In a significant development, Guatemala has announced its commitment to deploy 300 police and military personnel to Haiti as part of the Gang Suppression Force (GSF), starting in April 2026. This decision was revealed during the Organization of American States (OAS) session, where Secretary General Albert Ramdin called for accelerated contributions from member states to combat gang violence in Haiti. Meanwhile, Atlantic Global Logistics (AGL) has expressed frustration over a five-year delay in receiving authorization from the Haitian government to commence operations at its $60 million container terminal. Despite being fully equipped and built to international standards, AGL continues to repay loans without generating revenue, highlighting bureaucratic inefficiencies. On the humanitarian front, the Economic and Social Assistance Fund (FAES), with support from Colombia, distributed hygiene and sanitation kits to displaced families in Kenskoff, improving living conditions and disease prevention. In sports, the Haitian junior judo team achieved remarkable success, securing 7 medals, including 3 gold, at the Pan American and Caribbean Cup. Additionally, FAES distributed 27,000 hot meals to displaced families in Port-au-Prince and Pétion-Ville, underscoring ongoing efforts to address food insecurity. Lastly, Presidential Transitional Advisor Smith Augustin embarked on an international tour, attending key conferences in Brazil and the CELAC-EU Summit, signaling Haiti’s active participation in global dialogues.
