General Says Crisis in Haiti Requires International Response
Southcom has a wide range of contingency plans and is prepared for a possible mass migration from Haiti or elsewhere.
PENTAGON: The crisis in Haiti requires an international solution that also includes the Haitian perspective, said Army Gen. Laura Richardson, commander of U.S. Southern Command.
Southcom has a wide range of contingency plans and is prepared for a possible mass migration from Haiti or elsewhere, she said today at an Atlantic Council event.
"We want to be able to do what's right and humane and be able to take care of the populations that are trying to escape the crisis," Richardson said.
As of now, the U.S. doesn't have plans to send troops into Haiti, she said. The State Department is working with other governments in the region and internationally, as well as with nongovernmental organizations, to provide solutions.
Richardson said there's a lot of international support for Guyana, as neighboring Venezuela disputes their common border. "We continue to watch the situation very, very closely," she said.
