Canada sends more tanks to Haiti to support police response to gang crisis
The armoured vehicles were purchased by the Haitian government. It is the second such shipment since October, when both Canada and the U.S. sent some armoured vehicles to Haiti.
The federal government release on the second shipment did not say which companies made the tanks, how much they cost or how many were sent. However a government official, who was granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter, said there were three tanks, including two of the same model.Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly and Defence Minister Anita Anand said in a statement that the equipment will help the Haitian National Police.
Haiti’s unelected Prime Minister Ariel Henry has previously requested an international military intervention to regain control of the capital, a move controversial among Haitians.
