Haiti’s besieged government has begun to employ drones in the fight against the gangs that have turned the capital, Port-au-Prince, into a battlefield.
The use of commercial drones modified to drones improvised munitions by Haitian government forces first emerged last March. Police posted video that appeared to show drone strikes targeting gang members on May 27, but the footage has since been removed.
A recent report by The New York Times revealed that Erik Prince, founder of the American private military contractor Blackwater and a prominent supporter of United States President Donald Trump, had signed a contract to help combat the gangs wreaking havoc in the Haitian capital.
Prince is also reportedly working to recruit American military veterans and other mercenaries for possible deployment this summer.
According to The New York Times’ report, which was published on May 28, Prince is part of a secret task force involved in recent drone operations in Port-au-Prince.
Drone strikes have already killed more than 200 people, according to Pierre Esperance, who runs a leading human rights organization in Port-au-Prince.
A report released by The Washington Post on April 10, said that nine civilians, including women and children, were among the casualties of the strikes.
More than one million Haitians have been already displaced as a result of the gang violence in Port-au-Prince and other parts of the country. On top of that, roughly half Haiti’s population faces food insecurity.
Employing contractors from Blackwater and using drones could give the Haitian government an advantage, but it is highly unlikely to resolve the crisis which is rooted in economic failure.

in ugly americunt dystopia we are drones
exactly ! suicide drones. thats why blowing up the atlantic cables have highest priority.
the industrial revolution and it’s consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
agree. it have create a feed cattle, a working slave cast, possible to use for anything, latest use was mass murder in the hospitals.
also, ukraine military hit 4 tu-95 (video showing them all 4 tu-95 burning)… not long ago.
what the fuk are these guys doing? they lost syria, they are so slow to build iran order of their jets (still), the whole ukraine war is a show now…
for those who don’t know, ukraine launch those drones from a truck near the airbase (murmansk region).
go and look, russian soldiers are showing the aftermath of the attack. btw people are taking video of ukraine drones leave the truck near the airbase… and guess what this came after that train attack.
this is what nato going to do now… yes ukraine is done for but they (nato) can still hit russia. my 2 cents more to come after these attacks.
russia really needs to finish the job… these things adding up. the worse thing is the fact that some countries (ahem eu/nato) might get bold and do something rtded. just remember what trump was saying a few weeks ago. ukraine is not really behind these attacks (as we all know)… it is cia, mi6, and other nato clowns.
russia will respond but if it isn’t strong one guess what they do it again.
“severomorsk naval base is being attacked by ukranian fpv drones, the base houses russian nuclear submarines.”
guess how? fpv drones inside the trucks… i recall people laughing at iran launching their drones from trucks.
this would make a great cell phone video game. *** droning haitian gang members *** high value target : pierre desvareux : gang leader *kabooom*
