Summary

On March 14, 2025, the Viv Ansanm gang carried out civilian attacks for two consecutive days on Christophe Boulevard in Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital. Gang members engaged in building arson, looting, and gunfire, forcing residents to evacuate, with the attack range spreading to the nearby Bas Peu de Chose area.

Supply-chain impact

• Port-au-Prince logistics network paralysis — Violence in the Christophe Boulevard area in the capital's center has blocked land transportation routes and made warehouses and distribution facilities inaccessible
• Reduced port and airport connectivity — Deteriorated overland access to Port-au-Prince port and Toussaint Louverture International Airport has delayed import-export cargo movement
• Local manufacturing operations suspended — Production and shipment disruptions inevitable for major export industries including textiles and agricultural processing
• Fuel and food supply disruption — Gang activity expansion threatens distribution network collapse and sharp price increases for essential goods

Watch points

• Gang territory expansion trends — Tracking Viv Ansanm's attempts to seize additional territories and power competition dynamics with other gangs
• Government forces response capability — Effectiveness of security restoration operations by Haitian police and international peacekeeping forces and scale of civilian casualties
