A contingent of 150 Guatemalan soldiers has arrived in Haiti, tasked with helping to restore order amid the chaos wrought by armed gangs.
A first group of 75 soldiers arrived on Friday and another 75 on Saturday, all drafted from the military police, according to Guatemala's government.
A state of emergency has been in place across the Caribbean nation for months as the government battles violent gangs that have taken control of much of the capital Port-au-Prince.
The forces are in Haiti to boost a United Nations-backed security mission led by Kenya that has so far failed to prevent violence from escalating.
Kenya sent nearly 400 police officers in June and July last year to help combat the gangs.
This was the first tranche of a UN-approved international force that will be made up of 2,500 officers from various countries.
A small number of forces from Jamaica, Belize and El Salvador are also in Haiti as part of the mission and the US is the operation's largest funder.[Uncle Sucker stuck with thre check again.]

How will they know who is a gangster??
Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius
Kill them, for the Lord knows those that are His
Over the years changed to
Kill them all; let God sort them out
We have plenty of Haitians, and plenty of Guatemalans. We should ship them over so all scores can be settled st once, in a place away for here. For that, I’d cheerfully have the U.S. foot the bill
Supposedly a bunch of Colombians are dying in the frozen potato fields of Kursk.
Not sure who is paying for that.
Go the El Salvadorian route and build as much Supermax-type jail space as it takes. Throw the gangs in there for life. Lather rinse repeat as often as necessary for as long as it takes.
I don’t know if the law is still the same but in the mid 70’s when I was in Jamaica on vacay you could get 10 years in prison if you got caught with a bullet. They hack each other to death with machetes.
The only way they’re going to win over the gangs is to shoot them dead.
” If criminals want guns, they will get guns.”
Correct!
Sometimes it’s as easy as a phone call to Barak Obama & Eric Holder.
Because Springfield had a feral cat problem.
Guatemalans are excellent fighters. Tough as nails.
Well. They likely have experience with thugs
Hope they brought mortars and RPGs.
Guatemalan soldiers found is streets case still open.
BonAppetit!
