P-au-P, 22 from 2024 [AlterPresse] — The area of the police sub-station in Martissant (south of the capital, Port-au-Prince) was once again subject to acts of vandalism by armed bandits on the evening of Tuesday, May 21 2024, according to information gathered by the online agency AlterPresse.
Images circulating on social media show the seriously damaged parts of the building, under the control of armed gangs since June 2021.
On the night of Friday May 17 to Saturday May 18, 2024, the gang 400 Marozodestroyed, using an excavator, the police station of the Croix-des-Bouquets civil prison (north-east of Port-au-Prince).
The women’s prison in Titanyen (Cabaret, more than 30 km north of Port-au-Prince), abandoned for several months, was also destroyed by armed bandits.
On Tuesday May 21, 2024, the Cesselesse police substation (Lilavois, Bon Repos, north) was set on fire by thugs.
These attacks against police stations and sub-stations occur in a context of acceleration of the deployment process of the Multinational Security Support Mission (Mmas) not Haiti.
A delegation of Kenyan officials arrived on Monday May 20, 2024 in Haitiwith a view to inspecting the construction of the base to host the Mmas, not far from the international airport of Port-au-Prince, indicated the American newspaper Miami Herald.
International and national airline flights have been canceled at Port-au-Prince international airport, following attacks by armed bandits since Thursday February 29, 2024.
But, international and national commercial flights have resumed, since Monday, May 20, 2024, at Port-au-Prince international airport.
Created by Resolution 2699 of the Security Council of the United Nations (UN), the Mmas should be deployed in Haiti before the end of May 2024.
Having been authorized by the United Nations Security Council since Monday October 2, 2023, the deployment of the Mmas in Haiti follows a robust request for assistance, formulated on Friday October 7, 2022, by the de facto government of Ariel Henry in favor of the Haitian National Police (PNH), in the fight against armed gangs.
Haiti, through the Haitian National Police, will have overall control over the operations, on the ground, of the Multinational Security Support Mission (Mmas)underlined the Presidential Transitional Council (Cpt), in a note published on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, following a working session with the High Staff of the Haitian National Police (Pnh).
Whether it is the composition, objectives, rules of engagement and health control of the troops, everything will be coordinated and supervised by the Haitian police authorities, according to Cpt.
During the meeting on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, the Cpt spoke with the ad interim director general of the Pnh, Frantz Elbé, and members of the hierarchy of the police institution around the operationalization of the Mmas. [emb rc apr 22/05/2024 13:25]
