Last year alone, there were more than 3 thousand murders and more than 1.5 thousand kidnappings in Haiti.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called on the new Haitian authorities to assign an international security mission to the islands as soon as possible. Reuters wrote this on Thursday, April 25.
“The Secretary-General called on all Member States to ensure the functioning of the multinational security mission and give it the financial and logistical support it needs to succeed,” said UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric.
According to him, the UN Secretary-General also recommended speeding up the implementation of the transitional arrangement for the new Haitian government to reduce the influence of gangs on the islands.
We remind you that the UN Security Council approved the sending of a security mission to Haiti. The purpose of the mission is to assist the Haitian authorities in combating gangs operating in the country. Last year alone, there were more than 3 thousand murders and more than 1.5 thousand kidnappings in Haiti. Massive attacks across the area displaced around 200,000 people.
Hundreds of prisoners have escaped from a prison in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince. Among the fugitives are men convicted of killing the country’s President Jovenel Moïse in 2021.
The widow of former Haitian President Martine Moïse and former Prime Minister Claude Joseph have been accused of involvement in the assassination of Jovenel Moïse.
