"US Urges Kenya to Lead Haiti Force, Amid Concerns of Potential Abuse"

The US is considering Kenya to lead a multinational force in Haiti to address gang warfare, despite Kenya's police force being accused of killings and torture. Kenyan police officers have been warned against violent abuses, but now they may be deployed to Haiti, where they have little overseas experience and don't speak French. Human rights watchdogs are concerned about exporting abusive police, while Kenya's government sees it as a demonstration of solidarity. Kenya's police force has a presence in Somalia and Congo, but has fewer personnel in UN peacekeeping missions compared to other African nations. Kenya's police force has received training and support from the US and EU, but recent protests have highlighted allegations of brutality.
