Dozens killed in Haiti's capital as armed men break away from gang coalition in bid for power
A human rights group says dozens of people in Haiti’s capital have been killed in a clash between a powerful gang coalition and armed men who apparently broke away from it. The Committee for Peace and Development said Tuesday that 10 children are among the victims. It said that also killed was Dèdè, one of the highest ranking gang members that operates in the Bel-Air slum of Port-au-Prince. He was beheaded, while powerful gang leader Kempes Sanon, a former police officer. It wasn’t immediately clear how seriously Sanon was injured. Many worry the attack that began in recent days will unleash even more violence in a city already 90% controlled by gangs.
