Gendarme Nationale

Description

Army boots thud against station doors, personnel carriers growl into siege positions—Gendarme Nationale, Haiti's national police backbone, reels as Bazan's troops encircle outposts in Port-au-Prince's coup inferno. Vulnerable linchpin of civilian order, they face displacement amid Justice Minister arrests, Chief Justice lockdowns, and Dessaline's vanishing shadow, their authority evaporating under military blades while Oval Office fury brews evacuations and Marine surges.
