Kenya Bolsters UN Mission in Haiti with Additional Police

400 Kenyan officers now deployed to combat gang violence in Port-au-Prince, with more international support expected

Kenya has sent a total of 400 police officers to Haiti as part of a UN-backed mission to tackle gang violence.
The mission aims to stabilize Haiti, where gangs control 80% of Port-au-Prince and have caused severe unrest.
International support includes upcoming deployments from the Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Benin, Chad, and Jamaica.
Concerns remain about the effectiveness and conduct of the mission, given past abuses by Kenyan police and previous UN interventions.
Haitians are divided on the mission's impact, with some hopeful but others skeptical about long-term improvements.
