There are troubled countries, there are dysfunctional countries, and then there are absolute hell-holes like Haiti.
In fact, in a situation where the rebel-criminal gangs control around 90% of the territory in the capital and largest city, Port-au-Prince, the country hardly exists at this point.
The Joe Biden administration from hell watched as the situation in Haiti deteriorated, and the worthless UN sent ‘peacekeepers’ from Kenya who haven’t been able to deal with the situation.
But, starting this year, ‘there’s a new sheriff in town’.
In May, the de facto leader of the country, Haitian gang leader Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Cherizier, commander of the ‘Viv Ansanm’ (live Together) gang alliance, was designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S. for his participation in ‘severe human rights abuses’.
Then, last Tuesday, August 12, the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs announced a reward of up to $5 million for ‘information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Cherizier’.
This announcement comes in parallel with the Department of Justice’s unsealing of an indictment against the Gang leader in the District of Columbia for conspiracy to violate U.S. sanctions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

And two days ago (14), it arose that the security firm of former U.S. Navy SEAL Erik Prince is about to deploy 200 private Military contractors (PMCs) to Haiti in a one-year deal to tackle gang violence.
Associated Press reported:
“The deployment by Vectus Global is meant to help the government of Haiti recover vast swaths of territory seized in the past year and now controlled by heavily armed gangs, said the person, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss the plans.
The company, which provides logistics, infrastructure, security and defense, is run by Prince, a major donor to U.S. President Donald Trump. Prince previously founded the controversial security firm Blackwater.
Vectus Global also will assume a long-term role in advising Haiti’s government on how to restore revenue collection capabilities once the violence subsides, the person said.”
In an interview with Reuters, Prince stated that he has a 10-year deal with Haiti to fight the country’s criminal gangs.
“He said he expected to wrestle control of major roads and territories from the gangs in about a year. ‘One key measure of success for me will be when you can drive from Port-au-Prince to Cap Haitian in a thin-skinned vehicle and not be stopped by gangs’, Prince said in the interview.
[…] A person familiar with the company’s operations in Haiti told Reuters that Vectus would intensify its fight against the criminal gangs that control large swathes of Haiti in the coming weeks in coordination with the Haitian police, deploying several hundred fighters from the United States, Europe and El Salvador who are trained as snipers and specialists in intelligence and communications, as well as helicopters and boats. Vectus’s force includes some French and Creole speakers, the person said. “
