The first contingent of Kenyan police officers has arrived in Haiti, marking the start of a UN-authorized, multinational mission aimed at quelling the rampant gang violence that has devastated the Caribbean nation. This deployment, long-delayed by legal and logistical challenges, is heavily supported by international partners, including the United States and Canada. Ottawa has played a key diplomatic role and pledged over $123 million in funding, training, and equipment to support the mission, which seeks to stabilize the country and create conditions for a political resolution to its deep-seated crisis.
