“More than 260 people were killed during recent gang attacks on two communities in Haiti’s capital, according to a report on Monday by the U.N. political mission in Haiti that questioned the delay in the response by authorities. The report notes that during the first attack — in late January on Kenscoff, in the southern end of the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince — it took Haiti’s military, police and a U.N.-backed mission led by Kenyan police roughly five hours to respond. The report said authorities had received information about the attack and that the delay possibly underscored a ‘lack of alignment’ between Haiti’s National Police and the government.” (04/07/25)
