Kenyan Police Deployment to Haiti Amid Gang Violence

Kenya plans to deploy 1,000 police officers to Haiti to address the escalating gang violence, following the UN Security Council's approval of Kenya's leadership in a multinational security force for the Caribbean nation. Despite initial legal hurdles in Kenya, an agreement has been signed between Kenyan President William Ruto and Haiti's Prime Minister Ariel Henry to expedite the deployment, with support pledged by the US and other countries. However, violence has intensified in Port au Prince, with a prominent gang leader orchestrating attacks to oust the prime minister.
