Authorities in Haiti, including Kenyan police, have resorted to unorthodox and potentially dangerous methods in a bid to curb gang violence and reclaim control of Port-au-Prince.
Prime Minister of Haiti, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, has launched a controversial drone campaign which will target violent gangs which have seized large portions of the capital.
The initiative began in March 2025 and entails the use of drones laden with explosives aimed at gang-controlled areas in a move which has been touted as extremely desperate by some experts.
Operations on the weaponised drones are done by the Haitian National Police (PNH) through their Tactical Drone Unit, established by the Haitian Prime Minister.
