Kenyan Police Head to Haiti Amid Controversy Over Deployment

Kenyan Police Head to Haiti Amid Controversy Over Deployment Kenyan police officers are departing for Haiti on Monday to lead a multinational force combatting escalating violence from powerful gangs, which has contributed to political upheaval. President William Ruto’s administration is defying a court ruling that deems the deployment unconstitutional, sparking criticism over the police force’s checkered history of alleged abuses. The initial deployment of 400 officers marks the beginning of Kenya’s commitment to send 1,000 personnel for the United Nations-led mission in Haiti. While the US has pledged $300 million to support the mission, President Biden has expressed concerns that American troop presence in Haiti could lead to misinterpretations and raise significant questions.
