Since 2019, during episodes of violence that have forced thousands of people to flee their neighborhoods, there have also been recorded invitations issued to the population by armed gangs to return home, based on the promise that they would no longer be attacked and that they would be able to go about their daily activities freely.
On August 22, 2025, a similar call was issued to the residents ofDelmas 30, Nazon, and Solino by the leader of the terrorist coalition Viv Ansanm, Jimmy Chérizier, alias “Barbecue.”
Today, theNational Human Rights Defense Network (RNDDH) considers it its duty to remind citizens of all the times when they became victims following alleged peace agreements made between rival groups or following the various invitations issued by armed gangs for them to return to live peacefully in their neighborhoods.
