African country will lead coalition intended to bolster police force outmatched in fierce fighting that has wracked the Caribbean nation
A first deployment of Kenyan police officers will depart for Haiti as early as Tuesday, marking the beginning of a long-stalled international task force intended to wrest control of the Caribbean country from violent gangs. Kenya had volunteered to lead the UN-authorised operation, known as the Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti , last July, with 1,000 officers.
The much-anticipated Kenya-led mission is expected to bolster Haiti’s outmatched police force with about 2,500 additional officers, with Caribbean and African nations, including Barbados, Jamaica and Chad, as well as Bangladesh, agreeing to provide personnel. The US state department welcomed the news of the deployment at a briefing on Monday, and said the first officers would arrive in Haiti this week.
