Haiti is looking at the security company at Electus Global to help fight gangs

A person who is aware of the plans said on Thursday that the security company of the Security Company in the former US Navy will soon publish nearly 200 employees from different countries to Haiti as part of a deal to suppress gang violence there.

The person, who spoke to the Associated Press, said, provided that his identity is not disclosed to discuss the plans.

The Emir, the company, which provides logistical services, infrastructure, security and defense, runs a major granting to US President Donald Trump. The prince previously established the controversial security company Blackoter.

The publication was first reported by Reuters.

The long -term consultative role expected

The person said that Vectus Global would also take a long -term role in advising the Haiti government on how to restore revenue collection capabilities as soon as violence declines.

In June, Fritz Alfons Jean, Commander of the Transitional Presidential Council in Haiti, confirmed that the government was using foreign contractors. He refused to get to know the company or say how much the deal was worth.

Roman Lu Jeddah, head of the Haiti Observatory in the Global Initiative Against Crime, said that operations will violate US law unless the United States -based military company has a headquarters from the United States government to work in Haiti.

He said: “In the absence of a coherent strategy led by the high and international, it is likely that the use of private companies is more powerful and prevalent rather than enhancing the solution to the crisis.”

A Trump administration official said the US government was not involved with the employment of Vectus Global by the Halet government. The official, who asked not to be identified to discuss the situation, said that the US government does not fund this contract or exercise any supervision.

Haiti’s ministers office did not repeat a message of comment, and members of the Transitional Presidential Council in Haiti did not.

The struggle to suppress the gangs

Special contractors, who will come from the United States, Europe and other regions, are expected to provide advice and the support of the national police to Hyty and an unplanned mission led by Kenyan police officers who are struggling to suppress gang violence.

The uninterrupted mission includes 991 employees, much lower than 2500 employees, and about $ 112 million in its insurance fund-about 14 percent from 800 million dollars in the United States needing a year, according to the last On’s report.

The next publication of the private contractors comes after the recent appointment of Andrea Jonas Vladimir Parason as the new director of the country in the country.

Parason once held the position of head of the National Palace Security in Haiti and participated in a new mission that was forced to establish earlier this year from some police units and private contractors. The work team worked outside the control of the National Police in Haiti and employed Using explosive dronesIt was criticized by some human rights activists.

“There is a risk of escalating the conflict without a sufficient number of employees to extinguish fires where Viv ANSANM can ignite in many places,” said Diego da Rin, an international crisis analyst, said that although there is a clear need for more gang hostile operations, “There is a risk of escalating the conflict without a sufficient number of employees to extinguish fires that can ignite VIV ANSANM in many places.”

VIV ANSANM is a strong gangs union that has seen gangs, including G-9 and G-Pèp-once from bitter enemies. The United States has determined that it was a foreign terrorist organization earlier this year.

Jimmy Cherizi, the leader of Viv Ansanm known as the barbecue, recently threatened Paraison.

“VIV ANSANM has a military power that it does not always show,” said Da Rin, the analyst.

At least 1520 people were killed and more than 600 people were injured from April until the end of June via Haiti.

More than 60 percent of the killings and injuries occurred during gang security forces, with a blaming 12 percent on self -defense groups, according to the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti.
