SUMMARY

The Forces of Micanor Altés, otherwise known as the Wharf Jérémie gang, was a criminal organization operating in Haiti. The gang exercised territorial control over the area for more than a decade and was responsible for widespread violence against the civilian population, including one of the deadliest civilian massacres recorded in Haiti's recent history.

The gang did not follow a formal political or religious ideology and was primarily driven by territorial control and criminal profit, operating in the Wharf Jérémie district of the commune of Cité Soleil, Port-au-Prince. However, the personal beliefs of its leader, Micanor Altès (also known as Monel Felix, Alfred Mones, "Mikanò," and "King Micanor"), played a notable role in shaping the gang's conduct.

The gang demonstrated the capacity to conduct large-scale, coordinated attacks on civilian populations within its territory, employing firearms as well as bladed weapons including machetes and knives.

Forces of Micanor Altés has been involved in the one-sided category of UCDP organized violence.
