A gang massacre at a church and displacement site in Kenscoff killed at least 47 on Aug 25, prompting an emergency UN Security Council session. Kenscoff sits in the hills above Port-au-Prince, so this is territorial expansion beyond the capital and reverses the easing booked on 2026-07-20 for Gang Suppression Force gains.
Renewed gang attacks through August (farming-community attack Aug 24; dozens killed or injured since early August) against a Jan-June UN toll of 3,100+ killed and 1.5M displaced, while the GSF announced deployment plans into Cite Soleil and Artibonite. The GSF-gains improvement holds by a thread; December elections remain threatened.
The Gang Suppression Force asked the Security Council July 22 for a mandate extension through September 2028 with its first detailed roadmap; gangs still control ~85% of the metro area and are expanding into Artibonite, Centre and Kenscoff, with 2,000+ killed since January and ~1.5M displaced. Tempers the prior gains narrative: crime safety held at -9, no further improvement booked.
The UN-backed Gang Suppression Force pushed gangs out of several strategic Port-au-Prince locations and reopened some major roads - the first tangible security gains in months - against still-record 1.5M displacement and a hoped-for first electoral round before end-2026. Eased Haiti crime_safety -10 to -9 off the floor.
