"Kenyan Court Blocks Planned Police Deployment to Haiti, Leaving Haitians Desperate"

Kenya's plan to deploy police officers to Haiti as part of a UN-backed mission to combat gang violence has been halted by a court ruling, which the government intends to challenge. The ruling stated that the deployment was unconstitutional and illegal. The decision to deploy had been seen as a show of solidarity with Haiti, but concerns were raised about supporting an unelected administration and previous human rights abuses in the country. The Haitian government and international community had been seeking a multinational force to address the escalating violence, with Kenya and other countries pledging personnel for the mission.
