Haiti police reopen road, bolster security in Carrefour Marchand

The National Police of Haiti (PNH) has reported progress in restoring security, announcing the partial reopening of the Croix Périsse road and enhanced security measures in the Carrefour Marchand zone and its surroundings. This operation aims to counter the activities of armed groups that have disrupted the region.

Specialized police units deployed armored vehicles to conduct continuous patrols and surveillance operations. Their objective was to strengthen control over the area and impede the movements of armed gangs. The police have also regained control of the Rigaud area leading towards "Point Rouge," a strategic location previously used by armed individuals for operations. Following the securing of the perimeter, agents returned to their posts at checkpoints in Carrefour Marchand.

Significant progress has been made in clearing roadblocks. Several barricades constructed from tree trunks between May 22 and 23 in the Carrefour Marchand area have been completely removed. Additionally, two barricades on the Croix Périsse road have been cleared. The police have stated that their forces remain mobilized and are continuing operations to remove larger barricades and further consolidate security in these critical zones.
