Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 3, 2025, police forces and the Multinational Security Support Mission clashed with Canaan Gang and 400 Mawozo Gang members in Port-au-Prince's Tabarre district for a second consecutive day, reportedly killing at least 20 gang members as security forces defended police facilities.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether gang violence spreads to affect port operations or fuel distribution networks in the capital region.

Watch points

  • Escalation of gang warfare that could threaten Port-au-Prince's commercial districts and port access
  • International response from the Multinational Security Support Mission and potential reinforcement decisions
  • Spillover effects on humanitarian aid distribution and commercial operations in the metropolitan area
