Today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announces the appointment of VIV ANSANM and Gran Grif as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOS) and specially appointed global terrorists (SDGTS).
- VIV ANSANM is a group formed in September 2023 a gang coalition through an alliance between the two main gangs that operate in Port-Eu-PRINCE, G-9 and G-Pép.
- The groups provide a unified platform for criminal groups to use violence to destabilize Haiti and cancel the measures aimed at restoring state control. Viv Ansanm launched coordinated attacks on critical infrastructure in Haiti, including prisons, government buildings, and the main airport in Haiti in Port or Prince as part of a campaign forced, among other things, the resignation of former Haiti Prime Minister Ariel Henry.
- Gran Grif is the largest gang in the Artibonite section in Haiti, an area that includes many rice fields in the country.

Gran Grif attacked the Hayette National Police and the Us -Non -Presse -National Security Support Mission, including in the February 2025 attack that killed the Kenyan mission official.
Terrorist appointments offer entities and individuals, and to deny them access to the American financial system and the resources they need to carry out the attacks.
All property and interests are banned in the property of that designation today in the United States or in its possession or controlling an American person. The United States is generally prohibited from conducting business with sanctions.
People, including American citizens, who participate in specific transactions or activities with these entities, or these individuals themselves may expose themselves to the dangers of sanctions. It is worth noting that engaging in specific transactions with designated organizations today requires the risk of secondary sanctions, according to the anti -terrorist authorities. It is the crime of providing material support or resources on these organizations, or an attempt or conspiracy to do so. Moreover, terrorist appointments can help law enforcement procedures from other American agencies and governments.
Today’s measures are taken in accordance with Article 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Law, in its amended form, and the executive order 13224, in its amended form. FTO designations enter into force when publishing in the federal registry.
