Haiti ordered armoured vehicles from a Canadian manufacturer. All 18 were supposed to be delivered by end of 2022. While Haiti awaits delivery, its police officers are getting killed in the streets.
Police patrol Port-au-Prince, Haiti on Jan. 31, 2023, after a funeral for three officers who were killed in the line of duty. The officers were killed in an ambush by gang members in the capital on Jan. 20.
This latest shipment won't come a moment too soon for a police force that is seeing its officers killed off at a rate of about one every two or three days. "It's been a rough couple of months," he said. "They've had some losses, more than usual I would say in the last month. Brutal killings." "I visited Haiti for the first time in 2010, right after the earthquake, and in the 13 years since I've seen the country spiral into darkness. We really want to help.
Port-au-Prince is now essentially surrounded by gang territory. The ring around the city is not complete but anyone passing through it is at risk of being kidnapped or robbed — or worse.
