The Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission in Haiti is making gradual progress despite numerous challenges. Experts and officials note that while the mission is advancing, it faces significant obstacles that have impeded its pace and effectiveness in fully neutralizing the gangs that have taken control of much of the country. The mission confronts a three-fold challenge that threatens the gains of its collaborative efforts. These include underfunding, lack of resources, and insufficient forces to restore normalcy in the restive country. This situation has placed considerable pressure on the international community to provide additional support. Georges Fauriol, a senior adviser with the Latin America program at the US Institute of Peace, describes the MSS mission as a "three-legged vehicle that is missing a wheel," highlighting the difficulties it faces in its current state.
