Among those killed are nearly two dozen police officers, overwhelmed by gangs that control 80% of Port-au-Prince and are better-equipped and have more powerful weapons. The most recent killings targeted three officers from a newly formed anti-gang tactical unit who were on patrol in an armored vehicle. A fourth remains missing.<\/p>\n<p>Rameau\u2019s appointment comes as a newly selected prime minister and Cabinet take the reins of Haiti\u2019s government with a transitional presidential council at their side.<\/p>\n<p>Rameau previously served as director general of police under slain former President Jovenel Mo\u00efse, who appointed him in August 2019. Prior to that, he oversaw the detective division. He was ousted as police chief in November 2020 after Prime Minister Joseph Jouthe accused him of being incompetent and not producing results at a time when gangs were seizing control of more territory.<\/p>\n<p>Neither Rameau nor Elb\u00e9 immediately returned messages for comment.Haiti\u2019s police unions have repeatedly called for Elb\u00e9\u2019s resignation and arrest, noting that gangs have raided and burned at least 30 police stations and substations in recent months as part of a series of attacks that began Feb. 29 that targeted critical state infrastructure and led to the eventual resignation of former Prime Minister Ariel Henry.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, a police union known as SPNH-17 held a press conference to condemn the state of the department and deplore the officers killed.\u201cLook at these young men, hacked to death,\u201d said spokesman Garry Jean-Baptiste as he pointed to rows of pictures behind him that depicted officers killed on duty. The union also issued a statement the day Haiti celebrated the creation of its police department.\u201cHaiti\u2019s National Police is 29 years old, but it still can\u2019t walk\u2026it hasn\u2019t grown because corruption and incompetence has held it hostage,\u201d it said.Meanwhile, another police union known as SYNAPOHA called on newly installed Prime Minister Garry Conille this week to make strengthening the department a priority.Conille went along on a patrol with police on June 2, donning a flak jacket and helmet as he entered an armored vehicle. SNPH-17 said at the time that the prime minister would notice during the patrol that the country had no leadership and that criminals had too much control.\u201cThe prime minister must see the need to have another team at the top,\u201d the union said.<\/p>\n<p>Elb\u00e9 was appointed head of Haiti\u2019s National Police in October 2021, replacing L\u00e9on Charles.Last year, under Elb\u00e9, at least 36 officers were killed in gang-related violence from January to mid-August, according to a U.N. report.The international community has provided training and other resources to help boost Haiti\u2019s National Police, which also is awaiting the U.N.-backed deployment of a police force from Kenya.___Coto reported from San Juan, Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n<p>  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {<br \/>\n      FB.init({<\/p>\n<p>              appId : &#8216;870613919693099&#8217;,<\/p>\n<p>          xfbml : true,<br \/>\n          version : &#8216;v2.9&#8217;<br \/>\n      });<br \/>\n  };<\/p>\n<p>  (function(d, s, id){<br \/>\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];<br \/>\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}<br \/>\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;<br \/>\n     js.src = &#8220;https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js&#8221;;<br \/>\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);<br \/>\n   }(document, &#8216;script&#8217;, &#8216;facebook-jssdk&#8217;));<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) \u2014 Haitian leaders on Saturday ousted Frantz Elb\u00e9, the beleaguered director of Haiti\u2019s National Police, following months of criticism that he wasn\u2019t doing enough to protect officers under assault by gangs.Former Haitian police chief Normil Rameau, who also was dismissed from<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":124705,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-124704","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-international"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124704"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124704\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":124706,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124704\/revisions\/124706"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124705"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
