Haiti PM vows to crack down on rampant violence

Haiti’s Prime Minister has vowed to crack down on rampant violence, ordering gangs to surrender their weapons.

According to AP News, PM Garry Conille made the statements during a televised speech late on Wednesday.

His comments came a day after a second group of 200 Kenyan police officers arrived in Haiti to help address widespread gang violence as part of a U.N.-backed mission led by the East African country.

AP News says gangs are in control of 80% of Port-au-Prince, and they have been blamed for killing or injuring more than 1,500 people in the first three months of the year alone.
