Office says it will ‘mobilize all forces to track down and annihilate’ those responsible, including Wharf Jeremie gang leader Monel ‘Mikano’ Felix, whom it accused of planning the attack
Around 180 people were killed over the weekend in Haiti’s Cite Soleil area, Haiti’s Prime Minister’s office said on Monday, after attacks that an NGO said were ordered by a gang leader who suspected his child had been made ill using witchcraft.
RNDDH said Felix had ordered the violence after his child became sick, and after seeking advice from a voodoo priest who accused elderly people in the area of harming the child through witchcraft. The group said Felix’s child had died on Saturday afternoon. Tight gang control, including the restriction of mobile phone use, has limited residents’ ability to share information about the massacre.
A U.N.-backed security mission – requested by Haiti in 2022 and approved a year later – has so far just partially deployed and remains deeply under-resourced.
