El primer despliegue de 75 efectivos, principalmente de Guatemala y un pequeño número de El Salvador, fue recibido el viernes en el Aeropuerto Internacional Toussaint Louverture en Puerto Príncipe por las principales autoridades haitianas, funcionarios de seguridad y el embajador de Estados Unidos en Haití, Dennis Hankins.
Los ataques coordinados de las pandillas a prisiones, estaciones de policía y el principal aeropuerto internacional se han intensificado en Haití desde el asesinato del presidente Jovenel Moise en 2021. Se estima que las pandillas controlan aproximadamente el 85% de la capital. En lo que quizás sea el ataque más descarado hasta ahora, pistoleros abrieron fuego contra una multitud que se había reunido en Nochebuena para la reapertura del hospital público más grande de Haití, que había sido cerrado después de ser arrasado por pandillas a principios de este año. Dos periodistas que cubrían el evento y policía murieron.
Antes del despliegue de esta semana, la misión internacional que busca sofocar la violencia estaba liderada por unos 400 oficiales de seguridad de Kenia. Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Benín y Chad también han prometido personal, aunque no está claro cuándo serán enviados.Esta historia fue traducida del inglés por un editor de AP con la ayuda de una herramienta de inteligencia artificial generativa.
