Chad intends to deploy 800 police officers and gendarmes to Haiti this year to participate in an international force to help Haiti's police fight powerful armed gangs, a senior Chadian police said.
The Chadian forces are expected to arrive by June after receiving training from "European and American partners", said the official, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak now to the media.
Chad told the United Nations in October 2023 that it was willing to contribute troops and police to the MSS, without specifying numbers or a timeline.
At the time, the U.N. also received similar pledges from Benin and Bangladesh.
None have so far deployed.
