25 armored vehicles were handed over to the Haitian National Police this Sunday, December 28. These pieces of equipment, which will be used for troop transport, are a donation from the United States of America. The delivery was made to the institution's general directorate in the presence of several high-ranking state officials, including Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils Aimé.
Speaking during the handover of the armored vehicles, the head of government
hailed «this significant advance in the fight for the country's security and stability». The head of the Prime Minister's Office publicly expressed his gratitude to the U.S. Embassy, particularly to INL. According to him, this donation of 25 armored vehicles reflects a clear and concrete understanding of the security challenges facing Haiti.
«The United States is one of those partners who do not just talk, but provide concrete support», he stated. According to Fils Aimé, these armored vehicles represent an important lever in the fight against armed groups. «They should facilitate operations aimed at regaining control of certain neighborhoods, securing strategic routes, and creating the necessary conditions for the return of displaced populations to their areas of origin». The objective, he emphasized, remains above all to allow citizens to regain a minimum of security in their daily lives. Furthermore, the Prime Minister reiterated that the government's plan is based on two major priorities: first, to restore a climate of security by early 2026, and to organize credible elections before the end of the year. The Prime Minister also praised the commitment of the PNH General Directorate and the entire command, who continue to work under particularly difficult conditions. According to him, the Haitian people primarily expect a clear response to insecurity, which is considered the basis for all sustainable development and institutional stability. Finally, while commending the efforts of the police institution in the fight against major banditry in the country, Alix Didier Fils Aimé continues to urge the population to be patient.
