Les États-Unis ont annoncé l'arrivée d'un contingent supplémentaire de Marines à Port-au- afin de renforcer la sécurité de leur ambassade en Haïti en coordination avec le gouvernement haïtien.
U.S. Marines in Haiti exchanged gunfire this week with suspected gang members, U.S. military officials said Saturday, in an incident that highlights the precarious security environment in the island nation.
Several alleged gang members were killed in Haiti on Friday during intensified security operations in the eastern plains of Port-au-Prince, where police successfully recovered a high-powered sniper rifle known as a “weapon of war” but were forced to destroy a helicopter used in their operations.
Gang violence continues to be responsible for hundreds of deaths and injuries in Haiti, where attacks by criminal groups have slowed in recent months in the capital but have intensified against farming communities and other rural areas outside of Port-au-Prince.
