OFNAC Installations Attacked in Kenscoff: Institution Reassures

The National Civil Aviation Office (OFNAC) has strongly condemned the acts of sabotage perpetrated against its communication facilities located in the commune of Kenscoff. Despite threats of arson made by armed individuals, the institution assures that national air traffic has suffered only a minor disruption.

In a statement published this Saturday, August 23, OFNAC's general directorate sought to reassure passengers and users: « Mitigation measures were immediately implemented to ensure the continuity and safety of air operations throughout the territory. »

While confirming that technical arrangements are already underway for optimal restoration of affected services, OFNAC affirms that air transport safety remains fully assured.

However, on the ground, images circulating on social media show a gang leader threatening to set fire to the Kenscoff base if no contact was established with him. In a second video, he is seen cutting the generator and beginning to disconnect cables, announcing his intention to act. This appears to be an exercise in direct pressure on the State, to obtain recognition or dialogue.

This reality contrasts with the official discourse. OFNAC's statement, although reassuring, leaves room for doubt: the State does not appear able to prevent these aggressions against strategic infrastructures, nor to show progress in avoiding further losses.

In a country where interdepartmental roads are blocked by gangs, forcing citizens or government officials to travel by helicopter or plane, this attack serves as a reminder of how far the Haitian crisis is from being resolved.
