Erik Prince, founder of the infamous Blackwater, is sending hundreds of contractors to help combat escalating gang violence in Haiti.
Prince's firm, Vectus Global, aims to reclaim key areas from armed groups, enabling safer travel between major cities.
Critics express concern that this private military intervention undermines Haitian institutions and the UN peacekeeping mission.
The deployment includes snipers and other specialists, raising worries about human rights and long-term consequences for Haiti.
