Gang members carrying automatic rifles stormed through a town in Haiti, killing at least 70 and forcing over 6,000 to flee.

More people were severely injured in the attack in the early hours of Thursday, October 3, at Pont-Sonde, in the agricultural region of Artibonite in western Haiti.

Gran Grif gang leader Luckson Elan took responsibility for the massacre, saying it was in retaliation for civilians remaining passive while police and vigilante groups killed his soldiers.

A video shared online shows pedestrians running for dear life alongside bike riders who were also trying to escape.

About 6,270 people had fled their homes due to the attacks, the U.N. migration agency said. Most of these are being sheltered by families living in nearby Saint-Marc and other towns, while others are staying in makeshift camps.

The gang members set fire to dozens of homes and vehicles, local authorities said.

"This odious crime against defenceless women, men and children is not only an attack against victims but against the entire Haitian nation," Prime Minister Garry Conille said on X, adding that security forces were reinforcing the area.

A spokesperson for Haiti's national police told Reuters on Friday evening, October 4, that the director of police in charge of the Artibonite department had been replaced.

"For now, reinforcements are at the location to contain the situation and security forces are in control," the spokesperson said.

"The gang did not meet any resistance," Bertide Horace, spokesperson from the Dialogue and Reconciliation Commission to Save the Artibonite Valley, told Reuters, adding that police officers remained in their station, perhaps thinking they would be outgunned by the gang members.

Many victims were shot in the head as gang members went house to house, Horace said. "They were left to shoot anybody, everybody was running everywhere. They were walking, shooting people, killing people, burning people, burning homes, burning cars."

Rights organization RNDDH said the death toll was likely higher as entire families had been wiped out.

"At the time of writing, corpses are strewn on the ground as their loved ones have not yet been able to recover them," it said in a report.

Haiti is only some miles away from US mainland but US will rather ship $3b worth weapons annually to Israel, rather than send soldiers to Haiti to bring peace.

Think about this
Send US soldiers to Haiti, so you'll have someone to blame for their troubles. You'll probably say they're trying to take over the country!

By the way, there are plenty of Haitian refugees and undocumented immigrants in the States, and they've been given enough gelt already. Fix your issues!

Haiti is another example why black people always trying to rule over themselves always amount to disaster.

Black people are actually mentally sub human.

All the stupid Blacks in Haiti are supposed to be driven out and their beautiful land replaced with sensible white people. And in the next 20-30yrs you will see how developed, beautiful and peaceful the land has become.

Haiti need a strong man or an extreme right wing leader.
Gangs only respect higher power, they don't care about the law.

Atrocity no dey complete without the deaths of women and children. The world doesn’t care. Everybody has his/her own problems. When them tire, them go relax. As the country no get natural resources, oyibo no send them. America ships weapons that way for subhumans in ape form to kill each other. Maybe the world will put pressure on the US to colonize whoever remains after the “war.”

Take a look at the countries around the United States does it reflect that they are enjoying any assistance from the US?

Maybe I need help, but I don't understand this obsession with reporting that children are among the dead. I think that the untimely death of any human is bad irrespective of their age. To Aljazeera, should Israel be killing only only men and women in Gaza? Who would take care of the children? When there's a war, everyone of every age dies. Haiti is in chaos and disarray, so why wouldn't some children die?
Re: Children Among 70 Killed In Haiti Gang 'massacre‘(vid) by Ruggedniggaone: 6:46pm On Oct 06, 2024
Their counterpart are in Gaza and Lebanon bombing and killing children everyday as if they are not human beings, may heavy wrath of God descend on Netanyahu and his soldiers including every bastards that supports his genocide against Palestinians,may all the baby killers and their supporters die a miserable death
