Kenya Says It's Ready to Lead Multinational Force in Haiti​

July 29, 2023

Demonstrators fill the streets during a protest to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, July 20, 2023.



NAIROBI, KENYA | Kenya is ready to lead a multinational force in Haiti and will deploy 1,000 police officers to the strife-torn Caribbean nation once its offer is accepted, the foreign minister said Saturday.
Gangs control about 80% of the Haitian capital, and violent crimes such as kidnappings for ransom, armed robbery and carjackings are common.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry have for nearly a year sought international intervention to help support the police, but no country had stepped forward.
"Kenya has accepted to positively consider leading a Multi-National Force to Haiti," Kenya's Foreign Minister Alfred Mutua said in a statement late Saturday.
"Kenya's commitment is to deploy a contingent of 1,000 police officers to help train and assist Haitian police restore normalcy in the country and protect strategic installations," the statement said.
Its proposed deployment still required a mandate from the U.N. Security Council and approval from domestic authorities, he said.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke by phone Friday night to Kenyan President William Ruto, according to State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller.
Kenya is seen as a democratic anchor in East Africa and has participated in peacekeeping operations in its immediate region including in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Somalia.

Did you really pull up a story of one Dirty Harry cop in a story about a country sending over hundreds of officers ?
Is this your comment, for real?

A rogue cop doesn't define the entire police force of a country. His actions are so over the top, that you remember them months or years after you saw the video. How/why would you think that he represents the average cop, or that the country would send that element of officer in an international deployment?

 

[Secure Da Bag]

So the rumor is that the US "suggested" Kenya take the lead in this. Rwanda as well. So is this gonna be another Brazil-UN catastrophe? Or will Pan-Africanism really work this time?

He wasn't a rogue cop, that was a policing strategy from the top down. A simple google search shows all the human right investigations into Kenyan police brutality, over a 1000 ppl have been killed by police in Nairobi alone in the last decade. It's a known issue and I don't trust them to suddenly change in a volatile place like Haiti

Kenya police are told not to report deaths during protests. A watchdog says they killed 6 this week

Police in Kenya say they have been ordered not to report deaths amid demonstrations against the rising cost of living.
