Haitian police leaders met with Kenya's general police inspector as the deployment of an international force led by the African country to counter widespread violence in the Caribbean one is seemingly near after many delays.
"We are ready and committed to helping when needed," said the Kenyan official, Japhet Koome, during a meeting in Nairobi. Haitian police also met with the commanders of the 1,000 Kenyan officers who would lead the force if finally deployed. Overall, the group is set to be comprised of some 2,500 officers also coming from countries such as Jamaica, Bangladesh and Chad.
