Thousands Protest in Haiti Against Rising Gang Violence
In a powerful display of public discontent, thousands of Haitians took to the streets on April 3, 2025, to protest the escalating gang violence that has gripped the nation. Demonstrators marched through Port-au-Prince and other cities, demanding action from the government to curb the surge in criminal activities that have led to increased insecurity and fear among the population.
The protests come in the wake of reports highlighting the smuggling of guns into Haiti, which has fueled the power of local gangs. The situation has deteriorated to the point where daily life is severely disrupted, with gangs controlling significant portions of the capital and other urban areas. The protesters, waving banners and chanting slogans, called for international assistance and a stronger response from Haitian authorities to dismantle these criminal networks.
The international community has expressed concern over the situation, with calls for more robust measures to support Haiti in its fight against gang violence. The protests underscore the urgent need for a comprehensive strategy to address not only the immediate security challenges but also the underlying socio-economic issues that contribute to the rise of gangs in Haiti.
