Gunmen have tried to kill Haiti’s prime minister, Ariel Henry, following threats from gangs. The premier escaped unscathed, however, one person was reportedly killed, and two more injured in the shooting.
Henry was visiting the northern city of Gonaives on Saturday, as the country marked the 218th anniversary of its independence. According to the prime minister’s office, he was leaving a church when “bandits and terrorists” opened fire on him and his security detail.
Footage circulating on
social media appears to show the moment of the attack: the politician
and his bodyguards are seen ducking for cover at the sound of gunfire
and making a dash for a nearby vehicle.
