PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Police and palace guards worked Saturday, March 9, 2024, to retake some streets in Haiti’s capital after gangs launched massive attacks on at least three police stations.Guards from the National Palace accompanied by an armored truck tried to set up a security perimeter around one of the three downtown stations after police fought off an attack by gangs late Friday, March 8.
The problem for police in securing government buildings is that many Haitians have streamed into them, seeking refuge.“We are the ones who pay taxes, and we need to have shelter,” said one woman, who did not give her name for safety reasons.Another Port-au-Prince resident, who also did not give his name, described the massive attacks Friday.“They came with big guns. We have no guns and we cannot defend ourselves. All of us, the children are suffering,” said the man.
