Haitian Gang Coalition Threatens Mass Execution of Kenscoff Hostages

After raiding Kenscoff on August 23, 2026 — killing at least 47 and kidnapping over 50 — the gang coalition Viv Ansanm threatened to execute all captives if any gang members die during police efforts to retake the town. On August 27, police spokesperson Garry Desrosiers faced public anger over the force's failure to protect civilians, some killed near the local police station.
