San Juan. The UN special envoy to Haiti warned on Wednesday that the training and resources the international community is providing Haiti’s national police are not enough to fight increasingly violent gangs. The head of the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti, Helen A. Lime in Washington D.C. At a meeting of the Organization of American States in 2006, he said that the time has come to look at new partnerships. He has once again called for the deployment of a special foreign force. Lime said, “Our work is not done. We need to get to work rebuilding this country.”
He said the training and resources the international community is providing to Haiti’s national police are not enough to fight the increasingly violent gangs. According to human rights activists, these gangs have killed at least 78 police officers so far. They have taken control of police departments in some areas and torched others. Haiti’s national police, a country of about 11 million people, has only 9,000 active officers.
