“As we speak, I already have a team in Haiti,” Ruto declared on Friday. “This will give us an idea of how things are on the ground, the available troops and the existing infrastructure,” he explained.

Biden received Ruto at the White House on Thursday, and in fact raised the level of the bilateral alliance by designating the African country as a ‘main non-NATO ally’ for its leadership in that mission that will be deployed in Haiti. In a press conference, Biden promised logistical support for the multinational security mission, but reiterated that the United States will not send soldiers to Haiti.

The gangs seem to be panicking After a series of street demonstrations and statements on social networks that demonstrate their panic, the armed gangs launched an operation a few weeks ago aimed at demolishing the police infrastructure in the metropolitan area of the capital to prevent the multinational force find accommodation in the areas under their direct control.
Last Tuesday night, they destroyed the Martissant substation, at the southern entrance to Port-au-Prince, using heavy machinery seized from the Ministry of Public Works. It all started with the Croix-des-Bouquets police station, destroyed by the armed gangs that control the city.
The political, social and economic crisis and the escalation of violence have resulted in numerous changes in Haiti, with consequences such as the resignation of the Haitian Prime Minister, Ariel Henry, and the creation of a Presidential Transition Council, which must lead to the holding presidential elections. Last year alone, violence caused 8,000 victims in Haiti, where gangs control much of Port-au-Prince and other areas of the country.
