The Transitional Presidential Council and the Prime Minister's Office Express Solidarity with Vladimir Paraison

In a statement published on the official presidential accounts dated February 27, 2025, the Transitional Presidential Council and the Prime Minister's Office expressed their solidarity with presidential security coordinator Vladimir Paraison, who was shot during an operation conducted the day before by the Haitian National Police in Champ de Mars.

Shot in the leg, Inspector General Paraison's life is not in danger, the statement specifies.

The two heads of the executive branch « deplore this incident, which only strengthens their determination to involve specialized units, the armed forces, and the Haitian National Police in order to restore security and allow the population to go about their daily lives freely. »

According to the statement, the intervention was part of reinforced actions by the special security Task Force, established by the authorities to support law enforcement in their fight against armed gangs spreading terror across the country.

The executive also took the opportunity to reiterate its commitment to provide security forces with the necessary equipment to continue the fight against insecurity that hinders national development.

For several days, several neighborhoods in Port-au-Prince have faced a resurgence of violence. Now, it's no longer Kenscoff but rather Delmas 30, Carrefour de l'aéroport, and Tabarre that are under gang control. The population no longer knows where to turn, as the resistance of the security forces is still struggling to yield tangible results.
