The president of the Union of Visionary Planters for the Development of Artibonite (SPVDA), René Charles, calls for the rapid deployment of Kenyan police officers in the Artibonite valley to dismantle the “Gran-Grif” gang, active in Savien. Between Sunday June 23 and Tuesday June 25, at least 8 people were kidnapped and several trucks were hijacked on national road number 1.
It is a real ordeal for the inhabitants of Artibonite with the presence of the “Gran-Grif” gang, which is increasing its abuses against the civilian population. Over the past 72 hours, at least 8 people have been kidnapped and several trucks have been hijacked by bandits led by gang leader Luckson Élan, on national road number 1 near Moreau-Paye, according to the president of the SPVDA , René Charles.
The kidnappers demanded several million dollars in exchange for the release of the hostages, the unionist laments. According to available information, users trying to go to the Dominican Republic were confronted by a group of heavily armed men lying in ambush on national road number 1, near the town of Carrefour-Paye. The trucks transporting the hostages were hijacked, the unionist specifies.
Less than 24 hours after the initial deployment to Port-au-Prince of Kenyan troops engaged in the Multinational Security Support Mission (MMSA), civil society in Bas-Artibonite is mobilizing against the criminal centers sowing terror in the valley of Artibonite. During an interview given to Radio Kiskeya this Wednesday, the head of the SPVDA, René Charles, underlines the need for urgent intervention in the stronghold of “Gran-Grif” to neutralize the criminals of Savien.
