Nearly 200 personnel from Vectus Global, a security firm founded by Erik Prince, will deploy to Haiti for a year to combat escalating gang violence. The deployment aims to help the Haitian government regain control of territory seized by gangs. The initiative, though supported by the Haitian government, raises concerns about potential legal violations and the risk of further escalating the conflict. The U.S. government denies involvement in the contract. The deployment comes amid a surge in violence, displacement, and the rise of powerful gang federations like Viv Ansanm.
