There are a lot of actors behind these armed groups: politicians, private-sector personalities and people from civil society. Consequently, the situation in Haiti is extremely complicated.
If we really want to improve the situation, there has to be a force supporting the Police nationale d'Haïti. The police are currently underequipped; they are a third-rate police force that can't really contain the gangs.
The present situation is really troubling: women are being raped, kidnappings have reached truly disturbing proportions, and we've seen a lot of violence-related deaths. In the circumstances, apart from political issues and negotiations, we really need to establish a force that's equal to the situation. From that standpoint, I think this is the lot of the vast majority of the population that's suffering. We need an international force to assist the Police nationale d'Haïti so it can actually intervene. This is a matter of security, survival and human rights.
