Recently, the first U.N.-backed contingent of foreign police officers from Kenya landed in Haiti to assist in addressing the surge of gang violence that has plagued the country for years. The Kenyan officers arrived in the capital of Port-au-Prince, where gang violence has led to significant unrest and displacement of hundreds of thousands of people.
The violent gangs in Haiti, controlling a large portion of the capital, have caused widespread chaos and left many homeless. The arrival of the Kenyan police marks the fourth major foreign military intervention in Haiti, with previous interventions facing challenges and controversies.
