NEW YORK – Preliminary details have emerged regarding international commitments to Haiti’s Gang Suppression Force (GSF) following a pivotal December 9th coordination meeting at United Nations headquarters. While official confirmations remain pending, multiple nations have declared concrete support for the offensive security mission aimed at combating gang violence in the Caribbean nation.
Substantial military contributions form the backbone of the international response. The Republic of Chad has committed 1,500 combat personnel, representing one of the largest single troop deployments. Five additional nations, whose identities remain confidential pending formal agreements, have collectively pledged over 3,000 military specialists to support the operation’s offensive capabilities.
The multinational coalition includes diverse support from across the globe. Canada, France, Argentina, Benin, Burundi, The Gambia, Gabon, Djibouti, and the Dominican Republic have all announced various forms of assistance. Beyond troop deployments, participating nations have promised specialized mobile units, aerial surveillance assets, and naval support components to ensure comprehensive operational coverage.
Financial backing for the mission has reached significant levels. Canada has reportedly committed $40 million in direct funding, while the Dominican Republic has pledged $10 million to the GSF Trust Fund alongside offering critical medical facilities for treating wounded personnel. Notably, Haiti itself will contribute $50 million to the mission through combined monetary and in-kind support, marking a substantial domestic investment in the security initiative.
Participating nations have until February 2026 to formalize their commitments through detailed memoranda of understanding and operational agreements. The international response demonstrates growing consensus on addressing Haiti’s security crisis through coordinated multinational action with robust offensive capabilities.
