Haiti - News : Zapping... 03/04/2025 11:42:26
In a notice, the Brazil Visa Application Center (CAVB) informs that due to the overall security situation, the CAVB will remain closed this Thursday, April 3rd, 2025. Any beneficiaries who may be impacted by this situation, beyond our control, will be processed at a later date once our operations resume. We hope to resume our normal operations as soon as possible. Large demonstration in Port-au-Prince On Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025, a demonstration took place in the streets of the capital. Starting from Canapé Vert Square, it was scheduled to end at the Villa d'Accueil, headquarters of the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT). Several thousand protesters denounced the authorities' inaction in the face of attacks by armed gangs, which are increasingly controlling territory. Several areas of Port-au-Prince were paralyzed. In Juvénat, Delmas, Pétion-Ville, and on Road de Frères, barricades of burning tires and stones were erected, preventing traffic and the smooth running of economic activities. Protesters were dispersed as they approached the Villa d'accueil using tear gas. "Government" helicopter hit by gunfire On Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025, while flying low over the commune of Saut-d'Eau due to poor weather conditions, the helicopter, leased and commissioned by Taiwan for the Haitian government, was flying towards Cap-Haiten and was hit by a 9mm caliber bullet. As a precaution, the helicopter turned back to return to Port-au-Prince. The damage was minor, and the helicopter will resume flights this Thursday, April 3rd. Mirebalais University Hospital on alert "Zanmi Lasante," the NGO that manages Mirebalais University Hospital (HUM), posted an alert on its X account. "The brutal attacks against Mirebalais threaten one of Haiti's most essential hospitals. If Mirebalais falls, the Haitian healthcare system risks collapse." Should be noted that the HUM has a capacity of nearly 300 beds and all the essential services of a tertiary hospital : internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, orthopedics, oncology, and receives nearly 400,000 patients per year. Pirate Attack On the night of Tuesday, April 1st to Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025, at around 1:00 a.m., a boat carrying a large cargo of rice, heading for the port of Port-au-Prince, had anchored near Mariani, hoping to find safety for the night, and was attacked by pirates. Alerted, the National Port Authority dispatched its speedboat and Coast Guard personnel. Upon their arrival, the pirates had left the area and two crew members were missing. The boat sailed to the port of Port-au-Prince and began unloading. According to a member of the Haitian Maritime and Navigation Service (SEMANAH), this type of situation is becoming recurrent given the lack of resources to effectively patrol the maritime zone. The Haitian National Police (PNH) recovers an armored vehicle In Mirebalais: The synergy between the Haitian National Police (PNH) and the population against terrorist bandits is bearing fruit. An armored vehicle in the hands of bandits was recovered by the police in the city of Mirebalais. Several bandits were fatally injured. HL/ HaitiLibre
