'The Haitian people are trapped in a living nightmare,' said U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, calling for a robust international force to help restore security.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called Thursday for a robust international force to help combat Haiti's armed gangs and restore, saying that a U.N. expert's estimate that Haiti needs up to 2,000 additional anti-gang police officers is no exaggeration.
O'Neill estimated that Haiti needs 1,000 to 2,000 international police with expertise in organized criminal gangs and their financing, as well as in kidnappings and urban operations. He stressed that the quality of the officers is more important than the quantity. "Port-au-Prince is encircled by armed groups that are blocking roads, controlling access to food and health care, and undermining humanitarian support," Guterres said, adding,"predatory gangs are using kidnappings and sexual violence as weapons to terrorize entire communities."
U.S. Secretary of State Blinken met Thursday with Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry at a summit of Caribbean leaders in Guyana, and reaffirmed U.S. support for the deployment of a multinational force. But Blinken said another country, not the U.S., would need to step up to play the"leading-nation role," AFP news agency reported.
