The Haitian government has signed a contract with Mr. Prince, the private military contractor who founded Blackwater, a company notorious for a civilian massacre in Iraq.
Haiti’s government has hired American contractors, including Mr. Prince, in recent months to work on a secret task force to deploy drones meant to kill gang members, security experts said. Mr. Prince’s team has been operating the drones since March, but the authorities have yet to announce the death or capture of a single high-value target.
Security experts said Mr. Prince has also been scouting Haitian American military veterans to hire to send to Port-au-Prince and is expected to send up to 150 mercenaries to Haiti over the summer. He recently shipped a large cache of weapons to the country, two experts said.
What could go wrong?
It can’t get much worse.
Any collateral damage Hatians suffer while fighting gangs is part of the punishment for them letting gangs get that bad in the first place.
Would this be called gang fights if it were in a predominantly white country or is this just a embroiled civil war? Both are bad for civilians, one has external racial connotations.
