150 Guatemalan military police officers deployed to Haiti to combat gangs amid challenges in a U.N.-backed mission.
Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo announced the deployment of 150 military police officers to Haiti to combat violent gangs, amid challenges facing a U.N.-backed Kenyan-led mission struggling with personnel and funding. The U.S. has suggested a U.N. peacekeeping replacement. Currently, nearly 400 Kenyan officers are in Haiti, where gangs control 80% of Port-au-Prince. The combined mission aims for 2,500 personnel, with contributions from several countries, though timelines remain unclear.
