[Regnum] The United States is planning to send Marines to Haiti due to the deteriorating security situation in the country, Marine Corps Times reported on March 9.
“Deploying a Marine counterterrorism team platoon is one option the Defense Department has if the State Department requests security support at the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince,” the article said.
| That sounds a good deal less certain than planning. |
The publication recalled that the American Embassy in Haiti called on its fellow citizens to leave the country at the first opportunity. A State Department spokesperson told Fox News that the department has asked Marines to deploy a team to Haiti and is monitoring the situation to take steps “if circumstances warrant.”
Due to armed unrest in the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince at the end of February, the country's Prime Minister Ariel Henry was unable to return to his homeland from Kenya, where he coordinated the details of the deployment of foreign armed forces to fight bandits who said they intended to prevent his return to the management. A state of emergency has been declared in Haiti.
Earlier, IA Regnum reported that gangs in Haiti attempted to seize the Port-au-Prince airport. The attack occurred after a curfew was announced and turned out to be the largest attack in the country's history. The gangs also attacked the main prison of the capital and released the prisoners they were holding. Armed criminals in the struggle for the redistribution of spheres of influence paralyzed life in the capital of Haiti and began to consolidate in other regions of the country.
