Statement Sunday said that the United States remains focused on aiding Haitian police and arranging some kind of U.N.-authorized security deployment
The U.S. military said Sunday that it had flown forces in to beef up security at the U.S. Embassy in Haiti and allow non-essential personnel to leave.
Haiti’s embattled prime minister, Ariel Henry, travelled recently to Kenya to push for the U.N.-backed deployment of a police force from the East African country to fight the gangs. But a Kenyan court ruled in January that such a deployment would be unconstitutional. The statement described the security situation in Haiti as “totally unsustainable” and said that it “poses a direct threat to the safety and stability of the Dominican Republic.”
Caricom said Friday that while regional leaders remain deeply engaged in trying to bring opposition parties and civil society groups together to form a unity government, “the stakeholders are not yet where they need to be.”
