The Chief of Defence Staff for Antigua and Barbuda, Colonel Telbert Benjamin, has reaffirmed the country’s commitment to assisting in restoring stability in Haiti, a French-speaking member of the Caribbean Community (Caricom) facing ongoing challenges.
Colonel Benjamin outlined plans for a collaborative effort during a recent Regional Security System security chiefs meeting held in Guyana.
He emphasized that the concerns regarding the plight of the Haitian people were extensively discussed during the meeting.
“The issue is broader than just general security; there are policing issues as well that need addressing. Our approach, in collaboration with regional partners, involves joint contingencies to address both the serious security needs and the policing needs,” Colonel Benjamin stated.
This reaffirmation of support from the Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force underscores the regional commitment to assisting Haiti in overcoming its security challenges and fostering stability for its people.

According to AP, More than 53,000 people have fled Haiti’s capital in less than three weeks, the vast majority to escape unrelenting gang violence, according to a United Nations report released Tuesday.
More than 60% are headed to Haiti’s rural southern region, which worries U.N. officials.
“Our humanitarian colleagues emphasized that these departments do not have sufficient infrastructure, and host communities do not have sufficient resources, to cope with the large number of people fleeing Port-au-Prince,” said U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric.
The southern region already hosts more than 116,000 Haitians who previously left Port-au-Prince, according to the report by the U.N.’s International Organization for Migration.
The exodus from the capital of some 3 million people began shortly after powerful gangs launched a series of attacks on government institutions at the end of February. Gunmen have burned police stations, opened fire on the main international airport that remains closed and stormed Haiti’s two biggest prisons, releasing more than 4,000 inmates.

ABDF can manage petty situations here at home but they can not manage any war against Bar B Que snd the Haitians…big country they know their terrain very well…. Serious business over there it ain’t no Call Of Duty PlayStation game. Make the wrong move game over forever..
Why are you so negative? Poeple are crying out for help in Haiti and all you can do is say negative things. What do you know? What else choice do we have? If that’s how everyone felt then no war around the world would of been won. What u need to do is bare arms and come and help or shut up!
@ NO NAME, we all look forward to hearing from you going out to Haiti 🇭🇹 and baring arms with your sons (if you have any of fighting age that is), volunteering to keep the peace there.
You say “we”, we what? Weebles …

If Gaston say he gon turn anu into a dictatorship n no body can take a sh*t without permission yall woudda want to rise guns too.

“Barbecue who they wanna take down is providing a safe place for ppl to run for protection and is trying to negotiate for democracy.”
Don’t know where you get all this bull from. Barbecue is a future Putin, Erdogan, Trump. You name them. That is how it starts, then it becomes a full blown dictatorship. Of course, encouraged by well meaning people like you who think they are doing it for their people. If Barbecue was for the people, his gang will not be raping women, burning down the place, setting people on fire and scaring the bejuses out of the regular people. Who are seen running for their lives.
You all created the one we have here. You all see the result of dictatorship aided and abetted by you the people. Have you all learnt nothing about worshipping these hooligans? They only flourish when the sheeple just get misty eyed about some so called folk hero, believing that they care one r$#s about them, when all they want is the power to go one further than the oppressor they’re supposed to be liberating the people from.
Yes American puppet, Barbecue has support of over 50% of the Haitian population. You got to compare this guy with Nelson Mandela.
