Story summary

The UN Security Council extended by six months the mandate of an international security force in Haiti known as the Gang Suppression Force (GSF), aimed at fighting powerful armed groups controlling much of the country. Twelve nations voted for renewal; China, Russia, and Pakistan abstained due to concerns about insufficient funds, personnel, and effectiveness. The GSF currently stands at just 30% of its intended size despite Haiti's leaders first requesting international support in 2022. This extension aims to provide security ahead of Haiti’s upcoming election in December 2024. Recent violence includes the killing of at least 11 people by gang members near Haiti's breadbasket region, which was retaliatory after a GSF unit killed three gang members, and another massacre in Kenscoff that left at least 47 dead and nearly 50 kidnapped.

A month ago, another massacre in the hillside town of Kenscoff near the capital left at least 47 people dead and around 50 more kidnapped.
