible.[52]

The Dominican Republic is currently devising plans for the evacuation of its citizens and others in Haiti as of now. [53]
