'Taliban' Gang from Canaan Attacks Arcahaie, Kills Truck Driver

The 'Taliban' gang, based in the Canaan informal settlement north of Port-au-Prince, attacked the coastal town of Arcahaie — roughly 30 miles north of the capital — on August 9, 2026, killing at least one truck driver. The attack extends gang reach further along the northern corridor of Route Nationale 1, threatening a route that has periodically served as a supply and displacement corridor for residents fleeing the capital.
