PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Military personnel from Chad touched down in Haiti on Wednesday, becoming the first soldiers deployed as part of a United Nations-supported Gang Suppression Force (GSF), according to an announcement made by the force on social media platforms.
Accompanying the military deployment, Jack Christofides, a United Nations official, also landed in Haiti to serve as the GSF’s special representative. This new force represents an expanded version of the Kenya-led Multinational Security Support mission, though meaningful troop deployments have been absent since the mission received authorization in September of last year.
