HAITI: Gang attacks escalate as TPC requests peacekeepers
Leslie Voltaire, the current pro-tempore president of Haiti’s nine-member transitional presidential council (TPC), has written to United Nations (UN) Secretary General António Guterres formally requesting that the Kenyan-led multinational security support mission to Haiti (MSS) be transformed into a traditional UN peacekeeping force. Voltaire’s request comes amid renewed signs of escalating gang violence – such that two US airlines recently temporarily suspended flights. This once again suggests the limits of the MSS, which is tasked with helping the Haitian national police (PNd’H) restore security to the country, and whose mandate was renewed last month, following its authorisation in October 2023 by the UN Security Council (UNSC).
