UNIPA News(Haiti)On this Saturday, February 21, 2026, a significant signal has been sent in the struggle to stabilize Haiti. Twenty-five soldiers from the Armed Forces of Haiti (FADH) have flown to Martinique to participate in intensive training with the Armed Forces in the Antilles (FAA). This initiative is part of a dynamic effort to strengthen national capacities at a time when the country is facing an unprecedented security crisis.
This training program represents more than just a transfer of technical skills. It also reflects a commitment to regional cooperation and the professionalization of the Haitian defense forces. In a context where institutions are weakened, investing in the training of men and women in uniform becomes a strategic imperative to restore state authority and strengthen public confidence.
At the same time, the Haitian National Police (PNH) is intensifying its operations in the commune of Kenscoff. Yesterday evening, a major intervention was carried out there. The tactical engagement, supported by sharpshooters and the use of two reconnaissance drones, resulted in the neutralization of sixteen suspected bandits. Authorities specify that this toll remains provisional, as the operation was still ongoing at the time of reporting. No losses were reported within the ranks of law enforcement, testifying to rigorous planning and operational coordination.
These actions reflect the increasing strength of national security forces against increasingly organized armed groups. They also illustrate a determination to regain control of territories and restore a climate of safety for citizens.
However, these efforts, while necessary, are not enough on their own. Security in Haiti cannot be sustainable without a comprehensive approach integrating justice, governance, social development, and the fight against impunity. Training soldiers and increasing police operations must go hand-in-hand with profound reforms and consistent international support that respects national sovereignty.
Today more than ever, the Haitian people expect concrete results. The training of the FADH and the actions of the PNH must be part of a clear vision: that of a State capable of ensuring the security of its citizens, restoring public order, and guaranteeing a stable future for generations to come.
