Haiti Replaces Police Chief Amid Gang Crisis

Haiti is replacing its National Police Force head, Frantz Elbe, with former chief Rameau Normil amidst a severe gang crisis displacing over half a million people. The Haitian National Police has been combating armed gangs in Port-au-Prince, facing resource shortages and armed with weapons mainly trafficked from the U.S. Normil, who previously led the force, will take over from Elbe, who faced criticism for his management. Haiti's police force has been plagued by challenges, including insufficient resources, low morale, and violence, with plans for international support from Kenya in the future.
