In a high-stakes move to advance the Haitian government’s nationwide campaign to reestablish public order and state sovereignty over violence-plagued areas, Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé carried out a strategic working visit to the Gang Suppression Force (GSF) headquarters in Tabarre on Wednesday, June 10, 2026.
The prime minister was not alone in the visit: he was joined by Vladimir Paraison, the acting director general of the Haitian National Police (PNH), for talks with a cross-institutional senior delegation that included GSF Special Representative Jack Christofides, Daniela Kroslak — Deputy Secretary-General and head of the United Nations Support Office in Haiti (BANUH) — and Major General Erdenebat Batsuuri, commander-in-chief of the FRG.
Central to all closed-door and open discussions was a shared agreement to ramp up coordinated joint security operations across Haiti. The core priorities laid out during the talks included reestablishing long-term stable security, recapturing swathes of national territory currently controlled by armed gang factions, and consolidating the tactical and strategic gains that security forces have already secured on the ground.
During the visit, Fils-Aimé reiterated the Haitian government’s unshakable commitment to rooting out remaining pockets of gang-related violence and insecurity. He emphasized that a top policy goal is guaranteeing unimpeded, safe movement for all Haitian citizens across every region of the country, a basic right that has been disrupted by years of gang activity.
Beyond diplomatic and strategic discussions, the prime minister conducted an on-site inspection of multiple operations coordination rooms and ongoing infrastructure development projects at the base. A key site on his inspection itinerary was a set of new dormitories currently under construction, which are designed to accommodate incoming additional contingents that will boost the GSF’s on-the-ground intervention capacity.
Fils-Aimé also carved out time to meet with the base’s on-site medical personnel, where he conducted a first-hand review of the healthcare and support systems in place to serve security force members deployed to frontline anti-gang operations. He used the meeting to publicly commend the professionalism, courage and relentless dedication of all security and support personnel deployed to advance Haiti’s national security goals.
Closing out his visit, Fils-Aimé reaffirmed his personal commitment to shaping government policy and action around the on-the-ground realities facing security forces. He stressed that the administration will continue to provide full support to the GSF and allied security bodies as they carry out their critical mission, with the end goal of speeding up the full restoration of legitimate state authority across every corner of Haiti.
