Canada to train troops ahead of Haiti peace-keeping mission
The Canadian government has announced the deployment of soldiers to train troops from the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) ahead of the peacekeeping mission to Haiti.
Seventy troops from Canada’s Armed Forces will be deployed to Jamaica where the training will be held.
“At the request of the Jamaican government, they will provide training to military personnel from Caribbean Community (CARICOM) nations who are set to deploy to Haiti as part of the United Nations-authorized, Kenyan-led, Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission,” read part of the statement.
This training is among Canada’s contributions to the Kenya-led mission in Haiti as the crisis escalates. Troops who will receive training from their Canadian counterparts will help boost the Haitian National Police (HNP).
This training shall continue for an average of one month and the CAF will train approximately 330 CARICOM troops from Jamaica, Belize and the Bahamas.
The training shall also involve different topics such as the protection of civilians, conduct and discipline, and conflict-related sexual violence.
