One verb sums up the continuation of operations and the firepower of the security forces: “intensify,” a well-informed source told Le Nouvelliste on Friday, February 6, 2026. The source indicated that the three tracked armored vehicles received yesterday as a donation from South Korea had been expected for three months. As part of a procurement order, the government is awaiting 40 additional wheeled armored vehicles, equipped with turrets and firing ports, the source specified, assuring that law-enforcement offensives have turned gang leaders into “nocturnal nomads.”

“The renewal of the contract with private companies is not optional, because we do not have personnel capable of handling the weapons that will be arriving shortly,” the source said when asked about the renewal of the contract of the private military company hired last year by the Haitian government for more than $40 million.
