Bendebaas in Haïti laat 180 mensen vermoorden na dood zoon 'door hekserij'
Volgens de VN heeft een gewapende bende in de Hatiaanse hoofdstad PortauPrince minstens 184 mensen vermoord. Dat heeft VNMensenrechtencommissaris Volker Trk vandaag gezegd, melden verschillende media.ppDeze laatste moorden brengen het dodental in Hati dit jaar op een ongelooflijke 5000 mensen. We moeten de wapenstroom naar Hati, Sudan en Myanmar stoppen, zei hij vandaag in Genve.ppLokale mensenrechtenorganisatie RNDDH wijt de geweldsuitbarsting aan een wraakactie van een bendebaas, meldt persbureau Reuters. De bendebaas zou van een voodoopriester te horen hebben gekregen dat zijn zoon betoverd was door hekserij en besloot daarvoor de daders te straffen. Voodoo is een erkende religie in Hati.ppHet bloedbad zou vrijdag en zaterdag hebben plaatsgevonden in Wharf Jeremy, onderdeel van Cit Soleil, de beruchtste sloppenwijk in de hoofdstad van het Caribische land. Bendeleden zouden volgens RNDDH minstens 100 mensen hebben gedood met machetes en messen. De meerderheid van de slachtoffers waren vrouwen en mannen ouder dan 60 jaar.ph2Stuurloos Hatih2pHati gaat al langer gebukt onder bendegeweld en armoede. Eerder dit jaar kwam het tot een grootschalige geweldsexplosie: gewapende bendes namen onder meer de internationale luchthaven over, bestormden de grootste gevangenis van het land en stichtten in de hoofdstad PortauPrince brand in onder meer politiebureaus en ziekenhuizen.ppNa de moord op president Mose van Hati in 2021 zijn er geen verkiezingen meer geweest in het land. Premier Conille kreeg na maanden van wetteloosheid en afwezig bestuur eerder dit jaar de taak om, samen met een negenkoppige overgangsraad, nationale verkiezingen te organiseren.ppNog geen half jaar na zijn aanstelling werd hij alweer ontslagen. Een reden voor zijn ontslag is niet gegeven.p
