The African military officers were concerned about the missing supplemental payments because they will soon have to pay for their children’s school fees and guarantee current expenses and food for their relatives back home.

Le Nouvelliste newspaper, based on a report by CNN, informed that those officers were expecting a significant financial bonus for their mission in Haiti.

They are involved in an exhausting mission more suited for a military force than a police detachment, the source said, noting that the officers are not allowed to leave their base in Port-au-Prince after working hours.
