Suspected gang members were killed during an attack on the Petion-Ville neighborhood on the southern outskirts of Haiti’s capital, as a clash with police and locals pointed to a resurgence of vigilante justice while the state remains absent. The latest outburst of violence comes as the political future of the crisis-racked Caribbean island nation hangs in limbo. A Reuters reporter saw two suspected gang members, including a leader known as Makandal, killed and set on fire.
Residents there barricaded themselves inside their homes while armed men had carried out fresh attacks east of the city. Petion-Ville is close to hotels that gang leader Jimmy “Barbeque” Cherizier threatened last week, saying he would go after hotel owners hiding old-guard politicians.
