US military visits border area in response to Haiti crisis

The Canadian government has delivered 18 tanks to the Haitian National Police for a police deployment to confront the gangs that are taking over the country.

dajabon.- US soldiers arrive at the border between the Dominican Republic and Haiti to observe the entry and exit of Haitian nationals given the situation in the neighboring country.

According to our correspondent César Montesinos, trade in the border area is currently taking place normally in the presence of international soldiers stationed in the area, who have not made statements to the press.

Alongside these teams, there are also members of the Specialized Corps for Land Border Security (Cesfront) and Public Health employees to monitor health measures for recent cases of cholera in Haiti.

It is recalled that on October 14, the United States drafted a United Nations Security Council resolution to advance the “immediate deployment of a multinational rapid action force” in Haiti to deal with the country’s worst health and security crisis in decades.

A day later, the Canadian government handed over 18 tanks to the Haitian National Police, four of which have already been received by the authorities, in order to proceed with a police deployment to confront the gangs that are taking over the country.

The tanks arrived from Canada are able to withstand the firepower of the G9 gangs who had foiled a police operation aimed at unblocking Varreux. The armored vehicles at the disposal of the police had to withdraw. Since then, these armored vehicles damaged by G9 bullets are being repaired.
