Kenyan Police Deployment to Haiti Delayed Amid Rising Gang Violence
An advance team of Kenyan police officials has returned home from Haiti after recommending a delay in the deployment of a multinational force due to logistical issues. The bases are still under construction and essential resources are needed before the first 200 Kenyan police officers can be deployed. The deployment, initially set for this week, has been postponed for three weeks. The U.S. has pledged $300 million to support the mission, which aims to address gang violence in Haiti.
