In a week marked by both conflict and cultural celebration, Haiti witnessed significant events across various sectors. On November 2nd, 2025, a major police operation targeted a gang led by ‘Jouma’ in the Simon Pelé and Village Solidarité neighborhoods. Elite units, including SWAT, UTAG, and UDMO, employed kamikaze drones to dismantle fortified gang positions, clearing strategic routes between Cité Militaire and Simon Pelé. While official casualty figures remain undisclosed, preliminary reports indicate numerous gang members were killed, alongside civilian casualties. Simultaneously, Voodoo practitioners celebrated ‘Gede,’ a ritual festival honoring the bond between the living and the dead through songs, offerings, and invocations. In Petit-Goâve, the discovery of five more bodies near the Ladique River raised the death toll from Tropical Storm Melissa to 36. On the diplomatic front, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced a photo exhibition at the Jean Price Mars Diplomatic Academy, showcasing Haiti’s diplomatic history from the League of Nations to the United Nations. In the arts, Prime Minister Alix Didier Gils-Aimé congratulated Yanick Lahens for winning the 2025 French Academy Novel Prize for her work ‘Passagères de nuit.’ Sports enthusiasts celebrated Fantastik’s double victory at the Super 8 basketball tournament in Cap-Haïtien, with standout performances from Marcelus Jimmy and Démis Devens.
