Kenya-Led Force Vows to Restore Order in Gang-Ravaged Haiti

The multinational mission aims to reclaim gang-controlled areas and prepare Haiti for democratic elections by 2026.

Kenya has deployed 200 police officers, with the total force expected to reach 2,500 personnel from multiple countries.
Haitian Police Chief Normil Rameau emphasizes the mission's focus on reclaiming gang-controlled regions and aiding displaced citizens.
The United Nations-backed mission has faced scrutiny but is supported by over $300 million from the United States.
Haiti's Prime Minister Garry Conille acknowledges the mixed history of foreign intervention but stresses the need for stability.
The mission's success is seen as crucial for setting the stage for free and fair elections in February 2026.
