“We are in the war.” The words of the head of the Transitional Council, Fritz Alvis Jean, collected by the Haiti press, do not leave a great room for the interpretation about what is happening on the island of Caribbean. On Monday, March 31, the “Vivre Ensamp” coalition attacked the Mirebalais suburb, about sixty kilometers from Purto Príncip, and despite the intervention of the security forces, it still maintains control of the city.
The population, prey to panic, continues to flee the city, and asked for a shelter in neighboring cities. The wave of violence has been pushed so far with the death of five people, including two monk from the Santa Teresa Medal, who confirmed his identities by the Archbishop of Metropolitan Puerto Principe, and Max Leroy Maysidor, who knew it as Evanit Osir and Jin Voltaire. The brutal murders that remember the killing of the Luisa Delorto Wall in 2022 and the kidnapping of six other nuns, were later released, in January 2024.
Assault on Mirebalais
The violent attack launched by the gangs against Marsabis, the city of 200,000 people, is not the first of this kind and is considered revenge against the transitional council attempt to suppress the phenomenon of teams. The members of the “Vivre”, as in the past, attacked Mirebalais Prison, where they launched at least five hundred prisoners.
According to the Haiti newspaper in Haiti newspaper, at least thirty sectors died in clashes with the national police. Mirebalais is a very important center on the island because it includes the university hospital, and it is more attractive in the Caribbean country, able to provide health care for thousands of people every day. The city also has strategic importance, because it is located at the main road crossroads in Haiti: one leads from the capital to the northern coast and the other to the Dominican Republic.
United Nations invitation
The violence, which still stains Haiti’s blood, also caused the reaction of the Secretary -General of the United Nations, who urged the authorities to double their efforts, with the support of the international community, to restore security and protect civilians and create the conditions necessary to restore democracy.
But it seems that the information provided by the United Nations human rights employee in Haiti and William O’Neill does not leave much hope in this regard: “There are currently no safe ways to enter or leave the capital, except for the helicopter. The difference has dominated full neighborhoods, killing, and disappointing, schools, schools, and schools,”.
Demonstrations in the capital
One of the situation outside the control led to the pushing of thousands of people to protest on Wednesday in the streets of Puertoin Principe to demand the resignation of the government’s alliance from Alex Didier Felis and accused of his inability to guarantee the country.
The difficult police reaction against the demonstrators caused new violence and armed attacks against the headquarters of the Prime Minister and the Transitional Council. According to the data collected by the United Nations between July last year and February 2025, more than 4,200 people were killed in Haiti, while six thousand others were forced to flee to leave their homes.
