[Haiti] Battles: 무장 충돌

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Police forces clashed with Viv Ansanm Gang members overnight around Kenscoff police station in Haiti's Ouest department on April 17, 2025, forcing local residents to flee. The confrontation occurred when gang members attempted to attack areas around the police station and nearby Carrefour Maroca area before being repelled by security forces.

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 clashes spread to areas with critical infrastructure or transport routes serving the capital region.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of gang activity beyond the immediate Kenscoff area, particularly toward main transport arteries serving Port-au-Prince
• Track population displacement patterns that could indicate broader deterioration in security conditions across Ouest department
