The municipality of Arcahaie is experiencing calm on this morning of Tuesday, November 3, despite ongoing threats, said Wilner René, the mayor of the municipality, invited to Panel Magik on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

According to Mr. René, the Haitian National Police (PNH) conducted an operation on Thursday, October 29, which resulted in the neutralization of around twenty bandits. Among them was the gang leader identified as 'Galaxy', who is said to be responsible for the massacre that took place in the locality of Laborderie a year ago.

In retaliation, the bandits, who received reinforcements, launched new attacks between Saturday and Monday, the mayor continued. They were only repelled thanks to the vigilance of PNH officers and members of the self-defense brigades in the attacked areas, he reported.
