Germany is providing logistical support to the deployment of the Bangladeshi contingent of the Gang Repression Force (FRG) in Haiti. Thanks to its funding, approximately 525 tons of equipment and supplies from Bangladesh have been shipped to Haiti to bolster the operational capabilities of this multinational force.
The German Embassy in Port-au-Prince announced this operation on Thursday, November 5, 2026, in a statement sent to the newspaper Le Nouvelliste, consulted by Vant Bèf Info (VBI).
A logistics operation involving several international partners
The delivery of the equipment took place in several stages, with the participation of various international partners. Germany financed the air transport of the equipment from Bangladesh to the Dominican Republic. The United Nations Support Office in Haiti (BANUH) coordinated the operation.
Dominican authorities facilitated the maritime transport of equipment from the port of Haina to Haiti. The equipment includes armored vehicles intended to support FRG operations in the fight against armed groups.
The embassy specifies that Germany is among the main financial contributors to the FRG. The country ranks second, with a commitment of approximately US$445 million.
Germany's ambassador to Haiti, Maike Friedrichsen, praised the success of the operation and reaffirmed her country's commitment to restoring security.
"Germany stands firmly with Haiti and its people. Faced with violence and insecurity, we hope that our support will help to better protect Haitians and create the conditions for a safer future," she said.
The diplomat also emphasized the importance of international cooperation in carrying out this operation. She thanked BANUH for its coordination, Bangladesh for its contribution, the Dominican Republic for its logistical support, and the United States for its support.
Equipment has been arriving in Port-au-Prince for quite some time now. It is now time to move from material resources to concrete actions on the ground, in order to end the reign of armed gangs and restore security to the country.
