Prelude to the Best Sommelier of Canada Contest | SaltWire - The head of Haiti's democratic transition council on Monday urged action on a plan to deploy foreign troops to the Caribbean island nation to help police restore security amid a worsening conflict as powerful gangs have forced around 200,000 people to flee their homes.
"Foreign troops to support national police is something many Haitians are awaiting, including those who have been victims," Manigat said, calling for the force to prioritize protection of the vulnerable and for more action against arms trafficking. Prime Minister Ariel Henry has vowed to hold elections after security is reestablished. The HTC is part of efforts to prepare for elections, but it has faced setbacks including the kidnapping of its secretary general last week.Gangs have continued to expand their territory and some 2 million people now live under their domain, according to estimates from the U.N., which earlier this month ratified deploying an international force. But few countries have pledged troops.
