Haiti's new anti-gang force was barely deployed a year after approval

Haiti is facing a severe security crisis as gangs control 80% of the capital, leading to widespread violence and death. While the UN previously deployed peacekeepers (MINUSTAH) from 2004 to 2017, that mission left a controversial legacy. Now, a new multinational force is being deployed to suppress gangs and secure the environment for the country's first national elections in a decade.
