OAS Secretary General Condemns Gang Attack in Labodrie, Haiti
September 15, 2025
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Albert R. Ramdin, strongly condemned the brutal attack perpetrated by armed gangs 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,” said Secretary General Ramdin. “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.”
The Secretary General urges all sectors of Haitian society—political, economic, religious, and community leaders—to unite and engage in constructive dialogue aimed at curbing violence and restoring hope for the people of Haiti. He further calls on international partners to provide Haiti with the urgent support it needs to address the security crisis.
The OAS remains committed to supporting Haiti in confronting organized crime, strengthening its democratic institutions, advancing solutions that reflect the aspirations of its people, including through implementing the Haitian-led Roadmap for Stability and Peace with Regional and International Support.
