[Haiti] Violence against civilians: Attack

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Gang violence occurred in the Kenscoff-Fermathe area of Haiti's Ouest department on March 31, 2025, with armed groups firing shots during an overnight attack while local self-defense groups deployed to the zone. Casualty figures remain unknown.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether violence spreads to Haiti's limited port infrastructure or main transportation corridors.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation beyond Kenscoff-Fermathe that could affect Port-au-Prince's operational capacity
• Track whether gang activity expands to disrupt Haiti's already fragile logistics networks
