200 additional Kenyan police arrive in Haiti in U.N.-backed mission to fight criminal gangs

LA Times  

People walk past an armored police vehicle patrolling the streets in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Monday. A second contingent of 200 police officers from Kenya arrived Tuesday in Haiti to bolster a U.N.-backed mission led by the East African country to battle violent gangs in the troubled Caribbean country. Authorities have declined to provide details on the Kenyans’ assignments, citing security concerns, although Associated Press journalists have seen them on patrol in areas near the main international airport, which reopened in late May after gang violence forced it to close for nearly three months. The Kenyan-led mission is meant to bolster Haiti’s National Police, which remains understaffed and underfunded, with only about 10,000 officers active at a time in a country of more than 11 million people. Da Rin, with the International Crisis Group, warned that the Kenyan mission alone will not be sufficient to curb gang violence, noting that certain politicians and business owners have long been tied to gangs.
