BiggerDeployment of multinational force to Haiti starts May 26
Bahamas.- The multinational force, spearheaded by Kenya, to restore security in Haiti is slated to commence deployment on May 26, as announced by Fred Mitchell, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Bahamas.
The Bahamas has pledged to dispatch 150 Defense Force officers to bolster maritime security as part of this multinational effort aimed at stabilizing Haiti.
Mitchell also expressed approval of the recent election of Fritz Bélizaire, former Sports Minister, as Haiti’s new prime minister.
“This process is led by Haiti, and Caricom (Caribbean Community) has made every effort to bring it to fruition,” stated the Bahamian diplomatic chief, emphasizing the role of the Caribbean organization and its mediation between Haitian factions.
According to reports from Bahamian media, the new prime minister enjoys widespread acceptance among Haiti’s elites, and the international community recognizes this as the right direction forward.
However, the multinational force, authorized by the Security Council to provide support to the Haitian National Police, has faced delays primarily due to financial constraints.
UN spokesman Stéphane Dujarric noted that there has been no update on the number of countries willing to participate in the force, which includes Kenya, Burkina Faso, and several Caribbean nations. Moreover, funding for the force has yet to surpass 10.6% of the required budget.
Insecurity remains pervasive in the metropolitan area of Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, following a surge in violence by armed gangs controlling significant portions of the city since late February.
CARICOM has dictated and imposed a Transitional Counsel on Haitians; 11 million Haitians call this a 7 headed snake! The majority of Counsel members are from narco XPres Aristide’s party, thus CARICOM led by US is propping up a narco dictatorship. For 30 years gang creator and narco trafficker Aristide lobbies the US Democrats and specifically Black Caucus with blood money derived from gang associations, billions in corruption and trafficker proceeds. Haitian population agrees this party planned and paid for the brutal assassination of President Jovenel in his residence. In addition, this party has already successfully fixed promised presidential elections by assassinating potential candidate, character assassination, threats and sanctions imposed by Canada and US at the bidding of Arisitide and his party. Gang anarchy is purposely created by Aristide to force foreign intervention to protect his dictatorial terror.
