Haiti - Security : Beginning of the Operation «Phoenix» in Port-au-Prince 14/07/2011 17:14:39
"Early today, we sent more than 2,100 peacekeepers into the neighborhoods of Cité Soleil, Martissant and Bel Air to disrupt criminal activity. Once our security operations are complete, MINUSTAH will be undertaking multiple CIMIC activities with the residents," said Maj. Gen. Luiz Ramos, MINUSTAH Force Commander. "These CIMIC activities include clearing debris and garbage from the streets, setting up dental and medical health care clinics, and engineering works and road improvements in Port-au–Prince." Lead battalions involved in Operation Phoenix include the Sri Lankan Battalion and the First and Second Brazilian Battalions (BRABAT 1 and BRABAT 2) but every unit (ground, maritime and air) were tasked in some way to support Operation Phoenix.  There should be no significant interruption of movement for the residents of Port-au-Prince, according to the military component Chief of Staff, Col. Steve Charpentier. The intent of Operation Phoenix is to assist the Haitian authorities in providing security and stability for the people in the Port-au-Prince area. "We want to show the population that MINUSTAH, according to its mandate, remains determined to fight against crime in Haiti, in support of Haitian authorities. Very importantly, we want to show the Haitian people MINUSTAH’s commitment to bringing them rule of law", Maj. Gen. Luiz Ramos underscored. "This will be a multi-day operation that is designed to provide long-term presence in these neighborhoods to reinforce trust and confidence between the residents, PNH and MINUSTAH", added Ramos.
