### Haiti Enlists Controversial Contractor Erik Prince in Battle Against Gangs

The Haitian government is turning to private military contractor Erik Prince, renowned for his controversial past, to combat escalating gang violence.


In a desperate effort to reclaim control amidst rampant violence, the Haitian government has contracted Erik Prince, the founder of the notorious private military company Blackwater, to lead operations against dangerous gangs plaguing the nation. With gang violence reaching alarming levels, leading to civilian casualties and territorial disputes, the authorities are relying on Mr. Prince's expertise in lethal operations.

Since March, Prince's team has been deploying drones to target gang members, although no significant successes have been publicly announced. In addition to aerial operations, he is reportedly recruiting Haitian American military veterans and plans to send around 150 mercenaries to bolster local forces. Recent shipments of arms have also been arranged to support these initiatives. While the U.S. government is aware of these developments, specific financial details regarding the arrangements remain undisclosed. The situation highlights the desperate measures taken by Haiti’s leadership to combat the spiraling gang crisis that continues to haunt the nation.
