Haitian government hires Erik Prince to support operations against armed gangs
We Are the People – Amid the worsening security crisis in Haiti, the government of that country has hired the services of American businessman Erik Prince, founder of the now-defunct military firm Blackwater Worldwide, to combat the armed gangs operating in its territory.
The information was published Wednesday by The New York Times and confirmed by Haitian and U.S. officials, as well as security experts involved in the operation. According to the report, the agreement includes the formation of a special group tasked with operating armed drones to target gang leaders responsible for widespread violence.
Erik Prince is known for his role during the Iraq War, when his company obtained contracts from the United States government to provide protection to diplomatic personnel. His record in international conflicts has generated controversy, particularly for the deployment of military contractors in war zones.
According to the journalistic investigation, Prince's team has begun using drones in Haiti since March, although no specific results, such as the capture or elimination of key members of criminal gangs, have been reported so far.
