[Haiti] Battles: Armed clash

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Armed clashes between police forces and gang coalition members continued for a fourth consecutive day in Mirebalais, Centre department, Haiti on April 3, 2025. The confrontations involved affiliates of the Canaan Gang and 400 Mawozo Gang, reportedly part of broader territorial disputes with local self-defense groups.

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 Haiti's limited port infrastructure or cross-border trade routes with the Dominican Republic.

Watch points

• Expansion of gang coalition activities beyond Mirebalais toward Port-au-Prince or other major population centers
• Escalation that could affect road access between Haiti's central regions and coastal areas
• International humanitarian or security response that might impact regional shipping lanes
