Haiti - Insecurity : The UN Secretary General in Jamaica to discuss the Haitian crisis 15/05/2023 08:23:01
In addition to the impact of the climate crisis in the Caribbean region, the global framework for disaster risk reduction and financing for development, the two leaders will also discuss the situation in Haiti and how to involve more strongly the international community according to the statements of Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for Guterres Almost 2 years after the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-34162-haiti-flash-president-jovenel-moise-assassinated-by-mercenaries-official-updated-7am-+-video.html , Haiti is in the grip of growing chaos with hunger and cholera spreading everywhere and armed gang violence and kidnappings on the rise https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-39498-haiti-flash-binuh-alarmed-by-the-increase-of-more-than-28-in-violence-in-the-1st-quarter.html There are now also mass killings and lynchings of suspected gang members by the population of which 164 cases were documented in April 2023, according to the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH) In recent days, specialized units of the National Police of Haiti (PNH) have been carrying out several anti-gang operations aimed at regaining control of certain areas, in particular in Martissant and Portail Léogâne south of the capital and which are under the control of the gangs for two years and in the Village de Dieu territory of powerful armed gangs, leading violent and bloody armed clashes. https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-39528-haiti-news-zapping.html During a Saturday visit to the Portail Léogâne police sub-station, under heavily armed guards, police chief Frantz Elbé said that the police "[...] today find themselves at a historic crossroads where the population needs it like never before" https://www.haitilibre.com/article-39535-haiti-news-zapping.html (video) UN officials acknowledged the efforts made by the PNH to eradicate the gangs, but noted that due to the small police force lack of equipment and firepower, they are struggling to retain control of areas once they have successfully retaken territory... Let's recall that Guterres supported the request of Prime Minister a.i. Ariel Henry https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-37866-icihaiti-request-for-armed-intervention-letter-from-prime-minister-to-the-un-secretary-general.html for the rapid deployment of an international force in Haiti to help the National Police of Haiti https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-38686-haiti-security-i-reiterate-the-urgent-need-for-the-deployment-of-an-international-specialized-armed-force-dixit-guterres.html Jamaica, along with a few other smaller nations, have expressed their willingness to send troops to Haiti as part of a multinational force. But 7 months after Guterres' request, no major country has come forward to lead the effort. The United States, which drafted a resolution at the UN Security Council to support such a deployment, does not want to lead and hoped Canada would. Although the country has participated in several discussions with Jamaica https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-38957-haiti-crisis-the-pm-of-canada-met-with-his-counterpart-from-jamaica.html , Haiti and other Caribbean countries, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sent signals to the contrary. In addition to its offer of troops hhttps://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-38757-haiti-flash-jamaica-ready-to-deploy-soldiers-and-police-in-haiti.html Holness, who visited Port-au-Prince in February, also offered to host a meeting of opposition political actors in Haiti to find a broader consensus around governance, which the international community is insisting on.
