Haiti hired US mercenaries to fight its gangs. Here's how it's going (youtube.com)

Erik Prince in the capital. Even the port is surrounded by gangs.

He gets tens of millions for his service, estimated, plus 10% of any new customs revenue generated if he clears smuggling etc. His cost is 1/6 what Haiti's annual camp cost was before, he said.

He hasn't taken out any gang leaders, which he said is not how insurgencies are defeated, despite significant focus on that in the US. It happens by taking significant manpower off the battlefield. Enabling sovereignty to resume. His goal is so people can leave their home and go to work or groceries or whatever and return to their house without being killed, robbed etc.

Chadian soldiers.
