Port-au-Prince, Haiti (McKoy’s News) – Blood on the hills of Kenscoff! Two elite officers from Haiti’s newly formed police unit were brutally ambushed and executed by ruthless gangs, in what authorities are calling one of the most brazen attacks on law enforcement this year.
According to confirmed reports, the officers were on patrol in the quiet farming town of Kenscoff—once a peaceful escape from the chaos of Port-au-Prince—when their armored vehicle got trapped in a ditch intentionally dug by criminal gangs. As they attempted to escape, heavily armed thugs launched a deadly assault, gunning down the brave officers in cold blood.
The gangsters didn’t stop there. In a sickening display of dominance, they posted videos online showing off police-issued boots, high-powered rifles, bulletproof vests, and even horrifying footage of the slain officers.
This shocking incident comes just weeks after another gang ambush in central Haiti left three officers and an informant dead—and one officer still missing.
GANG RULE TIGHTENS ON PORT-AU-PRINCE
Security experts estimate that gangs now control a staggering 90% of Port-au-Prince, turning the capital into a war zone. The once-idyllic Kenscoff has now joined the long list of communities under siege, as lawlessness spreads like wildfire across the country.
Sources say the slain officers were part of a specialized tactical unit deployed to protect the area. But with Haiti’s police force overwhelmed and under-resourced, the odds were tragically stacked against them.
INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE?
A U.N.-backed, Kenyan-led multinational security force has boots on the ground—but with fewer than 1,000 personnel deployed (of the promised 2,500), their impact has been minimal. Locals are now questioning if international intervention will ever be enough to beat back the gangs.
Meanwhile, over 1,500 people have been killed in the last three months alone, with 600 more wounded, according to the U.N. Nearly a quarter of those casualties are linked directly to gang violence.
“WE ARE UNDER SIEGE” – HAITIAN RESIDENTS CRY OUT
Residents of Kenscoff and surrounding communities are fleeing in droves, fearing for their lives as food supplies dwindle and health services collapse. Over 2 million people are now facing extreme hunger, with aid agencies warning of a full-blown humanitarian disaster.
