    Haiti Massacre: Over 50 dead in gang rampage, dogs feast on corpses

    More than 50 people were slaughtered last week in a series of gang-led assaults in Haiti, according to a report released Monday by the National Human Rights Defense Network (RNDDH). The killings mark yet another grisly chapter in the Caribbean nation’s deepening security crisis. The attacks occurred on September 11 and 12 in areas north of Port-au-Prince, RNDDH said in a report shared with AFP. “As of September 14, 2025, several victims had still not been found, while corpses still lay in the bushes, devoured by dogs,” it said Haiti — the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere — has been consumed by spiraling gang violence. Vast sections of the capital and surrounding regions are under the control of armed groups. The situation worsened in early 2024 when a powerful gang alliance unleashed a wave of coordinated assaults, forcing then-Prime Minister Ariel Henry to resign and hand over power to a transitional presidential council. Efforts to restore order, including the deployment of a Kenyan-led multinational security force to bolster Haiti’s police, have so far failed to stop the bloodshed. RNDDH accused the “Viv Ansanm” gang coalition — which has controlled the town of Cabaret since March 2024 — of carrying out what it called an “extremely cruel massacre” in the neighboring town of Laboderie, about 25 kilometers (15 miles) north of the capital.Live Events According to the NGO, the attackers killed more than 50 civilians and set dozens of homes ablaze. Some survivors fled into nearby towns, while others risked their lives by escaping to sea in small boats. The UN has repeatedly raised the alarm over Haiti’s rapidly collapsing security situation. Secretary-General António Guterres warned last month that state authority is “crumbling” and that gang control has spread to more than 90 percent of the capital. On Sunday, Guterres condemned the massacre and urged nations to accelerate contributions of funding, personnel, and logistics to the Multinational Security Support mission. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights reported that at least 3,141 people were killed in Haiti during the first half of 2025 alone — a grim figure underscoring the country’s descent into chaos.Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!
