Episode notes
Gangs Thrive Where Impunity Meets Transnational Crime
- Haiti's crisis is driven by transnational crime and a weak state rather than ideology, enabling gangs to control large portions of Port-au-Prince.
- Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé says gangs profit from drug and arms trafficking and thrive where impunity and lack of security persist.
Recruit Train And Coordinate A Haitian-Led Security Force
- Use a Haitian-led threefold security strategy combining the new UN-backed GSF, expanded Haitian police and army, and tailored urban-warfare training.
- The P4000 program aims to recruit and train 4,000 police officers to counter gang urban tactics.
Jobs Are Essential To Prevent Youth Recruitment

- The Prime Minister stresses shifting from aid to trade so jobs follow security gains.
