Waandishi wa Habari wawili wameuawa kwa kupigwa risasi kisha miili yao kuchomwa moto na wahalifu katika Mji wa Cite Soleil wakati wakiripoti matukio ya vurugu yanayofanywa na makundi ya kihalifu.
Mji huo umekuwa na matukio hayo, makundi tofauti yanapigana ili kutawala, hali inayolalamikiwa na Wananchi ikionekana Serikali imeshindwa kuwadhibiti.
Waandishi waliofariki ni Tayson Latigue na Frantzsen Charles, miili yao haijapatikana, ambapo kulikuwa na Waandishi 7 waliokuwa wakiripoti wakati wa tukio, watano wakafanikiwa kukimbia.
Tangu kuuawa kwa Rais Jovenel Moise, Julai 2021 kumekuwa na mwendelezo wa machafuko mengi Nchini humo.

Haitian journalists killed while reporting on violence in capital
Two Haitian journalists have been killed while reporting in the country’s capital on the weekend, a journalists’ association and news outlets said, as deadly gang violence continues to ripple across Port-au-Prince.
The two reporters were fatally shot and their bodies burned on Sunday while they were reporting on violence in the impoverished neighbourhood of Cite Soleil, which has suffered from heightened gang activity in recent months. Their bodies have not been recovered.
The victims were identified as journalists Tayson Latigue, who worked for digital publication Ti Jenn Jounalis, and Frantzsen Charles, a reporter with FS News Haiti.
“We announce with great sorrow the death of our journalist and reporter Frantzsen Charles and another colleague. They were killed by bandits while reporting in Cite Soleil. We demand justice for our colleague,” FS News Haiti said in a statement.
Their deaths come amid rising violence in Haiti, where rival gangs have been battling for control of territory in and around the capital as instability worsened after President Jovenel Moise’s assassination in July of last year.
The reporters had been investigating violence in Cite Soleil, including the recent killing of a 17-year-old girl, when they were attacked on Sunday, according to a statement from Haiti’s Association of Independent Journalists.
“The journalists were just doing their job,” the group said. “They didn’t commit any crime.”
Dieudonne St-Cyr, a reporter with the association, told radio station Metropole Haiti that seven journalists were ambushed by two warring gangs. Five of the reporters were able to escape unharmed.
The association has called on Haiti’s government to address rising instability, calling the murders “further proof of the inability of the state to protect lives and property, which is nothing other than a violation of human rights”.
It also described the killings as a “villainous and odious act”.
