Haiti’s prime minister Fils-Aimé speaks out as concerns over El Salvador’s troops deepen
The prime minister said Haiti needs the force to help uproot gangs as more than 5,700 people were killed or injured from January to mid-September, the U.N. said.
- Haiti Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé spoke publicly on Tuesday for the first time since four Salvadoran aviation technicians went missing last month, defending the deployment of more than 2,000 Salvadoran troops as the international force intensifies operations.
- Gangs control 70% of Port-au-Prince and have expanded violence into the countryside since President Jovenel Moïse's 2021 assassination, creating a security vacuum that prompted El Salvador's military deployment.
- A source told The Associated Press on Tuesday that until the October 18 attack, El Salvador lacked formal agreements with Haiti or the United Nations, and had no evacuation protocol with the Dominican Republic.
- Fils-Aimé announced more than 1,000 new police officers recently graduated and expressed determination to "uproot gangs," stating he aims to recruit 4,000 additional officers and 15,000 soldiers.
- Security experts question coordination among Haiti's military, police, gang suppression force, and private security firm Vectus Global, each operating under separate mandates with no unified command structure.
