A team of Chadian forces arrived in Haiti on Wednesday, marking the first deployment of the United Nations-backed Gang Suppression Force (GSF). The announcement came from the force's social media channel.
In addition to the troops, U.N. official Jack Christofides has also arrived in Haiti. Christofides serves as a special representative for the Gang Suppression Force, a mission positioned as a more extensive successor to the Kenyan-led Multinational Security Support (MSS) initiative.
This arrival marks the first significant deployment of the GSF since its approval last September. Despite this, no substantial troop movements had occurred prior to the Chadian forces leading the charge.
