[Haiti] Strategic developments: Other

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Gang-controlled roadblocks and barricades were reportedly established around Mirebalais in Haiti's Centre department in early April 2025, following the Viv Ansanm Gang's takeover of the commune. The event is classified as low-severity non-violent strategic activity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether similar gang control spreads to economically critical areas of Haiti.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of gang territorial control beyond Mirebalais toward Port-au-Prince or other major population centers
• Track whether roadblock activity disrupts humanitarian aid flows or commercial transportation in the Centre department
• Watch for corroborating reports from independent news sources or international organizations operating in Haiti
