Haiti Church Attack Sparks International Response | Jamaica News
Description
A horrific gang attack in Haiti’s Kenscoff town has left at least 40 dead, with victims reportedly executed—targeting displaced civilians seeking refuge. This brutal assault underscores a spiraling crisis fueled by powerful gangs controlling vast areas of Port-au-Prince, committing killings, rapes, and kidnappings. The mayor called it a “night of terror,” while the Prime Minister expressed deep sorrow. In response, Chad is deploying 1,500 troops as part of a UN-backed force to combat violence. Haiti’s instability worsens amid a political vacuum: no elections since 2016 and the assassination of its last president in 2021, with a general election slated for December.
