Video Captures Guns Being Smuggled Into Haiti From USA Just Days Before Kenya Police Deployment

Video Captures Guns Being Smuggled: A Video footage released to the public on Wednesday, May 15, showed how guns manufactured in the United States were being smuggled into Haiti.

This finding  happens just a week before Kenya’s expected deployment to the Carribean country  between 18th and  May 23.

Apparently, The guns are smuggled through the Central Plateau then transferred through Haiti’s mountainous and hard-to-reach rural areas before finding their way into the capital Port-au-Prince

One gang leader, Vita Lom Innocent, even confessed on camera that it was easier to import guns than food and basic supplies.

They are carried through Cessnas which land in the dark of the night and under the radar To avoid detection.

Some of the guns are also smuggled across the land border or by sea from the United States.

Innocent however, refused to confirm his US contacts by stating, “ I do not go to the US, I cannot accuse the US to say weapons come from there.”

Due to the presence of guns and ammo in Haiti, 80 per cent of  Port-au-Prince is now controlled by the gangs

“At every corner, you do not know what you are going to come across not to mention the constantly shifting gang boundaries,” UN World Food Programme Country Director Jean-Martin Bauer explained the challenges of delivering humanitarian aid in the capital.
