Haiti - FLASH : 3rd days of demonstrations, Violence, deaths and destruction 08/02/2024 08:04:22
Armed members of the Protected Areas Brigade (BSAP) who were traveling aboard a pickup in Laboule refused to obey the orders of agents of the Departmental Unit for Maintaining Order (UDMO), followed by intense exchanges of fire between members of the BSAP and the UDMO which caused panic among the population, 5 members of the BSAP were fatally injured and 3 others were arrested and disarmed. Weapons were seized, including an M4 rifle, an Uzi and a 12 gauge shotgun and ammunition. Let's remember that many BSAP agents have pledged allegiance to Guy Philippe in his revolution which he calls "peaceful". The situation is potentially explosive in the metropolitan region of Port-au-Prince. Hundreds of demonstrators accompanied a small group of BSAP agents who expressed their determination to accompany the population to overthrow the Prime Minister. The police on several occasions used tear gas grenades to disperse the demonstrators...
