US Urges Immediate Kenyan-Led Security Deployment to Haiti

The call follows the fatal shooting of three US missionaries in Port-au-Prince amid escalating gang violence.

Kenya has committed 1,000 police officers to lead the UN-backed mission in Haiti, with up to 2,500 personnel expected.
The mission's start has been delayed despite high-level talks between US President Biden and Kenyan President Ruto.
Haiti's National Police struggle to contain gang violence, controlling only 20% of Port-au-Prince.
Latin American countries have largely abstained from joining the multinational force, citing domestic challenges.
Haitians face severe insecurity, with thousands killed or displaced due to gang activity.
