It is the early morning of February 24th, 2022. Just minutes after the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin declares his “Special Military Operation” or simply full-scale invasion in Ukraine, the Russian 3M-54 Caliber Cruise Missile is on the way toward its target. First, it seems like it will strike the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, like many other missiles that day.

However, its real target is the military base 3018 of the National Guard of Ukraine, just 10 kilometers away from the city. Around 6 am, the missile explodes on the empty exercise ground in front of the barracks. A couple of minutes later, another one hits near the local residential buildings.

This is the first attack on the small town, which will become known for one of the most significant and fierce battles of the first days of the full-scale Russian invasion. This town is called Hostomel.

Video Haitian Gang ‘400 Mawozo’ on the periphery of a firefight with forces of the UN Gang Suppression Force (GSF) in Croix-Des-Bouquets, Haiti 23/10/26

400 Mawozo is not the gang lead by the famous police officer turned cannibal Jimmy “Barbacue” Chérizier

400 Mawozo are primary rivals of Chérizier’s Viv Ansanm gang, who control most of the capital Port-au-Prince.

The GSF has received pledges for troop deployment from Kenya, El Salvadore, Bengladesh, Chad, Guetemala, Sri Lanka, The Bahamas, Belize, Jamaica, Burundi, Benin, The Gambia, Guyana, Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda, and Gabon (and senior command staff from Mongolia)

GSF has received an authorized maximum of 5,550 personnel but is currently operating at 1,441 deployed with not all pledged nations having yet initiated deployment (lots of new costs involved for these countries who are not used to organizing overseas deployment)

Financial backing for the deployment and maintenance of GSF has been paid into by Qatar (30mil), Canada (28.8mil), Germany(6mil), France (13mil), the UK (5.6mil), USA (200mil), The Dominican Republic (10mil), Haiti (50mil), and an undisclosed amount from Greece.

The crimes of their opposition, 400 Mawozo and the other Haitian gangs, run the gauntlet of Extortion, Drug and Arms trafficking, Destruction of vital infrastructure, Kidnapping and Ransom, Mass rape, Child Recruitment, Child Trafficking, Cannibalism, Destruction of humanitarian camps, and torture of none combatants.
