The Haitian National Police (HNP) has dismissed claims suggesting that Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission officers stopped collaborating with Haitian officers to curb the surging gang violence in the Caribbean nation.
The mission, which includes troops from Kenya, El Salvador, the Bahamas, Belize, Jamaica, and Guatemala, is still active and helping Haitian officers combat the dreaded gangs.
In a joint presser signed by HNP and MSS mission spokespersons, Michel Jeune and Jack Ombaka, on Monday, April 21, the two accused a section of foreign media of spreading false information about the mission.
While refuting the allegations, the two spokespersons noted that the Kenya-led MSS mission is heavily involved in the theatre of operations on the ground alongside Haitian officers.
