#Haiti - Massacre at Wharf Jérémie: Death toll now reaches 300, testimonies from a former soldier from Micanor
Unprecedented carnage is shaking Wharf Jérémie in Cité Soleil, where gang leader Micanor continues to sow terror among the civilian population. According to Isaïe Bauchard, former mayor of Cité Soleil, the death toll from the massacres perpetrated by this gang now stands at 300. Last Tuesday and Wednesday alone, some fifty people were reportedly killed.
These brutal executions, ordered by Micanor, are said to be aimed at punishing those he accuses of having transmitted information to the media about the previous killings, reports Ayibopost .
Among the poignant testimonies, that of a 17-year-old boy, a former soldier of the gang, illustrates the horror of the methods used. Forced by Micanor to burn down his own mother's house, he refused and fled. In retaliation, the gang burned down the house themselves, with the boy's entire family inside. His mother, his 14-year-old sister - pregnant at the time - and other members of his family perished in the flames.
Former Mayor Bauchard, who collected the testimony of the fleeing teenager, denounces an escalation of inhuman violence. The situation at Wharf Jérémie illustrates the dramatic deterioration of living conditions in Cité Soleil, where gangs operate with impunity, leaving civilians at the mercy of indescribable violence.
The authorities remain silent in the face of these atrocities, and calls for help from residents seem to fall on deaf ears. This massacre calls for urgent intervention to protect vulnerable populations and restore some semblance of order in this devastated area.
