United Nations Secretary General António Guterres on Saturday urged the international community to continue to provide funding and equipment to Haiti’s beleaguered police force.
But he also said he’s convinced that only a “robust” international force can help the police dismantle the country’s terrorizing armed gangs.
“The gangs have created a terror situation in Haiti that doesn’t allow any meaningful economic activity, and undermines the humanitarian support and that is a serious obstacle to any political process,” Guterres said in an interview with the Miami Herald after landing in Fort Lauderdale onboard a commercial flight from Port-au-Prince.
