Erik Prince’s Drone-Heavy Task Force Halts Gang Advance in Haiti Amid High Civilian Toll
Erik Prince’s private security firm, Vectus Global, is operating a secretive 'Task Force' in Haiti to combat gang violence. Since March, the operation has conducted over 2,000 drone strikes, halting gang expansion in Port-au-Prince but resulting in significant civilian casualties and high costs. While the UN credits the force with stabilizing downtown areas, critics argue the approach lacks accountability and fails to address root causes, with major roads and elections still stalled.
