Deteriorating security in the Artibonite: the RNDDH demands that the authorities protect the population
Summary: A department-wide account of the armed attacks recorded across the Artibonite, taken commune by commune: Gros-Morne, La Chapelle, L'Estère, Liancourt, Marchand-Dessalines, Montrouis and others.
Key Findings
- The report covers the Artibonite as a whole, commune by commune.
- Gros-Morne, La Chapelle, L'Estère, Liancourt, Marchand-Dessalines and Montrouis each have their own section of recorded attacks.
- Treating a whole department shows a pattern a single incident report cannot.
- The demand is on the authorities to protect a population the network says has been left to armed groups.
Full Description
The report presents the Artibonite and then works through the armed attacks recorded there commune by commune, each with its own section: Gros-Morne, La Chapelle, L'Estère, Liancourt, Marchand-Dessalines, Montrouis and the others. Taking a whole department in this way shows a pattern that a single incident report cannot, in a region whose rice-growing plain feeds much of the country. The network's demand is on the authorities, to protect a population it says has been left to armed groups.
