The former head of the United Nations Mission for the Stabilization of Haiti (Minustah), the Chilean Mariano Fernández, judged Thursday that a “military action” in Haiti was relevant and should provide assistance to the police to attack the armed gangs.

After describing the situation as “fragile” and “complicated”, Fernández believes that a military force in this country must be followed by a development plan that reduces the difficulties of the population.

Only thus, assures Fernández, will there be any chance of success for a campaign led by foreign military forces to achieve political and social stability, as a prelude to economic and human development in the impoverished country.
