The Bundeswehr wants to support the UN mission in the Caribbean Republic of Haiti, plagued by poverty and gang violence. The German armed forces would provide "short-term" air transport capacities to help with the relocation of equipment and materials, the Federal Ministry of Defence announced on Saturday in Berlin. With the support, Germany was shown to be a "reliable partner of United Nations peace operations".
