RANFOR issued a statement on January 11 calling for political dialogue to establish a consensual institutional framework for the February 7 CPT mandate expiration representing the third major civil society proposal in ten days but coordination remains absent despite convergence points. Vant Bef Info reported January 14 that gang leader Jimmy Barbecue Cherizier hideouts were destroyed by kamikaze drones with PNH announcing continuation of operations in Delmas Bel-Air and La Saline. IOM reported 5800 newly displaced persons in Port-au-Prince capital coinciding with PNH counteroffensives while the 37-day gang attack pause continues.
