HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The Pernier, Torcel, and Croix-des-Bouquets corridor has functioned as a contested buffer zone
between gang-controlled Port-au-Prince neighborhoods and government-held areas in Tabarre and
Petion-Ville since the February 2024 gang uprising that triggered the transitional government
formation. Previous PNH operations in this corridor have been primarily defensive with limited
territorial control objectives.
