The United States has offered a reward of up to $3 million for information regarding the financial activities of Haiti's Viv Ansanm and Gran Grif gangs. This reward, announced Wednesday, also includes the possibility of relocation for informants. Both groups, which control territory in Port-au-Prince, Artibonite, and central Haiti, have been designated as terrorist organizations by the US. This marks a shift from previous bounties focused on individual gang leaders. The aim is to disrupt the gangs' financial networks, as they have become more economically independent after gaining control over key areas. This initiative comes as Haitian security forces, supported by international forces, intensify attacks on the gangs.
