The massacre in Cite Soleil, where over 180 people were killed, is deeply tied to gang violence and personal vendettas, reflecting the state of chaos in Haiti.
Older residents suspected of practicing Voodoo were particularly targeted, indicating that the violence stemmed from a belief linked to witchcraft regarding a gang leader’s family tragedy.
U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, emphasized the brutality of the killings, highlighting the disturbing trend of gang violence and its devastating impacts on vulnerable communities.
The National Human Rights Defense Network reported that nearly 130 of the deceased were elderly, underscoring how vulnerable groups continue to be at risk in Haiti.
