Haitians leave their homes in several neighborhoods to escape more gang ********* in the capital

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Gangs attacked in several neighborhoods of the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince on Saturday, forcing many people to leave their homes after gunfire raged through the night. Authorities did not immediately release casualty information.

Haiti’s police union said on its social media channels that the ongoing attacks in the neighborhood of Solino could mean losing control of the entire city to gang *********.

“If there’s no measures against the ********** who are taking control in Solino and Nazon, we will lose the entire capital,” Haiti’s police union said on social media platform X. “No government will be in its place if we cannot reduce such insecurity.”
