Stolen Colombian weapons, ammo may have ended up in hands of Haiti gangs, president says​


Some of the weapons and ammunition recently discovered stolen from two Colombian military bases might have ended up in the hands of armed gangs in Haiti, according to Colombian President Gustavo Petro, who warned that arms smugglers have created alliances with corrupt members of his country’s military.

While describing the theft of the weaponry as a grave issue, Petro also warned that part of the military supplies could have ended up in the hands of Colombian guerrillas and other local armed groups. Besides ammunition, the missing supplies include explosives, hand grenades and anti-tank missiles.

The weapons were “destined for third parties such as armed irregular groups in Colombia... and probably for groups involved in foreign conflicts, the closest being Haiti,” Petro said on Tuesday from the presidential palace in Bogota.

The missing equipment was detected amid reports that foreign smugglers have been supplying weapons to Haitian gangs, feeding the growing spiral of armed violence gripping the country. Amid a two-month-long insurgency by armed groups in Haiti, gangs have seem to have an endless supply of ammunition, raising questions about their origin.

Interesting article. They say the caliber and type of weapons were likely not traceable to US gun shops.
I'm thinking the US Feds put pressure on Colombia to "launch this investigation".

Haiti is part of the drug trafficking routes of Colombian cartels for decades. Gangs using the money from ransoms and extortion to stockpile weapons.

*This is the behavior during Emergency/crisis mode, y'all. Same type of incompetence and corruption that we've been pointing out is on full display, in real time for the world to see. Still making power grabs instead of trying to handle business. All while P-au-P is under constant siege from gangs.

Haitians who go on public platforms and talk about blan, western imperialism, etc are deflecting, and they know it.
