Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater, is reportedly working with Haiti's interim government to deploy drones in lethal operations against gangs. The initiative, using American contractors, started in March but hasn't yielded any high-value targets, while resulting in over 200 deaths according to one human rights group. Critics, including several experts, condemn the move as foreign intervention, highlighting the potential for worsening Haiti's already precarious security and political situation. The US State Department denies funding the operation.
