The spokesperson for the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS), Jack Ombaka, called on contributing countries to honor their commitments by providing appropriate equipment to help restore peace in Haiti. Commissioner Ombaka was a guest on Radio Galaxie’s 1 p.m. news broadcast. “Without the presence of the MSS, Port-au-Prince would already have fallen into the hands of the gangs. That will not happen as long as we are here. We are doing what we can. But what we lack is heavy equipment to clear the roads,” stated spokesperson Jack Ombaka.

“We are aware of the dissatisfaction among Haitians. But the international community needs to be encouraged to deliver the appropriate equipment so we can do the job. Without this equipment, we will not reach our objectives. This is very important. Everything is fine with the United States. It’s thanks to them that we are here. But it’s not only up to the Americans to provide us with equipment. Other countries supporting the mission had pledged donations. During the meetings, we were promised that they would be delivered soon. We are confident. We can do more if we have more equipment, more weapons, and more ammunition,” continued the MSS spokesperson.
