The assault took place in a key agricultural region, which has seen a surge in gang violence.

The gang members, armed with automatic weapons, stormed into the small town of Pont-Sondé in central Haiti at around 3 a.m. on Thursday.

Then they started setting houses on fire.“As people rushed out of their houses, they were shot,” said Ravina Shamdasani, chief spokeswoman for the United Nations Human Rights Office.

When the violence ended, at least 70 people — including 10 women and three infants — were dead, while hundreds of others ran for their lives, the U.N. office said in a statement.

      No one wants it

      Haiti and Canada are close as they are both Francophonie, we helped them in the past but people in our military couldn’t behave so we sat this one out

      We ensure the UN force was led by a majority black nation (Kenya this time)

      The use of gangs is odd but it’s not to colonize Haiti

      It’s likely because there are so many and their goals aren’t well known
