What happened
Nayib Bukele deployed 2,000 troops to Haiti. Concurrently, Vectus Global, a private security firm founded by Erik Prince, began fighting armed men in Plaine du Cul-de-Sac near Port-au-Prince. A gang leader, Lanmò Sanjou, confirmed to The Associated Press that he wrote to the United Nations Secretary General requesting a delegation for dialogue and mediation. Sanjou also stated that the four aviation technicians were dead, contradicting the Haitian government's claim that they are alive.

Why it matters
The deployment of foreign military forces and the involvement of private security firms like Vectus in Haiti signal a significant escalation in the country's security crisis. This heightened military and private contractor presence increases operational complexity and risk for international security missions and local institutions.
Vectus Global operates in Haiti and Ecuador, linking private contractors to Donald Trump and State Department officials.
