Last November, the Guatemalan government announced it would send 300 officers, including police and military personnel, to Haiti to bolster the ranks of the FSP.

The online newspaper Haiti Libre notes that the uniformed personnel from the Central American nation could begin arriving in April of next year.

In January 2025, a group of 75 Guatemalan security forces was deployed to Haiti to join the now-defunct Multinational Security Support Mission, an international command that unsuccessfully attempted to eradicate gangs.

On Monday, a contingent of 230 Kenyan soldiers arrived in Haiti to support the Public Security Forces (FSF) in their fight against armed gangs that control more than 90 percent of the capital and surrounding areas.

According to the Haitian National Police, as reported by the newspaper Le Nouvelliste, this reinforcement is part of the efforts to restore order and public safety in Haiti.
