PORT-AU-PRINCE, Jan 20 (NNN-PRENSA LATINA) — The arrival of a third contingent from Kenya for the Multinational Security Support Mission will give a boost to the anti-gang fight being waged in the capital of Haiti and surrounding areas.
The group of soldiers sent by the president of that African nation, William Ruto, consists of 217, which are in addition to the 380 deployed in 2024, for a total of 597 troops.
This government intends to provide you with all the resources necessary to carry out this war, Haitian Transitional Presidential Council (TPC) member Fritz Alphonse told the newcomers.
At the beginning of the year, the TPC declared war on all the gangs that today continue to bring mourning to the homes of the inhabitants of the Caribbean nation.
“In 2025, we declare war on all the gangs that murder the Haitian people, burn medical facilities and school infrastructure,” TPC President Leslie Voltaire said.
The TPC, the Premiership, and its ministerial cabinet, all the entities of the state are against insecurity, Voltaire stressed, quoted by the daily Le Nouvelliste.
Voltaire promised to resume life in the Caribbean country, hostage of the violence that today continues to be waged by gangs.
He said that by 2025 all roads controlled by armed gangs will be liberated.
We will secure ports and airports to facilitate the free movement of people and goods, but this will involve the cooperation of all.
The state will put the necessary means at the disposal of the law enforcement groups to dismantle all the gangs, Voltaire emphasized. — NNN-PRENSA LATINA
