During his visit to Haiti, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged increased backing for the multinational intervention force in the country. Emphasizing the critical need for resources and personnel, Blinken announced an additional $45 million in humanitarian aid.
The intervention force, led by Kenya, was established following a plan mediated by the US and several Caribbean nations. Blinken's discussions with Interim Prime Minister Conille shed light on the country's challenges, including gang violence, political instability, and economic turmoil.
Haiti, besieged by years of crisis, faced heightened unrest in February, triggering a state of emergency. Blinken's visit aimed to bolster efforts towards peace and security in the region, acknowledging the complexities exacerbated by historical issues and recent events, such as the assassination of President Moise.
The US commitment to supporting the mission underscores the urgent need for stability and the ongoing struggle against corruption and gang dominance in Haiti.
