The head of Haiti's transitional council admitted that authorities have hired mercenaries to help them fight against armed gangs that control most of the country.
Speaking to Haitian journalist, Fritz Alphonse Jean said "when there is a weakness, we look for other people to support the national police." He declined to say how much those hired are being paid but detailed that "the resources that are being poured in are that of the population," according to the Miami Herald. He did not confirm nor deny that the amount was $44 million.
