The Haitian National Police (PNH) announced that it had regained control of the Seguin sub-police station in the commune of Marigot, following the armed attack that occurred on the night of April 13-14, 2026. However, the situation on the ground remains critical. Residents continue to flee the area, reflecting a persistent climate of fear despite the police intervention.

During the attack, at least seven civilians were killed and three police officers wounded. The assailants also set fire to three vehicles and stole equipment belonging to law enforcement, inflicting significant losses on the police force.

While the Haitian National Police (PNH) claims to have deployed reinforcements to secure the sub-police station, it does not yet control the entire town of Seguin. Left to fend for itself, the population continues to flee, fearing further gang incursions.

This intervention has reignited criticism of the authorities' security strategy. Many observers believe the police continue to act reactively, intervening after attacks rather than preventing them. This approach is likened to a "firefighting" role, far removed from a structured and sustainable security policy capable of stemming the expansion of armed groups across the country.

In this context, the recapture of the police station appears as a limited victory, insufficient to reassure a population forced to flee and survive in uncertainty.

Demonstrators took to the streets of Jacmel, Haiti, on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, after attacks in nearby Seguin days prior

JACMEL — Hundreds of residents flooded the streets Wednesday to protest a surge in gang violence following the deadly attacks in nearby Seguin, which left at least eight people dead and forced thousands to flee.

The demonstrations, which began early in the morning, paralyzed much of Jacmel as protesters marched through the city center and the Sainte-Hélène, Lamandou and Aviation district — forcing schools, businesses and public offices to close as they made an urgent appeal to the police and judicial authorities.
