UN Chief Visits Haiti Amid Surging Violence and Cabinet Director Kidnapping

UN Secretary-General António Guterres visited Port-au-Prince on June 16, 2026, to address a humanitarian crisis that has left 1.5 million people homeless. The visit follows a weekend of violence in the Cité Soleil slum that left 30 people dead or missing and the kidnapping of James Boyard, the Defense Ministry's cabinet director. Guterres reviewed the operational status of the new international Gang Suppression Force (GSF), which is struggling to contain gang control over 90 percent of the capital.
