[Haiti] Battles: 무장 충돌

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Armed clashes occurred in Mirebalais, Centre department, Haiti on April 1, 2025, as police forces and local self-defense groups battled gang members from the Canaan Gang and 400 Mawozo Gang in what appears to be part of a broader Viv Ansanm Gang offensive. The fighting involved gangs occupying building rooftops and engaging security forces for a second consecutive day.

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 major population centers or transportation corridors connecting Haiti to regional trade routes.

Watch points

• Monitor whether gang violence spreads beyond Mirebalais to major urban centers like Port-au-Prince, which could disrupt remaining commercial activity and humanitarian aid flows
• Track international responses, particularly from neighboring Dominican Republic or CARICOM members, which could affect regional movement of goods and people
