Jack Christofides was named as the special representative for the U.S.-backed force tasked with dismantling Haitian gangs. The Miami Herald described Christofides as a longtime UN expert on peace building who has worked in complex security environments around the world.
Godrfrey Otunge, who leads the U.S.-backed force, said the man "brings experience in political affairs, peace-building and operational leadership, which will be instrumental in guiding the GSF's efforts to address Haiti's security crisis and lay the groundwork for sustainable peace."
