THE HAITI FACTOR, February 29, 2024._The Haitian capital woke up to a wave of tensions on Thursday, February 29, 2024. In fact, heavy gunfire was heard in the city center.
These detonations created panic in the vicinity of the civil prison of Port-au-Prince, commonly known as the “National Penitentiary” and around Collège Petit Seminaire Saint-Martial where students had to throw themselves in all directions under the bullets and tear gas.
At Carrefour-Feuilles, traders were forced to pack up in order to empty the places where they had displayed their goods. Also, many parents had to go to the premises of several schools to pick up their children.
At the Airport Crossroads, there is a parade of gangs in the streets enough to frighten passengers and pedestrians. The tension extends to Toussaint Louverture International Airport via Maïs Gaté, according to our information.
In the Plaine de Cul-de-sac, members of the population erected barricades using trucks and other means to express their frustration with the insecurity. These security measures were observed in Croix-des-Missions, Shada and Marin, among others.
While the country is under the influence of armed gangs, Prime Minister Ariel Henry parades this morning on the red carpet in Kenya, on the occasion of his participation
the high-level convention of the Sixth United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-6).
