The UN Security Council has decided to transform the Multinational Security Mission in Haiti into an anti-gang force, aimed at combating the increasing violence in the country. The Haitian ambassador welcomed this initiative, noting that the current mission is overwhelmed by the scale of the threats. The new mission will include up to 5,500 members and will benefit from logistical support from the UN. However, China has expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of this force, highlighting the risks of a military intervention. Haiti is facing a severe crisis generated by gang violence and political instability.
