Haiti calls on Canada, U.S. to lead anti-gang strike force

The United States and Canada should take the lead in creating a strike force to confront Haitian gangs creating a humanitarian crisis by blocking access to a major fuel terminal, Haiti’s ambassador to the United States said on Monday.

UNSG Guterres has proposed “a rapid action force” to help Haiti’s police confront the gang, without saying that the United Nations should lead such a force.
