P-au-P, July 8, 2024 (AlterPresse) – The interim director of the Haitian National Police (Pnh), Rameau Nomire, issued a stern warning to criminal gangs during a press conference on July 9, 2024, during a meeting with the head of the Multinational Security Support Mission (Mmas), Kenyan General Godfrey Otunge.
“Recess is over,” he shouted during a meeting with reporters, followed by Alter Presse.
The police chief promised that the police would hunt down the gangsters across the country and take back the places occupied by the gangsters.
The interim director of the National Party said that operations aimed at dismantling the strongholds of armed gangs could be launched at any time inside Haiti.
“There is no fixed date or day to launch these operations. This can be done at any time. We have strategies to attack gangs because we know how they operate. The break is over,” he said in a firm tone.
Nomier assured that “in a very short time, citizens will be able to travel anywhere in Haiti.”
“Instructions have been issued to the national police to attack wherever armed gangs are located. The blood of our brothers and sisters will not be shed in vain. This loss of territory must stop throughout the country.”
The Sector Operations and Intervention Brigade (Boid) base at Fort National in central Port-au-Prince has been reinforced.
Since the evening of Sunday, July 7, 2024, “we have regained control of the National University Hospital of Haiti (Port-au-Prince General Hospital), which was used by armed groups to attack the National Palace and other buildings,” said Rameau-Nomire.
Before the sun rises, dew drops fall from the side (“Dew adorned his clothes until the sun peeked over the horizon”), the Haitian National Police warned.
“We must act immediately on security issues. Several meetings have been held with the Kenyan delegation to address security issues. We are in a period of assessment and planning for action against armed groups,” he said, stressing the need for a marriage between the people and the National Party.
Ramo Nomier expressed regret that 7 municipalities (he did not specify the names) have no police for 2 years (from 2022), stressing that this situation makes it easier for armed gangs to attack police stations, precincts and police stations.
The police agency informed that it had made arrangements to allow all national police officers to return to their posts and to allow thousands of displaced persons to return to their homes abandoned by terror and other violence perpetrated by armed groups.
“We have work to do to restore peace to all of Haiti, and we will do it successfully. We cannot fail in our mission.” Kenyan police deployed in Haiti since Tuesday, June 25, 2024at a press conference on Monday, July 8, 2024.
“We will help the National Guard to strengthen itself and carry out operations to combat gangs and improve security throughout Haiti,” he sought to assure Otungue, pledging that the multinational force would abide by national and international laws as required.
