UN approves Kenya-led force to restore order in Haiti amid escalating gang violence
- Haiti requested international armed assistance over a year ago to combat powerful gangs controlling parts of the country.
- The UN Security Council approved sending a multinational force led by Kenya to support Haitian police and improve security.
- The U.S. sponsored the resolution and pledged substantial financial support for the one-year mission.
- Some countries like China and Russia abstained from the vote due to concerns over use of force and Haiti's government.
- Previous interventions in Haiti have faced difficulties, so expectations are measured for the Kenya-led force to achieve stability.
