On Friday, August 23, 2024, the war against gangsters in Haiti was advanced when more hardware, including ambush-resistant armoured vehicles, were received to be used for operations.
The French government gave a huge boost to the Haitian National Police (HNP) when they delivered 24 APC with turrets at the National Port in Haiti. The USA government, through the DOD, also delivered 2 more MaxxPros with turrets to MSSM Force Commander Godfrey Otunge, with more expected in the coming days.
Both the French and US governments have maintained their steadfast commitments and contributions to the MSSM in Haiti. More equipment and vehicles are expected in the coming weeks as the first phase of the pre-deployment comes to a close. More force-contributing countries like the Bahamas and Jamaica have indicated plays to deploy to the theatre very soon.
Otunge, while receiving the MaxxPros, put the notorious gangs on notice, pointing out that their days are numbers and they should stop tormenting Haitians. He observed that the continuous joint patrols and trainings between Kenya contingent special forces and the Haiti SWAT team have enhanced synergy among the teams. He noted that Haitians are eager to see key gang leaders arrested to face justice and assured the populace that it is just a matter of time, opining that the MSSM will stop at nothing in ensuring that Haitians enjoy peace and tranquility buttressed under democratic processes that will see free and fair elections.
