Port-au-Prince, Haiti ? Haiti is ready to buy out street gangs.

Special U.N. envoy Edmond Mullet said Haiti’s government and U.N. peacekeepers will launch a major campaign to disarm up to 1,000 gang members with promises of money, food and job training.

Top gang leaders will not be eligible for the plan, Mullet said Monday.

“We are ready to receive 1,000 armed people who would willingly give up their weapons and arms,” Mullet said. “We have kits to provide for their families, food and economic assistance. The whole package is ready, and we’re going to bring that in place in the following days.”
