Kenya's Policing Mission: Combating Gangs in Haiti
Kenya has offered to lead a multinational force of 1,000 police officers to assist and train Haitian police in combating the surge of violence between police and gangs in Port-au-Prince. The offer comes after the UN appealed for a volunteer to coordinate an assistance mission in Haiti, which has been experiencing escalating violence and displacement. The situation in Haiti has been further destabilized by the assassination of President Jovenel Moise, and the country has struggled with criminal gang influence for years. The international community has been hesitant to set up an international mission due to past failures and concerns about the security situation.
