The National Police of Haiti (PNH) is boosting its presence in Cit\u00e9 Soleil with the establishment of a permanent base in Varreux this Friday, August 7, 2026. Inaugurated by the acting director general of the institution, Andr\u00e9 Jonas Vladimir Paraison, this new base is expected to better coordinate police operations against gangs in this strategic area at the northern entrance of Port-au-Prince. It should also make interventions easier and secure the passage of tanker trucks leaving the Varreux oil terminal, especially in a context marked by persistent insecurity in the area.Following an apparent calm observed in the neighborhoods around the Varreux Terminal, which had turned into battlefields where armed groups had been firing for over two weeks, the transport of petroleum products to gas stations in the metropolitan area has slowly resumed over the past 48 hours, according to the president of the National Association of Gas Station Owners (ANAPROSS), Marc Andr\u00e9 D\u00e9riphonse, who was invited this Friday, June 26, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“For more than a week, all activities were at a standstill at the Varreux Terminal due to clashes between two armed groups in the area. There has been some improvement over the past two days, and transporters have cautiously resumed their routes. Gradually, drivers will get back to work. Already, there is less pressure at gas stations,” said Marc Andr\u00e9 D\u00e9riphonse, stressing that to his knowledge, there have been no human casualties among petroleum product transporters. However, the president of ANAPROSS reported that material losses have been recorded in the oil sector, including the explosion of a truck following the impact of a projectile. He made it clear that the truck was empty at the time of impact.Regarding the Thor Terminal in Carrefour, the president of ANAPROSS stated that it is still operating. However, he pointed out that this terminal is unable to supply gas stations in the metropolitan area because of the road blockages leading to the Greater South and downtown Port-au-Prince. “The petroleum products that have arrived at this terminal are now destined for provincial towns. Transportation is done by sea. Boats carry the trucks to the South or to the North,” said Marc Andr\u00e9 D\u00e9riphonse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
