The Mayor of Kenscoff, Massillon Jean
Kenscoff, 3 December 2025.- On the night of 30 November to 1 December, Kay Jack, located in the area of New Tourraine in Kenscoff and connecting the commune to the south-east, was the scene of a massacre. Several people were murdered, others reported missing, and about ten houses burned down, according to Mayor Massillon Jean. It warns about the lack of consolidation after police operations, allowing gangs to resume their activities.
The mayor of Kenscoff, speaking on Magik 9 this Wednesday, December 3, confirmed the violent attack. Several inhabitants were killed, others were not found, and about ten houses were destroyed by the flames. This area, which is strategic for the movement of people and goods between Kenscoff and the South East, remains particularly vulnerable.
Police operations without lasting effects
Quelques jours plus tôt, une opération de deux jours menée par la Police nationale d’Haïti (PNH) avait permis de reprendre plusieurs zones contrôlées par les gangs, notamment Bellot, où plusieurs malfrats avaient été tués dans des échanges de tirs. Mais selon le maire, ces avancées manquent de suivi : « À chaque fois que la PNH récupère une zone contrôlée par les gangs à Kenscoff, il n’y a pas de consolidation. Les criminels reviennent, et c’est la population qui en paie les frais « , a-t-il déploré.
A call to the central state
In the absence of a sustainable presence of the police, the inhabitants are exposed to a spiral of violence. The mayor called on the central state to strengthen the stabilization of the areas recovered in order to protect the population and prevent further drama.
