The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Albert R. Ramdin, has strongly condemned a brutal gang attack in Labodrie, Haiti, which left more than 40 people dead and many others injured.

“The massacre in Labodrie is an appalling violation of the most basic principles of humanity,” Secretary General Ramdin said. “No grievance, no political ambition, no criminal enterprise can justify the deliberate killing of innocent men, women, and children. This act underscores, once again, the urgent need to restore security, the rule of law, and respect for human life in Haiti.”

Ramdin called on all sectors of Haitian society—including political, economic, religious, and community leaders—to unite and engage in constructive dialogue aimed at curbing violence and restoring hope. He also urged international partners to provide urgent support to help Haiti address its security crisis.

The OAS reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Haiti in confronting organized crime, strengthening democratic institutions, and advancing solutions that reflect the aspirations of the Haitian people. This includes efforts to implement the Haitian-led Roadmap for Stability and Peace with regional and international support.
