 Chad plans to send 800 security personnel to Haiti, official says


Chad intends to deploy 800 police officers and gendarmes to Haiti this year to participate in an international force ​to help Haiti's police fight powerful armed gangs, a ‌senior Chadian police official told Reuters.


The Chadian forces are expected to arrive by June after receiving training from "European and American partners", said the official, who ​requested anonymity because he was not authorised to speak ​to the media.


Dominican Republic Foreign Minister Roberto Alvarez said this week ⁠that the U.N.-backed Gang Suppression Force would reach its full ​capacity of 5,500 by October and that Kenyan police who deployed ​to Haiti under an earlier model of the force should withdraw gradually.


Alvarez, who spoke after a meeting with U.S. officials, said the forces from Chad ​were being trained in the U.S., though a State Department spokesperson ​denied that.


"We thank the Government of Chad for their pledged contribution to the ‌Gang ⁠Suppression Force... Chadian troops are not training in the United States," the spokesperson said.


The Gang Suppression Force was introduced as a larger successor to the Kenyan-led Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission, but no significant deployments have arrived since its ⁠approval last September.


The force is currently made up of mostly Kenyan police, as well as smaller numbers from a handful of countries in Central America and ⁠the Caribbean.


Chad told the United Nations in October 2023 that it was willing to contribute troops and police to the MSS, without specifying ⁠numbers ​or a timeline.


At the time, the U.N. ​also received similar pledges from Benin and Bangladesh.


None have so far deployed.
