GENICHESK. TAVRIA. Over the weekend, March 2 and 3, Haitian gang members attacked the main prison in the capital Port-au-Prince. This is reported by the BBC. The article also mentions the recent storming of another prison, Croix des Bouquets.

The country has been plagued by gang wars since 2020, many of which want the resignation of current Prime Minister Ariel Henry. He flew to Kenya on Thursday to ask the country's leadership to send armed forces to Haiti. So last week, the leader of one of the gangs announced a storming of prisons.

Police officers were asked to help fortify the capital's main prison, but late Saturday night the complex was stormed. The militants acted in a coordinated manner. At least 14 people were killed in the assault and more than 4,000 prisoners escaped.

It is noted that some prisoners chose to stay in their cells fearing a firefight. The assassins of President Moïse, who was killed in 2016, also stayed in prison.
