United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday condemned a gang attack in Haiti in the Centre Department of Mirebalais which resulted in 500 detainees escaping from a local prison.
A spokesman for UN Secretary-General Stephane Dujarric during Tuesday’s midday briefing said the Secretary-General issued a call for Haitian authorities and stakeholders, with support from the international community, to redouble their efforts to restore security, protect civilians, and create the required conditions for the restoration of democratic institutions.
He said this includes ensuring that the multinational security mission and the Haitian National Police are equipped with the required resources, logistics, and personnel to fulfil their mandate.
