It would be a good start for the Haitian governement to take responsibilities for the current situation. It is bad policy to sit and talk with kidnappers and then blame the situation on deportees and drug trafficking. Jamaica has the highest number of deportees from the States but their security situation is way better than that of Haiti. The Dominican republic is also a transit country for drug trafficking and came in second place with the number of deportees from the US, Yet, it does not have this insecurity problem.
Insecurity in Haiti is first and foremost a political matter. Those gangs leaders are former lavalas activists that were armed to defend the lavalas regime. Now, they are using those weapons to make money. That is why the current governement know who is doing the killing. Now they have to decide between the future of the nation or the life of their former allies.
