Kenyan-Led Security Mission to Haiti Faces Delays Amid Growing Gang Threats

Kenyan President William Ruto is visiting the US to discuss a multinational security intervention in Haiti, which Kenya is leading with significant financial backing from Washington. The mission aims to address gang violence in Haiti but faces domestic opposition in Kenya and skepticism in Haiti due to past controversies with foreign interventions. The US supports the mission but has not committed troops, focusing instead on financial and logistical support. The visit also aims to strengthen US-Kenya relations amid rising Chinese and Russian influence in Africa.
