Viv Ansanm

Viv Ansanm is a coalition of hundreds of gangs operating in Haiti, primarily in Port-au-Prince, the Artibonite region, and central Haiti. The United States has recently designated Viv Ansanm, along with Gran Grif, as a terrorist organization. This designation is newsworthy due to the escalating violence and instability in Haiti, particularly the recent gang attack in the Artibonite region where at least 70 people were killed and 30 injured. The US is now offering a reward of up to US$3 million for information on Viv Ansanm's financial activities, signaling a more aggressive approach to combating gang violence and restoring order in Haiti. The US also offered possible relocation in exchange for information. Viv Ansanm's activities contribute significantly to the ongoing humanitarian crisis and political instability in Haiti, making them a key focus of international efforts to address the country's challenges.
