Guatemala has sent 75 more soldiers to Haiti on Saturday to assist in combating gangs that have been on a rise in the country. This is the second contingent of security forces from Guatemala.
75 Guatemalan military troops have arrived in Haiti to reinforce the ongoing multinational security support mission in the country. This is the last group of security forces from Guatemala following an earlier dispatch of 75 officers, bringing the total to 150 - as promised by the Guatemalan government.
This operation to fight off the rising gangs in Haiti is led by Kenya, whose mission commander-in-chief expressed gratitude for the additional support.
The presence of gangs in the country has worsened as more territories fall under their control. With an escalation of violence, thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes.
Last month, a group of armed men opened fire at a government press conference leaving two reporters and a police officer dead.
The government of Haiti has issued a state of emergency as it battles the gangs that have taken control of much of the capital Port-au-Prince.
