Haiti’s prime minister is in the US, where he is due to meet with an official of the US government tomorrow, Monday, as his country continues to face a crisis due to the rapid escalation of armed gang violence.

Gary Connell, the interim prime minister named in early June, is expected to hold talks in Washington with John Feiner, assistant national security adviser to the US presidency, as well as officials from international funds and financial institutions, according to a source in his services.

His trip comes at an extremely critical time for Haiti, which has been plagued by gang violence since March. About 2,500 Kenyan police arrived in the country by air on Tuesday as part of an international mission to restore security in the country.

The US is a key factor in its development: financing it with over $300 million in capital while also providing nearly $60 million worth of material support.

The arrival of Kenyan police officers of the multinational security force will bring “much-needed relief” to Haitians, according to US President Joe Biden.

Gary Connell, who had already served as Prime Minister of Haiti from September 2011 to May 2012, spoke of a “unique opportunity” to restore order in the Haitian territory.

But the duty is announced as dental.

Haiti, mired in political instability for decades, has been confronted this year with a terrifying escalation of gang violence, which controls 80% of the capital Port-au-Prince, against a background of an increasingly serious humanitarian crisis.

Nearly 600,000 people fled gang violence. And about a hundred Haitian refugees arrived Wednesday in Florida after seven days at sea.

Restoring security in the long-suffering Caribbean country will in theory allow elections to be held. The most recent date back to 2016.
