On April 2, 2026, an advance contingent of police from Chad arrived in Haiti as part of a UN-backed initiative aimed at bolstering local security forces against gang violence.
This deployment is intended to enhance the operational capacity of Haitian security forces, which have been struggling to manage the influence of powerful gangs, particularly in the capital, Port-au-Prince.
The integration of Chadian police into the existing security framework presents both opportunities and challenges, necessitating careful coordination to ensure effective implementation and resource allocation.
