[Haiti] Battles: 무장 충돌

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Armed gang members in Haiti's Centre department reportedly fired on a government civil protection helicopter on April 2, 2025, injuring one police officer. The incident occurred as government forces were responding to gang attacks on Mirebalais that began on March 31.

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 activity spreads to major transportation corridors or port areas.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of gang activity beyond the Centre department, particularly toward Port-au-Prince or major transportation routes
• Track government response capacity and whether civil protection operations can continue effectively under armed threat
• Watch for impact on humanitarian aid distribution, which relies heavily on helicopter transport in Haiti's challenging terrain
