In an audio message shared on social media on Thurs, Gran Grif leader Luckson Elan, who was sanctioned by the #UN last month, blamed the victims & state for the attacks, accusing residents of remaining passive while his soldiers were killed by police or vigilante groups.

"It's #PontSonde residents who are at fault. What happened in Pont-Sonde is the fault of the state," he said.
