Gang Leader Allegedly Orders Massacre of 110 Elderly in Haiti over Witchcraft Claims
Dec 9, 2024, 05:57 AM
Over the weekend, at least 110 people were killed in Haiti's Cite Soleil slum in Port-au-Prince, according to the National Human Rights Defense Network. The massacre, one of the worst in years, was reportedly ordered by gang leader Monel "Mikano" Felix, who targeted elderly individuals he suspected of causing his child's illness through witchcraft. The Viv Ansanm gang, led by Felix, attacked the victims, many over 60 years old, using knives. The killings have shocked the nation, highlighting the severe gang violence and instability that have plagued Haiti and displaced over half a million people this year.
